The Brand Experience

It is not solely a logo as the three-pointed star. It is a promise. A vow that whatever is sitting under it has been planned with an obsession into the detail that is close to the unrealistic, constructed with such material which has been selected not out of cost-reduction but out of longevity, and made so that the individual behind the steering wheel is certain that the world has been created just to suit him. In more than a century of motor cars, that is what motor cars promise, whether it is the legendary Gullwing of the 1950s or the silent hyperscreen-equipped EQS of the current time.

Mercedes-Benz never follows a trend. It sets them. The crumple zone, the anti-lock braking system, the airbag, the electronic stability programme, all those things developed by Mercedes-Benz engineers who considered that a luxury car must not only pamper its occupants but also look after them as serious car manufacturers do. Safety, sophistication are considered alike.
