Beauty is the only thing that counts in the poll for the autonis Design Award, which "auto motor und sport" magazine conducts each year to crown the most beautiful cars. In the luxury segment the Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupé won the coveted honour by a wide margin. Among the compact cross-country vehicles the Mercedes-Benz GLA was the most popular with readers.

The S-Class Coupé won over the readers with its aesthetic design, exclusive appointments and sophisticated sportiness. The GLA thoroughly reinterprets the compact SUV segment with its progressive design. Flowing lines that exude excitement and youthful charm mark its character as the ideal vehicle for the small escapes from everyday routine.
