- The W123 (entry mercedes-benz-w123) and earlier mid-range Mercedes-Benz cars (W114/W115, W110, W120) are described by the source as predecessors of the E-Class, but it numbers its generations from the W124; they are not counted as E-Class generations here.
- Each entry covers a whole generation, including estate, coupe and cabriolet variants and facelifts; these are not separate entries.
