In anticipation of the debut of the E-class in the sixth generation of 2024, Mercedes-Benz gave us a preview of what to expect — at least in the interior. The cockpit is an improvement of the Hyperscreen seen on the EQS sedan with the digital instrument panel rising over. It’s enhanced by colorful light strips of ambient illumination that wrap around the doors and dash to enhance the futuristic design.
In the background is a wealth of modern technologies that are designed to improve the user’s experience, comfort, and productivity. The E-class comes with the most recent third-generation MBUX infotainment system, which is considered a precursor to the MB.OS architecture which will be released within the next few years.
Like the EQS, the dash can be upgraded by adding a display to the passenger in front. This lets the passenger play games and streamed content without disturbing the driver. Cameras monitor the driver’s eye motions and if they wander to the screen of the passenger and the content gets obliterated. Mercedes is known as image filtering.

While parked, drivers can use the numerous options for entertainment. This includes games like Angry Birds, social media on TikTok as well as the Vivaldi internet browser. If you’re interested in productivity You can use Zoom to connect to meetings, and there’s a built-in video as well as a selfie camera on the top of the screen. The transfer of data is assisted by 5G connectivity.
For audio when you select the highest quality Burmester Premium audio option, the ambient lighting will create a spectacular bright spectacle for the listener. There’s either pulsing light that is in sync with the beat or smooth color changes to create more relaxing music. We like this idea, but it can be a little stale during the night.
Interior
When it comes to relaxing the current Energizing Comfort system gets a smart enhancement. It combines massage functions for the seat along with control of the climate, interior music, fragrances, and images on screen to establish particular moods. A new feature pairs it with wearable monitors that determine stress levels and help you relax and breathe to help you return to a relaxed state.
Another exciting new feature is what Mercedes refers to as routines. The user can pick from several designs that will automatically activate the seat heaters at a particular temperature as well as the lighting in the interior. There’s even a Date Night routine that will make the room feel romantic with rose-colored lighting and the most popular slow jams. There’s also the option to design the routines of your choice. Shortly, Mercedes plans to include AI-generated routines that are based on your routines.
In conjunction with the plethora of technological features that already are available, these new options increase the excitement however, they aren’t the kind of innovation we’re expecting from the upcoming MB.OS system. However, it will surely impress passengers and owners alike by offering the most modern features in entertainment and comfort.
