In 1973, a new diesel powered vehicle that is a variant of W115 chassis was introduced. This vehicle is called the Mercedes 240D that replaces the Mercedes 220D as the most powerful diesel powered vehicle. Mercedes 240D features the use of heated and leather seats, powered sunroof, and a cruise control.

It uses a 4-cylinder with 2.4 liter capacity that produces 65hp. After three years, the use of W115 chassis was dropped and was replaced it to the W123 chassis.

This is more powerful compared to the earlier chassis used. The engine power was beefed for up to 72hp. It was in 1983 when minor changes were done. These include the use of rectangular headlights as well as the optional 5-speed manual transmission engine. With the use of the W123 chassis, the Mercedes 240D has become the most reliable Mercedes model since it is easy to maintain and vigorous. Also, the low power output makes the car lasts longer. Mercedes 240D actually took the fame for often traveling a thousand of kilometers or even longer. Records actually show that it was actually in about 4.6 million kilometers for two engine replacements from the year 1976 to 2004.
