Mercedes-Benz CLA Concept Teased

• Since the invention of the automobile by Carl Benz 137 years ago, Mercedes‑Benz has defined class with the most desirable cars in the world.
• With a pioneering spirit and ambition for the extraordinary, the brand with the three-pointed star continues to shape groundbreaking technologies, unmistakable designs and safe comfort to this day.
• Visionary thinking and passion are the driving forces behind the continuous innovative development of the automobile by Mercedes‑Benz.
• The new campaign “Defining Class since 1886” visualizes the brand’s heritage by bridging the gap between history and the future via iconic models from different eras.
• The forward-looking highlight is the new Concept CLA Class, which represents the innovative future electric class and gateway into the Mercedes‑Benz world.
• The campaign creatively reinterprets the brand’s typical term “class” with a wink. “Class” is literally represented by a school class with timeless stereotypical characters such as the class favorite, nerd, prom queen, cool guy and athlete.
• The imagery is kept in the style of traditional class photos in front of a clean background and shows the school class during a class photo production.
• You walk through a hall and discover groundbreaking Mercedes‑Benz models:
  • The 300 SL Gullwing as an aesthetic style icon from 1954
  • The G‑Class as an unmistakable off-road legend from 1979
  • The 1981 S‑Class, the first serial production vehicle with an airbag
  • The EQS, as the first electric model in the luxury class of 2021 and a newcomer
  • The new Concept CLA Class as a signpost to the future electric class of Mercedes‑Benz
