Mercedes-Benz W202 C-Class C220 T Estate
Mercedes-Benz extended its naming strategy in the 1990s to include its ever increase diversity of vehicle lines.
The S-Class was already a known quantity, while the midrange cars (commencing with the W124 range in its final couple of years) became the E-Class, similarly, the new W202 replacement for the W201 190-range became the C-Class. This lineup was added to later in the decade withe the sub-compact, FWD A-Class, and the ML-Class SUV.
The W202 C-Class, however, expanded its mandate with a new estate car version, shown here, and an abundance of powertrain options, 4-cylinder, inline-6 (at launch), followed later by two new V6s and eventually V8 pertrol engines. Also were available were a range of inline-four and inline-five cylinder diesels.
Not included under the W202 model code, but developed as part of the platform was the R170 SLK Roadster and the C208 CLK Coupe and Cabriolet models which replaced the W124-based forebears.
To confuse matters further, Mercedes also sought to apply a spread of 'trim' combinations across almost all variants, Classic, Elegance, Avantgarde, and AMG.
