\nStuttgart.

Alongside the iconic G-Class, Unimog, Sprinter models and the all-new GLE Coup\u00e9 will play a leading role in the epic action-adventure. Mercedes-Benz will accompany the release of the film with a comprehensive co-promotional package that includes a television commercial, print and online advertising, dedicated microsites and social-media activities. The commercial, starring the Mercedes-Benz vehicles from the film, launches today in the U.S. and Europe. Additionally, a custom key visual was developed for all communication in which the all-new GLE Coup\u00e9 is seen eye-to-eye with the film\u2019s fearsome Indominus rex.
\n\u201cIn 1997 the Mercedes-Benz M-Class made its first official appearance in the Hollywood Blockbuster \u2018The Lost World: Jurassic Park\u2019.

\nThe Mercedes-Benz GLE 450 AMG Coup\u00e9 makes its film debut as the official car of Jurassic World operations manager Claire, played by Bryce Dallas Howard. When Claire must confront a crisis well beyond what she can handle alone, she takes the new Mercedes-Benz GLE Coup\u00e9 (showcasing its off-road capabilities) and joins behavioral researcher Owen (Chris Pratt) on a mission in the lush jungle of Isla Nublar.
\nIn addition we see Owen piloting the G-Class, the patriarch of all Mercedes-Benz SUVs. The film also features the Unimog, cast as a dinosaur ambulance, as well as a G 63 AMG 6×6 and various Sprinter models. “The fleet of Mercedes Benz vehicles fit perfectly into Jurassic World.
