1836G

The 1836G is a model of the classic Mercedes-Benz 180 series, a compact executive car produced by Mercedes-Benz during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Introduced in 1968 as part of the W110 chassis platform, the 1836G was positioned as a more affordable yet refined alternative to the higher-end models in the lineup, such as the 220SE.

The 1836G was powered by a 1.8-liter inline-four engine, producing approximately 95 horsepower, which was sufficient for its time but not as powerful as the larger engines found in other Mercedes-Benz models. It featured a four-speed manual transmission as standard, with an optional three-speed automatic available. The car’s design retained the iconic W110 styling, characterized by its sleek, aerodynamic lines, chrome accents, and distinctive grille.

The 1836G was equipped with a range of standard amenities for its class, including power steering, a comfortable interior, and a solid build quality that became synonymous with Mercedes-Benz. It was marketed as a practical yet luxurious vehicle, appealing to professionals and families alike. The model was discontinued in 1972 as Mercedes-Benz transitioned to the newer W114 and W115 chassis platforms, which introduced more modern engineering and design.

Today, the 1836G is considered a classic among Mercedes-Benz enthusiasts, valued for its timeless design and reliability. While not as rare as some other W110 models, it remains a sought-after example of mid-century German engineering and craftsmanship. Its legacy endures as a symbol of Mercedes-Benz’s commitment to blending performance, comfort, and elegance in its vehicles.
