They were sold under the E-Class model names in both sedan (saloon) and station wagon body types. In 1988, W210 development started three years after the W124's introduction. The W210 E-class appearance, which was designed by Steve Mattin under design chief Bruno Sacco between 1989 and 1991, heralded a brand new design idiom for the Mercedes 'face', which would continue until the W209 CLK. W210 design work was frozen in May 1992 and developed for a show vehicle by late 1992. Resultantly, this design cue was previewed on the 1993 Coupé Concept shown at the Geneva Auto Show in March 1993. This idiom was the mainstream fashion used by Mercedes-Benz for a long period, and later appeared on other models such as the CLK (W208, W209, C208, C209, A208, A209), C-class (W203, CL203, S203), CL (C215), and the SL (R230).Design patents for both the Coupé Concept and the W210 E-Class were filed on 25 February 1993 in Germany and August 25, 1993 in the US.〔register.dpma.de/DPMAregister/gsm/register?GSNR=M9301492-0001〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Patent USD354778 - Automobile body )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=DPMAregister - Designs - Registerauskunft zum Design )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=DPMAregister - Designs - Registerauskunft zum Design )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=DPMAregister - Designs - Registerauskunft zum Design )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=DPMAregister - Designs - Registerauskunft zum Design )〕 On July 21, 1998, design patents were filed on an updated W210 (designed in 1997).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=DPMAregister - Designs - Registerauskunft zum Design )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=DPMAregister - Designs - Registerauskunft zum Design )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=DPMAregister - Designs - Registerauskunft zum Design )〕 As a result, for the 2000 model year, a new multi-function information system was incorporated into the instrument cluster below the speedometer, and the introduction of steering wheel controls for the audio/navigation/phone system. In addition, the 5-speed automatic transmission introduced "Touch Shift," which used the +/- gate positions for semi-manual control of the gearbox. This electronic system replaced the previous gated shift arrangement and simplified gear changes. Exterior changes included a revised front with a steeper rake, similar to the CLK, and restyled bumpers and lower body trim. The final W210 production included the E320 and E430 special editions released in two exterior colors - quartz silver (limited edition), obsidian black, and with Xenon lights, 17-inch alloy wheels and black maple walnut trim. Some estate cars had Citroen-like self-leveling rear suspension with suspension struts rather than shock absorbers, gas-filled suspension spheres to provide damping and an under bonnet pressurizing pump. Unlike the traditional Citroën application Mercedes opted for a fixed ride height and employed rear coil springs to maintain the static ride height when parked. First Mercedes-Benz production car featuring Xenon headlamps (including dynamic headlamp range control, only low beam).〔http://media.daimler.com/dcmedia/0-921-656548-1-1761294-1-0-1-0-0-1-12639-0-0-1-0-0-0-0-0.html?TS=1420582847031 More light in every situation: Turning night into day〕 == Engines == This was the first time a V6 engine was offered (model year 1998) to replace the straight-six configuration (1996–1997). This new Mercedes-Benz M112 engine produced 221 hp (164 kW) and 229 ft·lbf (310 N·m) of torque and offered a 0-60 mph (98 km/h) of 6.9 seconds. Other offerings were the E420 (1997), E430 (1998–2002), and E55 AMG (1999–2002) with 354 hp (264 kW) and a 5.4 L normally aspirated engine. In North America, the range also features two diesels, including both non-turbocharged (1996–1997) and turbocharged (1998–1999) 3.0 litre straight-six units. In 2000, Mercedes-Benz discontinued diesel powerplants in the E-class in North America. In Europe, the diesel engines were superseded by more advanced Common Rail (CDI) units (2000–2002). The CDI engines were not offered in North America until the E320 CDI in the newer W211 model.
