Mercedes-Benz (Thailand) continues to strengthen its relationship with Thai customers, focusing on meaningful marketing by inviting those with a Passion for Benz to be part of the “Friend with Benz” community and share their inspiration for the brand.

Mr. Martin Schwenk, CEO and Managing Director of Mercedes-Benz (Thailand) Ltd., said, “Mercedes-Benz is a luxury car brand that has been with Thai people for a long time. Building relationships and reinforcing the connection between the brand and customers is crucial and sets us apart from other players in the market. Looking back at the 2024 Motor Show, we invited everyone to find the answer behind those who share the same name as the brand through an advertisement film.”
“The Meaning of Benz” resonated deeply with Thai people, allowing them to connect with the brand. This year, we aim to take the next step by building the Mercedes-Benz community and bringing us closer together by inviting those with a Passion for Benz to be “Friends with Benz.” In addition to providing everyone the chance to meet new friends who share the same passion, visitors to the Mercedes-Benz booth can also get to know all of our models on display, covering every segment. Particularly, the 3 new members of the Mercedes-AMG family, which we unveiled earlier this month, will also be showcased.
Additionally, we would like to introduce everyone to the MANUFAKTUR Exclusive program, which will set a new benchmark for luxury car customization in Thailand under the concept of “MADE TO MEASURE.” This program is available for customers in the Top-End Luxury segment, covering models from the S-Class to the flagship lineup of Mercedes-AMG and Mercedes-Maybach.
This includes the original MANUFAKTUR model, the G-Class, where the program allows customers to customize their vehicles without limits. Customers can choose from up to 50 additional exterior colors and more than 20 interior color options, along with the MANUFAKTUR optional extra package that lets you customize both the interior and exterior of the vehicle to your liking. Speaking about the MANUFAKTUR program for the G-Class, you can design your car in up to 1 million different ways, making every G-Class on the road unique and a clear reflection of its owner’s personality.”
To reinforce the concept of the “Friend with Benz” campaign, which invites everyone to be part of the same community with Mercedes-Benz, the brand is offering an exclusive promotion called “Friend get Friend.” The only condition to receive this offer is by inviting a friend to purchase a Mercedes-Benz at the 2025 Motor Show or at authorized dealerships nationwide.
