For centuries, Mercedes-Benz has stood out as one of the world’s top automakers for its refined, noble, and powerful vehicles. Mercedes-Benz also has a history of producing striking vehicles with exquisite interior and exterior designs. This year marks the 140th anniversary of the company’s formation, and Mercedes is planning a global celebration to honor this impressive milestone.
Honoring the S-Class
The global birthday celebration for Mercedes-Benz will start with the world premiere of the new S-Class, a large luxury sedan that defines comfort, innovation, and refinement. The S-Class features a cutting-edge cabin that is also quiet and steeped in luxury. The S-Class also leads its class in safety technology and performance with engines that are powerful and efficient.
Mercedes will debut the S-Class at the Mercedes-Benz Museum, which is located in Stuttgart, Germany. The company’s museum will also be the ending point of its global tour. Mercedes will bring the S-Class on a worldwide tour to visit fans and brand enthusiasts. One of the S-Class’s most salient features, the automaker notes, is its “Welcome Home” experience, which is also embodied by other Mercedes vehicles. However, the S-Class is equipped with the most personable and upscale “Welcome Home” package to date, which combines safety, technology, comfort, engineering prowess, and a stunning design.
Following the S-Class
After leaving the museum, the S-Class will embark on a tour spanning six continents. The S-Class will visit 140 places in total to commemorate the company’s anniversary. The sedan’s course will span 31,068 miles, and it will visit locations across North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia. Fans are encouraged to celebrate the S-Class along its route and enjoy local Mercedes celebrations of their own. The S-Class will make an appearance at notable stops on its global trek, including historic Route 66 and major cities around the world such as Shanghai, Buenos Aires, and Sydney. Although the S-Class will be the Mercedes that makes the voyage around the world, the company will also have checkpoints along the global travel route that showcase classic and popular vehicles from the Mercedes lineup. These checkpoints will highlight the company’s commercial fleet in addition to its passenger vehicles.

Fans who live along the company’s planned route are encouraged to participate in the festivities firsthand. However, for those who can’t make it, the company will also broadcast the S-Class’s journey on social media.
