Modern luxury is taken to the next level inside the S-Class. The designers have created an ambience of well-being with a lounge character marked by elegance, high quality and lightness. The dashboard with its new architecture, modern surface design and ergonomic display arrangement is a highlight. But the well-being aspect goes even further: with high ride quality and low noise levels as well as a wide range of ENERGIZING Comfort programs, the S-Class takes care of the well-being of its passengers. They also stay in shape thanks to the efficient air filtering system, which signals its newly acquired ability with the new name ENERGIZING Air Control.[1].

MBUX: a new dimension of personalization and interaction

No other innovation in recent years has changed the way a Mercedes-Benz works so drastically as MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience). The second generation of this learning-capable system now makes its debut in the new S-Class. The interior of the vehicle is even more digital and intelligent, as the hardware and software have made great strides: from brilliant displays to up to ‘five large screens, partly with OLED technology, make the control of vehicle functions and comfort even easier. The possibilities for customization and intuitive use have become much more extensive. This certainly applies to the rear, but also to the driver: for example, the new 3D driver display allows for the first time a spatial view at the touch of a button. A true three-dimensional effect is achieved without having to wear 3D glasses.

Two different head-up displays (HUD) are available on request. The largest HUD provides augmented reality (AR) content. During navigation, for example, animated stop arrows (“fishbones”) are projected virtually and accurately onto the taxiway. For assistance functions, information from, for example, the active remote assistant is displayed. The image appears virtually at a distance of 10 meters. The display area corresponds to a 77 inch diagonal monitor.

The “Hey Mercedes” voice assistant is even more capable of learning and talking through the activation of online services in the Mercedes me app. In addition, some actions can be performed even without the activation keyword “Hey Mercedes”. These include accepting a phone call. “Hey Mercedes” now also explains vehicle functions and answers general knowledge questions. In the S-Class, the voice assistant can also be controlled from the rear.

Using cameras in the top control panel and learning algorithms, MBUX Interior Assist recognizes and anticipates the wishes and intentions of occupants. It does this by interpreting the direction of the head, hand movements and body language, and responds with the corresponding functions of the vehicle. In addition to improving user comfort, MBUX Interior Assist improves safety. Even before the start of the journey, it warns the driver if the camera has detected a child seat in the front passenger seat, but the seat belt is not fastened, for example.

With the MBUX Smart Home function, the S-Class now also becomes a control center for the home, because the homes of many people are increasingly intelligent: mobile intelligence guarantees maximum user convenience from a distance. WLAN and sensors make the house able to communicate: temperature and lighting, roller shutters and electrical devices can be monitored and controlled remotely. Motion detectors and window contacts notify the user of welcome or unwanted visitors.Dimensional concept and interior design: generous atmosphere with a lounge nature

The desired harmony between digital and analog luxury results in revolutionary interior design, including associations with interior architecture and yacht design elements. The sculpted appearance of the instrument panel, center console and armrests appear to float above a vast interior landscape. The systematic reduction in the number of orders underlines the minimalist appearance of the interior. A fine separation between the top of the dashboard and the large trim element structures the area and creates a horizontal width.

In addition to up to five screens, highlights include the large trim areas in the dashboard and at the rear (in the Comfort Seat variant).

The driver’s display and multimedia display provide a complete aesthetic experience. The appearance of the screens is customizable with a choice of four display styles (Discreet, Sporty, Exclusive, Classic) and three modes (Navigation, Assistance, Service).

Seats: Lots of high technology for exceptional comfort over long distances

The seats literally invite occupants to sit back and relax. Up to 19 motors in the front seats provide comfortable seating – a number that indicates the complexity of the technology installed in the seats. However, comfort is not enough: seats also play a major role in safety. And of course, when it comes to luxurious wellness, every seat available for the S-Class bears the Healthy Seating campaign’s seal of approval.[2].

Ten different massage programs are available in the new S-Class. These use vibration motors and can enhance the effect of a relaxing massage with heat on the principle of hot stones. To this end, the seat heating is combined with the inflatable air chambers in the active multicontour seats. The air chambers are now closer to the seat surface and are therefore even easier to control and feel.

Five different rear seat variants allow the rear of the S-Class to be configured as a working or resting area. New is the additional heated headrest pad, which is available for both electrically adjustable rear seats. The adjustment range and angle of the front passenger seat in the driver configuration and the reclining seat behind it have also been improved.

ENERGIZING Comfort programs: Travel comfortably while staying in shape

With the push of a button or by voice command, ENERGIZING Comfort’s holistic “Fit & Healthy” approach offers a tangible experience of the various comfort systems of the S-Class and offers programs that bring them together in worlds of comfort. ‘experience.

Mercedes-Benz has fundamentally improved ENERGIZING comfort control in the new S-Class. Innovations such as a massage based on vibrating motors in the seat cushion and resonance transmission through the Burmester^® top of the line
A 4D surround sound system is integrated. This makes the bass sounds felt. Direct reproduction of sound resonance in the seats adds another level to the three-dimensional listening experience – 4D sound inspired by acoustic massage. The perceived sound intensity can be individually adjusted for each seat. The music becomes even more emotional thanks to this sensitive component. Two exciters are integrated in the back of each seat for this purpose.
