The M102 engine family is a inline-four gasoline automobile engine family built by Mercedes-Benz in the 1980s and early 1990s. It is a relatively oversquare engine with a large bore and short stroke compared to the M115 engine which was used during the same timeframe.

Used in the W201 190E 1.8 from 1990 onwards (badged as 180E in Australia from 1991 to 1993). Cubic capacity: 1,797 cc (1.8 L). Power output: 80 kW (109 PS; 107 bhp). Torque: 154 N⋅m (114 lb⋅ft)

Applications:

• 1990–1993 W201 180E and 190E 1.8

The M102.920 was a 2.0 L engine with an bore and stroke 89 mm × 80.25 mm (3.50 in × 3.16 in). Equipped with carburetor 175 CDT. Cubic capacity: 1,997 cc (2.0 L). Power output: 80 kW (109 PS; 107 bhp). Swedish and Swiss market models developed 98 PS (72 kW) at 5000 rpm thanks to their stricter emissions regulations.^[1]

Applications:

• 1980–1986 W123 200
• 1980–1986 W123 200T

Similar to M102.920, but less power due to a different camshaft and different carburetor. Power Output: 66 kW (90 PS; 89 bhp)

Applications:

• 1983–1985 W201 190 (201.022)

An update of the M102.920 engine for use in the W124 chassis, Cubic capacity: 1,997 cc (2.0 L). Power output: 80 kW (109 PS; 107 bhp). During 1989 the bore was shrunk by 0.05 mm (0.0020 in), bringing the displacement down to 1996 cc. This change was applied across the board of all 2.0 and 2.3-litre M102 engines as part of running updates carried out between 1988 and 1990.

Applications:
