German automaker Mercedes-Benz is promoting a limited-run release.
Three hundred new models dubbed the "G-Class Stronger Than Diamonds Edition" have been decked out with gemstone-encrusted design updates for Valentine’s Day. Unveiled this week, the drop is backed by a 360-degree global marketing effort and features a campaign film, currently running on Mercedes-Benz's social media channels.
Love is in the air
With digital content, the brand makes the case for its luxe deliveries as gifts apt for a significant other.
The 2024 Mercedes-Benz G 550 units are on display in a minute-long spot that trades jewelry for car keys and salespeople for specialists in lab coats. Access to the vehicle's finishings is granted within the film's first few seconds.
Mercedes-Benz presents "A love that lasts forever. Stronger than diamonds," a new campaign
Granting it a metallic pink exterior sheen, the automobile comes in the shade Rosewood Grey Magno, a color created exclusively for the launches by Manufaktur, Mercedes-Benz's custom design arm.
The inside reflects the outer shell: black nappa leather with rosé contrast stitching complements the cabin. Among other bespoke details are the SUV's door locking pins, which have been set with four 0.25-karat diamonds, its handles embossed with gem-shaped logos.
Per a statement, each of the car's diamonds is certified to originate from ethically, socially and ecologically responsible sources. Mercedes-Benz is providing owners with documentation from the Responsible Jewelry Council as assurance.
Purchasing one of the now available 2024 Mercedes-Benz G 550s will cost 175,00o euros, or around $188,400 based on current exchange rates.
A staple among its manufacturer's fleet, the G-Class is one of several to receive a promotional push recently. The brand launched its Defining Class campaign earlier this year (see story).
