The Mercedes 190E Hatchback That Never Was: The Bizarre Story Of The 190E City
Today, Mercedes-Benz has a handful of compact vehicles in their lineup. The most famous, the A-Class, has been around since 1997, and in the USA since 2018. But did you know there was almost a Mercedes compact hatchback way before the A-Class? Given their history of making mainly large executive cars, most people didn’t feel that Mercedes had any right producing a compact sedan, let alone a hatchback. For them, even the regular 190E was new territory. And for that very reason, it wasn’t Mercedes who did it, but rather a German tuning company by the name of Schulz Tuning.
