The Mercedes-Benz 380 SE belongs to the W126 generation, a model range that defined the S-Class during the late 1970s and 1980s. This series is widely known for its balance between comfort, durability, and understated elegance. The V8-powered variants were appreciated for their smooth power delivery and relaxed driving character, making them popular with both private owners and professional users. The W126 is often regarded as one of the most successful luxury sedans of its era, combining advanced safety features for its time with long-distance comfort and solid engineering. Today, these models are valued as usable classics that still offer a refined driving experience.
