Mercedes W110 specs and engine table
Version names below are exactly as in the database. Two 2.0 MT rows in 2 generation are split by power: 55 hp Diesel and 95 hp Gasoline. The 2.0 MT Diesel in 1 generation is the same 55 hp figure as the later Diesel 2.0 MT.

Mercedes W110 diesel engine (2.0 MT)
The Mercedes W110 diesel in this catalogue is always named 2.0 MT. In 2 generation, 2.0 MT Diesel is 55 hp (40 kW) from 2000 cc, 4 Inline cylinders, 2 valves per cylinder, engine Front, longitudinal. Torque is not measured. Fuel-system type is not measured. Boost is not measured. Gearbox is Manual, 4 gears, drive RWD. Tank 65 litres. Front brakes Disc, rear Drum.
In 1 generation, 2.0 MT Diesel is also 55 hp (40 kW) from 2000 cc, 4 Inline, engine Front, longitudinal, fuel Diesel. Torque, valves per cylinder, boost, and fuel system are not measured. Gearbox Manual, 4 gears, RWD. Tank not measured. Front and rear brakes Drum.
Power of the two Diesel 2.0 MT versions is the same: 55 hp and 40 kW. Displacement is the same: 2000 cc. Cylinder count is the same: 4. Layout is the same: Inline. Drive and gearbox are the same: RWD, Manual, 4. The measured hardware change between generations on this Diesel 2.0 MT is brakes: Drum / Drum in 1 generation, Disc / Drum in 2 generation. Tank is measured only in 2 generation (65 litres).
Mercedes W110 Gasoline engines (1.9 MT, 2.0 MT, 2.3 MT)
1 generation 1.9 MT is Gasoline, 80 hp (59 kW), 1897 cc, 4 Inline, Carburetor, Front, longitudinal, Manual 4, RWD. Valves per cylinder not measured. Boost not measured. Torque not measured.
2 generation 2.0 MT Gasoline is 95 hp (70 kW), 2000 cc, 4 Inline, 2 valves per cylinder, boost No, Carburetor, Front, longitudinal, Manual 4, RWD. Versus 1 generation 1.9 MT, that is +15 hp (95 − 80) and +103 cc (2000 − 1897). Kilowatts: 70 − 59 = 11 kW. Both are 4 Inline Gasoline with Carburetor.
2 generation 2.3 MT is Gasoline, 120 hp (88 kW), 2295 cc, 6 Inline, 2 valves per cylinder, boost No, Carburetor, Front, longitudinal, Manual 4, RWD. Versus the 2 generation 2.0 MT Gasoline 95 hp: +25 hp (120 − 95), +18 kW (88 − 70), +295 cc (2295 − 2000), and cylinder count 6 versus 4. Versus the Diesel 2.0 MT 55 hp in the same generation: +65 hp (120 − 55) and +48 kW (88 − 40).
No version in the data lists a measured torque (Nm) figure.
Mercedes W110 performance, mpg, and economy
0–100, top speed, city consumption, highway consumption, mixed consumption, CO2, and eco class are not measured on every version: 2 generation 2.0 MT (55 hp), 2 generation 2.0 MT (95 hp), 2 generation 2.3 MT, 1 generation 1.9 MT, and 1 generation 2.0 MT.
Because those figures are not measured, this catalogue cannot rank the five versions by acceleration, top speed, or mpg. The only ranked quantities in the data are power, displacement, cylinder count, and (where present) tank volume.
Mercedes W110 dimensions, weight, and tank
Kerb weight is not measured on all five versions. Gross weight is not measured on all five versions. Ground clearance is not measured on all five versions. Wheel sizes are not measured on all five versions. Rear suspension is not measured on all five versions.
Tank:
- 2 generation 2.0 MT (55 hp Diesel): 65 litres
- 2 generation 2.0 MT (95 hp Gasoline): 65 litres
- 2 generation 2.3 MT: 65 litres
- 1 generation 1.9 MT: not measured
- 1 generation 2.0 MT: not measured
Where tank is measured, it does not differ between the three 2 generation versions: 65 litres on Diesel 2.0 MT, Gasoline 2.0 MT, and 2.3 MT.
Front suspension is Independent, spring on all five versions. Front brakes: Drum on both 1 generation versions; Disc on all three 2 generation versions. Rear brakes: Drum on all five versions.
Which Mercedes W110 version to choose
All five versions share Manual, 4 gears, RWD, Front, longitudinal engine placement, Sedan body, and Independent, spring front suspension. Choice in this dataset is therefore engine, power, generation brakes, and whether tank is measured.
Lowest measured power: 2.0 MT Diesel, 55 hp (40 kW), 2000 cc, 4 Inline, in both 1 generation and 2 generation. The two Diesel 2.0 MT versions match on hp, kW, displacement, cylinder count, layout, gearbox, and drive. Prefer 2 generation 2.0 MT (55 hp) if the measured Disc front brakes and 65-litre tank matter; prefer 1 generation 2.0 MT only if the earlier years (1961-01-01 – 1965-12-31) and Drum / Drum brakes are the requirement. Fuel on 1 generation 2.0 MT is listed as Diesel; fuel grade on 2 generation 2.0 MT (55 hp) is not measured, while engine type is Diesel.
Mid Gasoline, first generation: 1.9 MT, 80 hp (59 kW), 1897 cc, 4 Inline, Carburetor. That is +25 hp versus Diesel 2.0 MT (80 − 55) and −15 hp versus 2 generation 2.0 MT Gasoline (80 − 95). Displacement is the smallest measured: 1897 cc, 103 cc under the 2000 cc fours and 398 cc under 2.3 MT (2295 − 1897). Tank not measured. Brakes Drum / Drum.
Mid Gasoline, second generation: 2.0 MT (95 hp), 70 kW, 2000 cc, 4 Inline, 2 valves per cylinder, boost No, Carburetor, tank 65, front brakes Disc. Versus 1 generation 1.9 MT: +15 hp, +11 kW, +103 cc. Versus same-generation Diesel 2.0 MT: +40 hp (95 − 55) and +30 kW (70 − 40) at the same 2000 cc and the same 4 Inline layout.
Highest measured power: 2.3 MT, 120 hp (88 kW), 2295 cc, 6 Inline, 2 valves per cylinder, boost No, Carburetor, tank 65, Disc / Drum. It is the only 6-cylinder version in the data. Versus 2 generation 2.0 MT Gasoline: +25 hp, +18 kW, +295 cc, +2 cylinders. Versus Diesel 2.0 MT: +65 hp, +48 kW. Versus 1 generation 1.9 MT: +40 hp (120 − 80), +29 kW (88 − 59), +398 cc.
Same name, different power: do not treat every 2.0 MT as one car. 2 generation has two 2.0 MT rows: Diesel 55 hp (40 kW) and Gasoline 95 hp (70 kW) — a 40 hp / 30 kW gap at identical 2000 cc, 4 Inline, Manual 4, RWD, and 65-litre tank. 1 generation 2.0 MT is the Diesel 55 hp row, not the Gasoline 95 hp row.
Torque, 0–100, top speed, mpg, kerb weight, gross weight, ground clearance, and wheel size are not measured on every version, so they cannot decide the choice. Chassis-code searches for Mercedes W110 interior, engine bay, service manual, engine swap, and W110 vs W111 are outside this dataset: interior, bay photos, manuals, swaps, and other chassis codes are not measured here.
