The Mercedes 190E entered production in 1982 and lasted for 11 years before it was discontinued in 1993. It was Mercedes’s first compact class automobile.
One of my all time favorite automotive designers - Bruno Sacco was responsible for the design. Mr Sacco was head of styling at Mercedes from 1975 to 1999 and in addition to the 190 also designed one of the most beautiful convertibles of all time - the stunning R129 Mercedes SL.
Bruno Sacco left behind an incredible legacy and was a huge part of the designs of Mercedes during a time when they really had their brand identity dialed in across the entire lineup.
The total production number for the 190E reached 1,879,629 over its eleven-year lifespan.
This was a magical era of Mercedes-Benz not only in design but in overall build quality and engineering.
Mercedes spent over $800M researching and developing the 190E and admitted themselves that the car was massively over-engineered.

I would love if you started a series where you primarily go through a car's design evolution through each generation and compare them.. like what you did for the first half of this video. That would be cool
Yee
I wrote a comment like this like 3 weeks ago
why would he take away the re-design part? I think it makes this kind of videos much better
@@georgevulpe5600 it's not about taking away redesigning part.. I'm talking about starting a new series along with redesigning. I think you misunderstood me
And judging from the likes im getting, alot of people agree with me
A year ago when I was in university I had a professor who talked about the history of cars. The subject was called history of automotive industry. We loved it. Every week he was bringing an oldtimer in perfect condition and we were allowed to drive with it etc.
This looks way cooler than the current jellybean like design.
Jelly bean 💀
Honestly anything past the W204 is so bubbly I left Mercedes all together :/
The W213 E class is one of the most beautiful German cars of this decade in my opinion. The W206 and W214 tho... Awful.
Aero would like to talk to you
@@houdini6465 fucken spot on mate
This one really works well. I would have liked to see it lowered a few inches on the ground.
Yeah, such an SUV height
The grille is too small for the Avant-garde grille imo. He should've widened the opening and reduced the space the headlights take up on the nose.
LOVE it too bro, and you're right this lowered a couple inches would be badass!
@@boondockbwoy14 No
Man, usually you do a great job, but this is like Lada redesign. 😅
"Lada priora".
@@anaralizadeh7009 Lada çox da bomba maşın deyil
I was looking for someone also disagreeing on the new redesign
true bro

The Mercedes 190E, one of my most favorit cars
I'm sitting on mine in my profile picture (:
me to bro and its my favourite car my dada has em for 25yrs and today it works really well
Mine is “mafia spec’d” and I get stopped 2-3 times a day! People love that car.
Hey first thanks for such good amazing sketches you have done to awaken our eyes in what some ,we thought it couldn't get no better, and some we did think about what if they redesign it, you bring our thoughts to life on paper, we like all that you do, please continue to do more...thanks...
I owned a W201. One of the best sedans of the 80's. I wish I could get another one.
I lived in Germany 86 thru 93 and fell for the 190, today I'd love to have a 190.
personally I like the old style better than the new one.
Finally! Think I asked for the w201 redesign years ago :-)
Omg.. I love this, i'm a big big fan of old mercedes cars especially the 190 and the w140 this is just.. woww i want this car.. Would be awesome if the car companies did this kind of stuff.
Wow. I'd buy this car over any of the current Mercedes ones. You do a great job
190 EVO 2 looks GREAT even NOWADAYS !!
I really like this! It is significantly different whilst still being recognisable. You went to a great effort to change the doors and windows and everything, and it paid off. Looks like an actual 190E-inspired concept car MB would make. Bravo!
It looks like a persian Peugeot to me, I love the channel anyway!
WOW THAT'S JUST... AMAZING !!!
I would love that as a wallpaper:)
That came out absolutely gorgeous. I love the handsome boxiness of it.
I own 1988 w124 230e...... Simply the best car ever made....
This is crazy, what a good video, plenty of hard work and so nice to watch, thanks for this, and what a talent you have!!
VW/Volkswagen has the best shoulderlines ever
Every time i'm amazed with your brushing. Every time.
1 suggestion. I believe it would look better if the front bumber was a little lower to the ground. Keeping in mind that this would be a modern car it would need to look sportier and since the old 190E wasn't that sporty looking,I believe being a little lower would do the trick cuz this way it looks like a mid-SUV
yours "new mercedes" design is far more esthetic and beautiful than the official one! bravo!👏👏
I think that you should’ve kept the amber lights. They’re pretty iconic on the 190E.
A lower front end chunky rear with slightly protruding bumper and broad but subtle wheel arches at the rear would look really good.
The 190 E is a thing of beauty ngl
as soon as you lowered the roof line I was sold
As a fellow c32 AMG owner for 10 years i love the 190e
I would buy that redesign.
Challenge:
You should create a video series that re-imagines iconic cars as if they were created by a different manufacturer.
For instance:
What if the Nissan z a was created by BMW instead?
Or Toyota Supra was created by BMW, just an idea how it would look
@@Gasmaska69 lmao
That would actually be really cool
@@Gasmaska69 yeah, the mk5 Supra by BMW already exists lol
holy crap man.i was always a fan of the hammer but this is a killer design
Agreed I LOVE this I would buy this in a heart beat switch the rims and lower it
You've got amazing skills.the redesign looks beautiful
WoW…. I’ve had a 190E for 15 years now, I love it. You should be designing the new Mercedes Benz cars. 👍🏻🇮🇪
My favourite car design of all time
Love the retro modern designs 👍👍
My first car was a '92 300D, yep diesel. I learned a ton about car repair because something was always broken 😄 I also learned that Mercedes parts are blooming expensive. Still remember it with fondness though.
Congratulations. You made the 180E look like a Cadillac. Snoop Dogg will be proud
The cars design was already ahead of its time back then
Wow just stumbled across your channel. Amazing
Interesting result! Kudos to you, pal.
2008 C Class. One of my favourite.
WOWW!!!! SKETCH MONKEY YOU NAILED THIS ONE BOSS I SO WOULD BUY THIS 😨😳🥰 You deserve a job from an automotive company as a designer either Mercedes or BMW but as you can see the current mess up of BMW's designers that would be the obvious location for you to work your magic my brother! LOVE this 190 E I'm POSITIVE if something like this was made it would sell like hot cakes!!
I would buy this car! I love how “resto-mods” look like they could be electric cars.
Only thing I would do differently is maybe reduce the front intake height more so it’s not 50/50 with the lights; and lower the car or have bigger body kit.
Will be a great succes if Mercedes comes with a car like this as an Electric car.( only another front grille).
Production costs should be low with by putting a simple interior, dash panels and just make sure to put the latest infotainment system into it..
wow! What an awesome design, better than the original AND current models!
If the front fascia was done just a little differently, it would look like a compact Rolls Royce.
You can't improve on perfection. 95 onwards small Mercedes were of lesser build quality and didn't look much different from other types of smaller cars. I have 4 190e s and get many compliments on their looks. Rog
I generally like Mercedes-Benz designs a lot - even the more controversial and ... experimental ones - yet, I want to get this 2021-190 as a coach build now for she looks fantastic. This is an extremely well made redesign in my opinion.
Love it!
I love the fact that the 190E was actually a rival to the E30 M3. Anyways love your vids Sketch Monkey
It was, but a lot of people misunderstand the 190E because of this. They compare it to the M3 (or the normal 3 series it doesn't matter all that much), which was a sport sedan, but the 190E was a compact luxury car. That's still a problem to this day, comparing Mercedeses with BMWs and Audis since they make quite a different cars that just cost and look about the same
@@mafus6116 That does make sense actually. I guess they were compared to one another due to the competitiveness of both companies and the overall audience appreciation of both astonishing vehicles... or maybe people just loved the hype of BMW and Mercedes clashing one another with two amazing cars, regardless of the specs and interior/exterior features.
@@santoku2027 yes i admit... I love both, the E30 and the 190E (I actually own one). They cost about the same, they were trying to impress the same clientele and they also raced each other (i think that the idea that the stock 190 is a sport sedan came more from the sport versions, that were actually sporty than from the rivalrity, that only helped to spread it). So I don't think it doesn't make sense, it does. I just don't like slammed 190s so I'm just trying to convince people that it's a luxury car, not a sports car or a tuner car😂😂
@@mafus6116 Lol🤣 You are a lucky bastard for owning a 190. I barely even own a car
@@santoku2027 yep i am lucky, i got it after my grandpa, but i'm still underage to drive unfortunately so I'm just babying it after it's been used for getting groceries for 30 years😂.
If only this car was on the market as a remastered version.
Can you do a 1980s Ford Mustang Redesign for front view please
I would be so happy to see this in the real world
You're right Sketch the 190E has aged well and still looks great. I bet it's a bargain on the used car market, too. Best news, you killed the redesign tweaking - nicely done man.
It’s not a bargain. These are classics in good shape. I used to want one of these badly
@@rahimi4762 I mean u could get a decent one for like 6-7k€ (at least in Germany)
W124 E500 or E60 AMG are still 🔥
That would be a KILLER! I hope you showed Diamler Benz what you created! SPECTACULAR EYE CATCHER!
Cool bro. You forgot to mention Bruno Saccos best design, the S class coupe, C126. Would be cool to see that design with modern lines.
This is the stuff that got me hooked
well done! I love your design and i'm already a BIG MB fan and lover! specially the S Class series
You're version reminds me of a SEC560 AMG/w140 I love it great job!
It’s incredible ❤️🔥
Brother this is awesome ♥️♥️♥️💯
good work. i say often that the true forms will come back
The cosworths are my favorite wheels on those. Hell a cosworth is amazing all together.
Benz: Well done! Come to our office tommorow!
Fabulous.... Looks like a Merc & Mustang had a baby with godly genetics..
Why does the silhouette look like a Chrysler 300 LOL Nothing wrong with that btw that's literally my favorite car
Awesome! 10/10 would buy!
Glad you did my favorite car
Nicely executed👍
Always loved the w201 Shape beautiful
Can you redesign the 1970 Catalina Pontiac or Bonneville please , sometimes us crazy car guys just imagine what would many of the earlier favorite vehicles would look like in todays time ...
2008 back headlights were my favourite
100% agree with your mentioning brand identity, and redesign "heritage" models. Believe W205 has .24 & e190 had .33, overall form factor paired with advancement. Even the new W206 has a .24
This car has the potential to last as long as the Mercedes G-Class.
It's so beautiful! I would definitely buy that! 😍👍🏼
It looks amazing and i loved it
It looks very similar to the modern G-Wagon but in a sedan body 😍
I believe that the ‘50s SL300 is the most beautiful automobile ever built, I dream about the same car with the same body design but with a modern V8 63 AMG engine, modern wheels, headlights, like mustang did or mini or Honda E!
That black Cosworth in the beginning on video is my car 🙌🙌🙌🙌👍❤️
I would buy that beauty, no doubt! Great work man!!!
This looks like a really high end luxury car.
This made me instantly sub Mercedes needs you fr
Hey, when we talk about BMW and consistency in brand design lets not forget their kidney grill. I think that is a feature unique to BMW which makes them identifiable with even if they may stray from their previous design. Just an opinion.
that's beautiful!!!😍
How to make old classic to Perfect modern design. 😍😍😍👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I am from Germany.
I love the 190 D 2.5 Diesel.
Mercedes after seeing this. Now we need to build this Car
I love you guy. I will just designe my 190d the same way
13:47 Damn ! It's incredible ! I want think that red 500E model ( Taxi movie )
One of my dream car. Sadly this car never officially sell in Indonesia. So the price is insanely high for a 80s'-90's Mercedes. The lowest price for 1989 190E W201 is around IDR 250M (US$ 17K). Compare to the lowest price of W124, it only around IDR 50M (US$ 3,5K)...
Now thats a new car i would buy!
This is why Mercedes must hire you...
Very eloquent and explicit 'tour d'horizon' of the design development of Mercedes cars. I still have a 1986er 190E (designed by the Italian Bruno Sacco shown at 2:28) because of its straight lines instead of 'hunback' boot (trunk). The 'bumper integration' shown atg 0:39 shows the U.S. version which is bigger and not so elegant as the European one, as sit comes too close to the front grille. This also goes for the bumpers of the larger models (280) which had to absorb impacts at a speed on 5 km/h. The 2001 model with the 'flat headlights' are not really an update of the previous model shown in the middle at 4:34. One detail which I find important: the 190 (Serien W-201) is the last Mercedes where the 'star' is incorporated on top of the front grille and not haphardly placed somewhere on the bonne (hood) with no connection to the grille, making it look a bit 'fornlorn'. The pronounced wheel cases of the fenders look like 'hipüs' having accumulated unnessesary 'fat'. The grille of the 2022 model is not really elegant. Black plastic with silver 'nails' with a too big and conspicuous star. I also prefe a 'smiling grille' rather than a 'frowning' one. Also the shape of the Aston Martin grille (adopted by Ford cars) is quite nice. Last remark: a few centimeters more for rear passengers would not have been a bad idea. Now I'm waiting for an analogous version of design comparison of Jaguar models.
This actually looks really sick. I was skeptical at first, once you put the new wheels on, it just popped though!
Wow amazing work your are the best all time ❤❤🌹
I wish Retro fitting could be a factor to cars again not gonna lie
love your channel! What kind of office chair is that? I love how it looks like a luxury car seat!!!!!
I was having a dream a few months back in early 2020 and in that dream mercedes advertising the hashtag #BringBackTheClassics on their special edition C, E and S Klasse based on w123 and w124 and this is what depicted very very close to my dream with minor differences just like how nissan 400z body line looks almost identical to 240/280z. It's the same with this, it has more curvy body line than the w124 but has all the modern tech in it. Rims are different, headlight had a close design to the original but with modern touches, more modernize grills and very sleek bodykit. It giving me a chill in the spine when i found out about this video just now.
you really are a good designer
I'm a new subscriber and instant fan after watching your design of the E190. I would love to see you do the 45 series Toyota Land Cruiser pick up!
I love the boxy design
