Mercedes-Benz CLA Concept Teased

By | |

  • 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
