"Introduced to the world first in 1984, it was only in 1995 that India was introduced to the W124 series in form of the E220 petrol and E250D diesel models when Tata Motors and Mercedes-Benz started building and selling them under a joint venture.
The W124 never took off in India because it was launched just before it was replaced in Europe by the newer W210. This made the W124 a generation old and instantly outdated, which didn’t go down well with its snooty customers who wanted the latest. It is for this reason that Mercedes-Benz was forced to replace the W124 with the W210 a mere three years after production began in India. In a short production run that ended in 1998, just 2,465 cars were sold in the Indian market. In contrast, the W124 proved to be one of the most successful models in Merc’s history. In fact so good was the car that Mercedes sold its platform to Ssangyong and the car is still built and sold in Korea under licence as the ‘Ssangyong President’. Engine 4-cylinder, in-line 2199cc"
Sorry...didnt mean still being made but there are some new condition "unused" ones around in India. A relative just purchased one from a dealer in Mumbai who sold a few with only 5 miles on the clock. They came in White (popular colour in India) and also Blue/Black Metallic (as I had one).
Im not sure how old that statement is from AUTOCAR INDIA but im guessing by now they might have stopped making them in Korea too.
