1983 Mercedes Benz 300D Turbodiesel Sedan original vintage advertisement.
DESCRIPTION:
The Mercedes-Benz 300 D Turbodiesel: Americas best-performing diesel is also one of the worlds most civilized sedans.
A diesel that loves hills and sprints away from stoplights... a sedan that laps up sports car roads. The 300 D Turbodiesel is both. Meanwhile, it coddles you and your passengers in that secure comfort unique to the automobiles of Mercedes-Benz.
Mercedes-Benz engineers
have extracted more sheer power from the 300 D Turbodiesel Sedan's five-cylinder engine than any other engineers have yet extracted from any other passenger car diesel,
huge domestic V-8's included.
Their secret was to couple an advanced engine design with a power-boosting turbocharger.
Even other turbocharged diesels are left flatfooted; this spacious, solid, 3585-lb. five-passenger Mercedes-Benz sedan ranks as the best performer of any diesel automobile sold in America.
The 300 D Turbodiesel is meanwhile perhaps the most conscientious performance automobile in America, because it is so inherently efficient that EPA figures show|27|mpg city estimated and 33 highway* An almost uncanny balance of power and frugality is thus struck.
So exotic is engine technology that the interior of each moving piston is constantly cooled by precisely timed jets of oil. But deep down this is still a diesel: a rugged, reliability-minded diesel that will never require a conventional tune-up.
Do not disturb
Over-the-road performance is superb. This means not only that the 300 D can swallow up rollercoaster back-country roads, and nip rather than lurch around corners-but that its occupants usually feel so undisturbed in the process.
Generations of Mercedes-Benz engineers have toiled since 1931 to develop, refine, and refine again the principle of four-wheel independent suspension that is primarily responsible.
These engineers have endowed the car with an exquisitely responsive steering mechanism, guided by 24 recirculating ball bearings. It feels l
iquid-smooth and seemingly frictionless. The shift lever is mounted down on the transmission tun-nel-but look again. The quadrant reads P-R-N-D-S-L. It is no mere automatic but a four-speed automatic, and is designed to serve equally well when shifted by hand. America's most advanced automotive braking system is four-wheel disc braking. An 11-inch disc brake is fitted to every wheel of every 300 D Turbodiesel Sedan.
Mercedes-Benz engineers care little if the outside world knows that total swept brake area is a massive 456.5 square inches, or that the 300 D's front suspension geometry is devised to help minimize front-end "nose diving" in hard stops. Their main concern is that the driver is better served by these and myriad other technical flourishes.
Designed, not decorated
Even when fully padded and finished, the interior of the 300 D's welded steel body shell measures almost five feet in width-sufficient to easily accommodate three adults in the rear seating area, for example. Electronic cruise control, AM/FM stereo radio/cassette player, automatic climate control system and electric window lifts-whatever conventional luxury sedans furnish by way of real conveniences, so does this sedan.
Garishness, however, is absent.
The instrument panel is
no entertainment center twinkling with gadgetry but an exercise in ergonomics, meant , to ease the driver's task by Efy simplifying it.
The engineers continuously strive to make driver controls fewer and less awkward to use, and so reduce driving I complexity. Item: the single j steering-column lever that lets you perform nine different driving functions-without taking your hands off the wheel.
Seats are not designed to look luxurious but to so support your body that you feel relaxed, even after an all-day drive.
Interior wood trim is genuine wood from the Mercedes-Benz shops, handworked and fitted and finished. A small thing, but it epitomizes this car's unremitting honesty of character-as its 120 built-in safety features epitomize its seriousness of character.
The luxury of retained value
The 300 D Turbodiesel boasts a final and powerful distinction. As a Mercedes-Benz, it shares a name so coveted by American buyers today that after the first three years, the entire Mercedes-Benz line-not just a few isolated models-has been shown to retain an average of 84 percent of original value.
If retained value is a form of luxury, then perhaps the 300 D Turbodiesel is, after all, a luxury car.
