OEM Mercedes-Benz 560 SEC Parts And Accessories

Marketed alongside its sedan counterpart, the 560 SEL, the Mercedes-Benz 560 SEC is an S-Class coupe that debuted in 1985. Driving the 560 SEC, there’s no doubt as to its identity of being S-Class. Steering is easy, the ride is sporty, and the styling is swanky. Both the 560 SEC and 560 SEL were produced under the second generation of the S-Class, which is arguably the most successful S-Class generation of all-time.

Production of the 560 SEC ended with the 1991 model year. Its engine became more modest compared to earlier releases, as a 295-hp option was dropped in favor of a 5.6-liter V8 that makes 238 hp and 287 pound-feet of torque. The 560 SEC is standard as rear-wheel drive and comes with a four-speed automatic transmission. It also features the latest driving technologies of its time, such as acceleration slip regulation (ASR) that prevents wheel spin.

How Many Miles Per Gallon Does a 560 SEC Get?

The 1991 Mercedes-benz SEC is rated at 12 mpg in the city and 16 mpg on the highway, which places its driving range between 285 to 380 miles. Its thirsty engine demands a sizable fuel tank of 23.8 gallons, which shouldn’t come as a surprise for the S-Class driver.

Life Expectancy of a Mercedes-Benz 560 SEC Suspension

The W126 series, which the 560 SEC is a part of, is known for using Mercedes-Benz’s hydropneumatic suspension system. The suspension, as a whole, can last upwards of 100,000 miles. However, shock absorbers and struts can last 50,000 miles or less, especially if you frequently drive over speed bumps or potholes.
