Most Innovative Premium Manufacturers Mercedes is the most innovative premium car manufacturer in the world. And BMW also does well in the current innovation ranking of the Center of Automotive Management (CAM). But Chinese providers are catching up. Mercedes has 90 index points in the CAM assessment, which evaluates new technologies according to quantitative and qualitative criteria and also takes into account the level of maturity and customer benefits. The Stuttgart-based company particularly scored points with the new generation of the E-Class, which offers, among other things, a plug-in hybrid with a long range and an anti-motion sickness program. BMW follows in second place with 88 index points; The people of Munich benefit above all from the new mini generation. Close on the heels of the two traditional German brands are now the Chinese competitors Xpeng (86) and Nio (50), who take third and fourth place. There are also eight other brands from China among the top 20 brands: Zeekr, IM, Denza, Hyper, Wey, R Auto, Arcfox and Yangwang
