1996 Mercedes-Benz S 300 Turbodiesel W140 diesel S-class

In addition to these detail improvements described above, in June 1996 a model change in the S-Class came into effect, with the S 350 Turbodiesel being replaced by the S 300 Turbodiesel. In contrast to its predecessor, the new diesel model had a turbocharged engine with four valves per cylinder and charge air cooling. Engine output was 27 hp higher, at 177 hp; torque was increased by 20 Newton metres and was available over a broad range of engine speeds; exhaust emissions and fuel consumption were much lower as a result of optimised combustion. Electronically controlled five-speed automatic transmission came as standard in the S 300 Turbodiesel.
