Mercedes-Benz has announced the India leg of its global “140 Years. 140 Places.” celebration, with three S-Class luxury sedans set to travel across some of the country’s most iconic destinations.
The initiative celebrates 140 years since Carl Benz patented the world’s first automobile in 1886 and highlights Mercedes-Benz’s legacy of innovation, luxury and engineering excellence.
The India journey will begin in July.
The global drive has already covered an impressive distance before arriving in India.
Journey highlights:
Named Gottlieb, Carl and Bertha, the three flagship luxury sedans are travelling to 140 destinations across the world as part of the anniversary celebrations.
For the India leg, Mercedes-Benz has planned routes that showcase the country’s culture, architecture, landscapes and heritage.
The three S-Class sedans will travel through destinations including:
One section of the drive will even take the S-Class across Umling La, currently the world’s highest motorable road.
The journey will also briefly cross into Bhutan before returning to India.
Mercedes-Benz says the campaign is designed to celebrate the people, places and stories that have shaped mobility over the last 140 years.
The S-Class has been chosen as the flagship model for the drive, reflecting the brand’s focus on innovation, comfort, luxury and technology.
According to Mercedes-Benz India, the journey will document India’s craftsmanship, traditions, landscapes and rapid progress while highlighting the capabilities of its flagship luxury limousine.

Rather than being a product launch, the “140 Years. 140 Places.” drive is a celebration of Mercedes-Benz’s history and global journey. By choosing the S-Class to explore India’s diverse landscapes, from the Himalayas to historic cities and modern metros, the brand is using its flagship limousine to tell a story that goes beyond cars and focuses on innovation, heritage and progress.
