Different everyday word The two terms share no characters at all. In Taiwan the standard term is 賓士; on the Mainland it is 奔驰 - both point at “to run quickly”.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 賓士、奔馳 for this concept. The Mainland standard is among them - the difference is which form each side makes the default.
Neither term carries an HSK or TOCFL level in this table - this pair is dictionary-recorded, not syllabus-derived.
