This article will answer the following questions: What is the Mercedes Benz Slogan? What are some of the slogans used by Mercedes in the past? Where are Mercedes Benz cars made? And lastly, we find out how Mercedes Benz was established.

What is the Mercedes Benz slogan?

The slogan used by the luxury car manufacturing Brand, the Mercedes Benz is Best or Nothing. It was launched in 2010 when Mercedes Benz revamped their model series and needed a new slogan that would represent perfection, fascination and responsibility.

The old slogan unlike any other was changed to Best or thing and Mercedes Benz delivered the best to the customers. Even in the entry-level models like the A, B and CLA class, ECO engine start-stop was standard equipment. There is no compromise in the built quality and the safety of the vehicle.

The main ideas behind the new slogans are as follows:

• Innovation

Mercedes-Benz is the leading manufacturer in the luxury car segment and produces the most advanced car on the road today. Ever since the company started manufacturing automobiles, it has developed many new innovative features in the cars like the use of automotive safety glass, digital drive authorization systems etc. 

Mercedes Benz also explored various types of drivetrains like hydrogen fuel cells, fully electric cars and innovative exhaust gas after treatments like the Bluetech and selective catalytic reduction systems. Karl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler are regarded as the most important pioneer contributors to the gasoline engine automobile and even today the Company continues to do so.

• Performance

Mercedes Benz cars strike the perfect balance between performance and comfort. Driving a Mercedes is not like driving a spec sheet, the cars are very dynamic and engaging to drive. Adaptive suspension systems, active engine mounts, Airmatic, active body control are some of the most advanced technologies present on the Mercedes car which gives it that dynamic handling characteristic.

The AMG which is the high-performance division of Mercedes Benz also develops more aggressive and track-oriented versions of the standard Mercedes Benz cars so the customers can enjoy high performance, especially on the race tracks

• Design

Each Mercedes Benz car is designed with utmost attention to detail, New model is first sculpted in clay and body panels are installed on a full-size scale model to better understand how the light would reflect in the real world. The interior design and ergonomics are in sync with the exterior styling of the model and continue the design language inside the vehicle.

Mercedes Benz introduces new generation models every 7 years with facelift models launched midway into the product life. This is done to stay updated with the time and offer the latest design and technology to the customers.

• Safety

Mercedes Benz cars are among the safest cars on the roads, various active and passive safety systems give an additional reflex to the vehicle to avoid or prepare the vehicle for collision. The S class was the first car to have a cushion on the driver steering wheel which was later replaced by an airbag.

Mercedes-Benz continues each year to create technology that helps protect not only the occupants but also pedestrians on the roads. Pedestrian protection systems like the active bonnet soften the impact on the pedestrians by lifting the engine hood.

• Environment

Mercedes Benz understands the impact of automobiles on the environment and therefore continues to bring eco-friendly technologies in mass-produced vehicles. Exhaust gas after treatments reduce the overall carbon emission of the car and the use of hybrid high voltage technology allows for a smaller engine which keeps the carbon consumption to a minimum.

Mercedes Benz also stops using refrigerants with high GWP (global warming potential) in the air conditioning system and mainly uses the R744, R1234yf.
