The '''Mercedes-Benz W114''' and '''W115''' are the internal designations [[Mercedes-Benz]] used for a generation of front-engine, rear-drive, five-passenger [[Sedan (car)|sedans]] and [[coupé]]s introduced in 1968, with [[three-box styling]] by [[Paul Bracq]] &mdash; succeeding the [[Mercedes-Benz W110|W110]] models introduced in 1961; and manufactured until model year 1976, when the [[Mercedes-Benz W123|W123]] was released.<ref name="ClassicTrader">{{cite web |work=Classic Trader |url=https://www.classic-trader.com/uk/cars/search/mercedes-benz/8 |title=Mercedes-Benz /8 Classic Cars for Sale}}</ref>

W114/W115s were distinguished in the marketplace by nameplates relating to their engine size. W114 models featured six-cylinder engines and were marketed as the ''230'', ''250'', and ''280''. W115 models featured four-cylinder engines and were marketed as the ''200'', ''220'', ''230'', and ''240'', with diesel models carrying a ''D'' designation, as distinct from gasoline/petrol models.<ref name=MBwiki/>

When Mercedes introduced the W114/115 in 1968, they marketed sedans in two size classes (W114/W115 and S-Class) and marketed the W114/115 range as ''New Generation Models'',{{sfn|Taylor|1985}} ultimately the only model of the new generation. Mercedes used a <nowiki>'</nowiki>'''''/8'''''<nowiki>'</nowiki> on the W114/115 ID plates, indicating their 1968 launch year, giving rise to their <nowiki>'</nowiki>'''''/8'''''<nowiki>'</nowiki> or 'slash eight' nicknames &mdash; and the German nickname ''Strich Acht'', loosely translated into English as ''stroke eight''.

==History==
[[File:Mercedes-Benz W115 front 20080621.jpg|thumb|left|Pre-facelift Mercedes-Benz W115]]
The W114/W115 models were the first post-war Mercedes-Benz production car to use a newly engineered suspension, not derived from preceding models. The new format of semi-trailing rear arms and ball-joint front end first displayed in the W114/W115 would be used in all new Mercedes passenger car models until the development of the multi-link rear suspensions of the 1980s. The [[Mercedes-Benz W108|W108/109]] [[Mercedes-Benz S-Class|S-Class]] of the 280S/8, 280SE/8 and 300SEL/8 (and [[Mercedes-Benz W113|W113]] 230SL, 250SL and 280SL "Pagoda") would be the last of the low-pivot swing axle and king pin/double wishbone front ends. The next S-Class, the [[Mercedes-Benz W116|W116]], had the same engineering as the W114/115, but using a larger, separate platform.

The Mercedes-Benz W114/W115 was the mid-sized [[Sedan (car)|saloon]] model for Mercedes, positioned below the S-Class. Mercedes also launched its first 5-cylinder diesel engine [[OM617]] in this chassis. It followed heavily in the direction set by the W108/109 S-class, which was launched in 1965 and heralded the new design idiom. The car was designed by French auto designer [[Paul Bracq]] who was chief designer at Mercedes-Benz for models from 1957 to 1967, a period that included models such as the Grosser [[Mercedes-Benz 600]]. Bracq was also responsible for BMW designs (1970–74) and Peugeot designs (1974–96).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.idcenter.co.jp/en/bracq/paul.htm |title=Here's the greatest car painter, Paul Bracq! |website=IDcenter.co.jp |access-date=9 May 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120429035005/http://www.idcenter.co.jp/en/bracq/paul.htm |archive-date=29 April 2012 }}</ref>

Mercedes introduced a [[coupé]] variant of the W114 in 1969, featuring a longer boot lid and available with either a 2.5 or 2.8 litre six-cylinder engine. While a classic and understated design these generally cost less than the W113-based [[Mercedes-Benz W113#280 SL (1967–1971)|280 SL]] model that ran until 1971, and its successor, the 3.5 or 4.5 litre V8 [[Mercedes-Benz R107|Mercedes SL R107/C107]] (1971–1989) roadster and coupé.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.uniquecarsandparts.com.au/price_guide_mercedes_benz.htm |title=Mercedes Benz Valuation and Pricing Guide |website=Uniquecarsandparts.com.au |access-date=1 October 2010}}</ref> While a 'hard-top' unlike the fully convertible SL, the pillarless design allowed all the windows to be lowered completely for open air motoring. Only 67,048 coupés were manufactured from 1969 to 1976 (vs. 1,852,008 saloons). Of these 24,669 were 280C and 280CE (top of the range), and 42,379 were the lesser 250C and 250CE (A Mercedes-Benz 220D pickup on the W115 chassis was produced briefly in Argentina in the 1970s.)<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.auto-historia.com.ar/Historias/Mercedes_Benz.htm |title=Mercedes Benz Argentina |website=Auto-historia.com.ar |language=es |access-date=29 October 2017 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170202001342/http://www.auto-historia.com.ar/Historias/Mercedes_Benz.htm |archive-date=2 February 2017}}</ref>
[[File:Mercedes Benz 250 at Versailles.jpg|thumb|left|Mercedes-Benz 250 (W114) saloon: This post-facelift version is distinguished by a lower and wider radiator grill and differing treatment below the single front bumper/fender.]]
The W114 received a [[Facelift (automotive)|facelift]] in 1973 – with a lower bonnet-line, lower and broader grill,<ref name="ClassicTrader"/> a single front bumper to replace the double bumpers, lower placement of the headlamps, [[Pillar (car)|A-pillar]] treatment for keeping the side windows clear, removal of the quarter-windows in the front doors, ribbed tail lights to minimize occlusion of the tail lights with road dirt, and larger side mirrors. The interior received inertia reel belts and a new padded steering wheel with a four-hole design.

The Mercedes-Benz W115 is known to be a very durable car. In 2004 Greek taxi driver Gregorios Sachinidis donated his 1976 Mercedes-Benz 240D to the Mercedes-Benz Museum Collection with {{convert|4.6|e6km|abbr=off}} on the odometer,<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.faz.net/aktuell/gesellschaft/mercedes-benz-museum-das-sagenhafte-taxi-des-gregorios-sachinidis-1178156.html |title=Das sagenhafte Taxi des Gregorios Sachinidis |last=Wermelskirchen |first=Axel |date=24 September 2004 |newspaper=[[Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung]] |language=de |access-date=5 June 2019}}</ref> which is recognised as the Mercedes-Benz with the highest recorded mileage known to date.

==Innovations==
[[File:Mercedes 220 D 1969.jpg|thumb|Mercedes Benz W115 220 D 1969]]

Like its larger variant, this car also boasted advanced technological innovations. 1969 saw the introduction of the [[Robert Bosch GmbH|Bosch]] D-Jetronic fully electronic fuel injection system into the 250CE. This was the first ever production Mercedes-Benz to use this system.

Other innovations in the W114/W115 models include a center console (a first in a Mercedes saloon), and ribbed taillights in 1974, designed to better repel dirt and debris.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Torchinsky |first=Jason |date=2022-10-07 |title=Today's Taillights: Those Wonderful Ribbed Mercedes-Benz Taillights |url=https://www.theautopian.com/todays-taillights-those-wonderful-ribbed-mercedes-benz-taillights/ |access-date=2024-03-24 |website=The Autopian |language=en-US}}</ref> All coupé models used the 6-cylinder engine (and thus were W114s) and were designated with a "C" in the model name.

==North America==
[[File:Mercedes-Benz 220D.JPG|thumb|1973 Mercedes-Benz W115 220 D with US-spec headlights and corresponding side markers and reflectors]]
[[File:1975 MB 280 US front.jpg|thumb|1975 Mercedes-Benz W114 280, with US-spec bumpers and sealed-beam headlights]]
In 1968, Diesel-engined options were added to the W114/W115 line, introduced in North America as the 220D, 240D and 300D. These models from the start had unique headlights, utilizing a sealed-beam lamp instead of the H4 type used in the European models. Bumpers changed frequently and there were at least three different bumpers used over the production run for the North American market. The 1974 model year brought significantly larger bumpers due to new DOT requirements.

North American 220Ds and 240Ds were offered with a 4-speed manual or 4-speed automatic, whereas all 5-cylinder 300D models were equipped with the 4-speed automatic without a manual option.
