Episode 6 Mercedes-Benz World Tour | Backstage at the GLS & GLE World Premiere

The Mercedes-Benz journey heads west. We're at the Tuscaloosa plant for the world premiere of the all-new GLS and GLE, and they're joining our S-Class on the road. From Texas to the Circuit of the Americas, through Arizona and the Grand Canyon—we're seeing what these cars can handle.   At the edge of the Grand Canyon, Elly Wong joins our host Benjamin Ortega for the final push to California. We meet the Hot Wheels team in Los Angeles, celebrate with Mercedes-Benz Classic in Long Beach, and connect with the car culture at Race Service in LA.   Along the way, we discover that this trip isn't just about the cars. It's about the communities, the collectors, the racers, and the dreamers who've kept Mercedes-Benz alive for 140 years - and for all the years still to come.   This is Episode 6 of our 140-year Mercedes-Benz journey. The North American leg concludes.

Join host Sarah Harman and Mercedes‑Benz CEO Ola Källenius in Tuscaloosa, Alabama – the home of Mercedes‑Benz SUVs and a defining chapter in his personal journey. Together, they revisit Ola’s connection to Tuscaloosa, sharing personal memories along the way. The journey takes them from a drive on the local off‑road track to a truly Tuscaloosa moment with U.S. football legend Nick Saban, before wrapping up the day the Alabama way – with a proper barbecue. At the heart of the visit: the new Mercedes‑Benz GLS, proving why it’s the S‑Class among SUVs, with spacious comfort, advanced technology, and unmistakable versatility. *Optional equipment depending on the individual configuration. ►Subscribe to the channel to get notified about new exciting videos here: https://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=MercedesBenzTV ► Experience the world of Mercedes-Benz: http://benz.me/international ► More interesting playlists: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEFD42CB1063ADFBD https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0ORtgsuktfnbgrXWg0_-MfmFHGl435_B https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0ORtgsuktfnzmEE-9GlLnfMplo4fmcTH ►Mercedes-Benz on Social Media: https://facebook.com/MercedesBenz https://x.com/MercedesBenz https://instagram.com/mercedesbenz https://www.linkedin.com/company/mercedes-benz_ag/ https://www.tiktok.com/@mercedesbenz
