Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.6. My question is What do the numbers 2.6 refer to? 190E? I thought the 190 meant 1.9Ltr?

Question

What about the "E"? the 2.6? Whats the fuel consumption in kilometres/litre? Talking of a tiny MB year of manuf 1990.

Answer 1

The 201 chassis ( 190E model designation ) was one of the very few Benz models to buck their trend of signifying the engine displacement in the model designation.  They were all either a 190E ( to indicate a gasoline model ) or a 190D ( diesel engine ) and then they had the displacement following the model.  So a 2.3 was the 4-cylinder gasoline engine, the 2.3-16 was the 4 cylinder with a 16 valve head, the 2.6 was the 6-cylinder, etc.

The fuel consumption varies with the engine and transmission combination in the 190.

Answer 2

190E? It's the MB body model. While 2.6L means the engine displacement (2,600cc). No more no less!

Answer 3

those car are running fast and reliable  with 6 inline 2.6, but performance wise better to get one of eht Evolutions with 16 valve and manual transmission.

Choice of Engines was huge
