W124 was the internal chassis-designation for the 1986 to 1995 version of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class. The W124 models replaced the W123 models after 1985 (though in INDIA the W124 was manufactured upto mid 1997 in two varients E220 Petrol & E 250 Diesel) and were superseded by the W210 E-Class after 1995.
History
The W124 was a substantial, sporty mid-sized luxury vehicle platform, the last in a long line of "money-no-object" Mercedes saloons and was the result of extensive development. Estate cars (and optionally, saloons) had self-levelling rear suspension very similar to that of a Citroen BX; with gas-pressurised spheres, levelling suspension struts and an underbonnet pressurising pump. Unlike Citroen, Mercedes used rear springs as well as struts. Front suspension was more conventional.
The estate cars came in 5- or 7-seat models, the 7-seater having a rear-facing bench seat that folded flush into the floor. Both models had a split rear seat which folded flat to give almost 2 metres of load space and a retractable luggage compartment cover and retractable cargo net. The W124 estate continued in production alongside the new W210 until the W210 estate launched more than a year later.
