On January 29, 1886, the Germans Karl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler patented the world's first car. Karl Bentz's first tricycle in 1886 was considered to be the first car in human history. This day was later called "car birth Day" and became the day of the birth of Mercedes-Benz.

Mercedes-Benz celebrates its 135th birthday on January 29, 2021. On this special day, BMW, Audi, ideal, Volvo and other brands have sent congratulations.

This morning, Mercedes-Benz posted a video on its official Weibo telling the history of the Mercedes-Benz brand, with the caption: "135years old, for us, everything is just the beginning."

How can a good friend get a BMW for his birthday? BMW China said in an official post, "Hey old man, I know you're not used to other tastes." Make a wish for your 135th birthday. " This Weibo post from BMW China is very meaningful, with a picture of a driver holding a blender, which is the rhythm of making a cake for Mercedes-Benz. Later, Mercedes-Benz retweeted Weibo in response, "Thank you, old man, birthday wishes don't work out." We lived together when you were 135 years old. " I have to say that the deep friendship between Mercedes-Benz and BMW can be felt between the lines.

Mercedes-Benz and BMW have flirted with each other not once or twice, abandoning Audi many times. This time, netizens couldn't watch it any longer and commented one after another on the official WeChat account, "I don't play with Audi" and "the old man doesn't deserve to have a name."

Of course, Audi can't sit still. Audi then posted Weibo, "have you finished your wish? you can turn on the lights." The next hundred years, Audi pure electric family, continue to illuminate your wishes. " Its Weibo content probably means that after BMW has made the cake and Mercedes-Benz has blown out the candles, it is time for Audi to turn on the lights. Mercedes-Benz also retweeted Weibo saying, "here you are. Make an appointment to have cake for the next hundred years." Some netizens said that Audi is really a lamp factory. There are also netizens who are aggrieved for Audi, is it possible that they don't even have food this time? Have to wait for the next hundred years?

It is worth mentioning that in addition to BMW and Audi, other brands have also come to join the party. Ideal car posted @ Mercedes-Benz, "Happy Birthday!" With ideals, he is the enlightening mentor of human cars. " Mercedes-Benz simply replied, "Thank you for the ideal, Mercedes-Benz forward". I wonder if the ideal car can feel the embarrassment of the scene. In addition, Volvo also wished on Weibo that "the secret of longevity lies in the persistent guardianship of safety and health." Happy 135th birthday, old man, "Mercedes-Benz responded," Shh ~ this is our common secret, thank you, keep safe together! "

Previously, Mercedes-Benz and BMW flirted with each other, and it was not easy for Audi to squeeze in this time. However, in the eyes of netizens, Audi is only the "third party" in charge of turning on the lights, and even eating cake will have to wait a hundred years.

At this important moment, Mercedes-Benz also announced that the new generation of Mercedes-Benz S-Class will be officially launched in the domestic market, with a total of five new models with a price range of 89.98-1.8188 million yuan.

The new Mercedes-Benz S-Class adopts a new family design language, and part of the classic three-frame medium net design on the front face has been retained, but the edges are more rounded and the shield-shaped forward air grille with the largest area makes the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class a little younger. As for similar China net design has appeared in the mid-term revamped E-level, so there is also less novelty.

Compared with the old S-class, the interior layout of the new S-class has undergone earth-shaking changes. The center console uses a suspended 12.8in OLED LCD touch screen and a 12.3in full LCD instrument, and rearranges the dashboard structure, and the driver uses a stand-alone LCD dashboard in front of the driver.

In the power part, the new generation of Mercedes-Benz S-Class is equipped with a 3.0T in-line six-cylinder engine, providing low / medium / high power options.
