A century of groundbreaking safety inside — and out.
We believe safety is more than a feature — it’s a right. Mercedes-Benz is committed to taking a stand with the LGBTQIA+ community to provide a safe space on the road, and off.

Our Community
Leo Baker
We’re joining up with trans, non-binary pro-skater, Leo Baker, to share their story and encourage others in the LGBTQIA+ community to share theirs. By opening more channels of communication, we can highlight the importance of authenticity and allyship for other gay, lesbian, trans and non-binary athletes.
