The OM621 diesel engine in the 200D was essentially identical to that of the 190Dc, ut was improved by using a five main bearing crankshaft instead of the original three. Visually, he second series models had the front indicators relocated from the top of the front fenders to below the headlights. At the rear, he tail lights were enlarged and squared off and the chrome trim was revised (including the removal of the chrome trim from the trailing edge of the tailfins).
