For a very long time since the production of the Mercedes 130* began, there was a buzz that Mercedes would launch a large size engine model either with a 1.5 litre or 1.6 litre engine. It was because the Mercedes Benz 130 and 130 H models were performing below expectations because of it’s underpowered engine.
This finally happened in 1936 when the 2-door model (saloon and cabrio variant) rolled out with a 1.7 litre engine having power output of 37.5 hp or 28 Kw. The technical name was W28 and the model, Mercedes 170 H, where the alphabet ‘H’ meant heckmotor (German) or rear-engine.
This comfortable small car could travel at a maximum speed of 110 km/hr and was produced until 1939.
