German luxury automaker Mercedes-Benz has unveiled the cabin design and features of the upcoming all-new E-Class sedan. The 2024 Mercedes-Benz E-Class is expected to arrive in various markets this year, including a launch in India. While the car has been snapped several times, revealing the exterior design, this is the first time the cabin has been shown in its full glory. With the Mercedes-Benz S-Class getting the new MBUX SuperScreen, it was expected that the company’s best-selling sedan would be offered with the industry’s biggest screen inside the cabin.
The new Mercedes-Benz E-Class now features the brand’s MBUX SuperScreen, with displays on the center console and in front of the passenger side. The driver also gets a free-standing, fully-digital instrument cluster. More exciting than the SuperScreen is the fact that the two infotainment screens now enable the user to install third-party apps directly through Mercedes’ ‘App Store’ instead of being mirrored via Android Auto or Apple CarPlay.
This app vault will offer a range of directly downloadable applications and will come with apps such as Angry Birds, TikTok, Zoom and Webex. Not just this, the sedan will also come with a dashboard-mounted selfie photo and video camera that can be used for video conferencing by some apps including Zoom and Webex. In addition, the passenger side screen will enable the passenger to play games like Angry Birds on its dedicated screen.
Mercedes-Benz will also offer the E-Class with the ZYNC entertainment portal, which is said to offer “on-demand content, interactive experiences, local video programs, sports, news and more.” This immersive content can be enjoyed using the 17-speaker 4D Burmester sound system, which will sport activated lights that react to sound inside and double-up as visual warnings.
To protect the drive from the distraction of content, the E-Class will get a “visual shield”. As the name suggests, this will prevent the E-Class driver from viewing content through a second camera that monitors the driver’s eye movements.
