The Mercedes-Benz EQS shows us its interior: a set of multimedia screens at the service of the driver

We have been talking for quite some time about the new Mercedes-Benz EQS, the German manufacturer’s new electric model. But we had no images of the car, nothing showing us any detail of the interior and what awaits us when we get behind the wheel. That is, until today, when we can finally see the incredible interior, made up of three multimedia screens that will display all the important information.

First of all, a caveat. This is not standard equipment; it will be an optional equipment package replacing the standard setup. It consists of two 12.3-inch screens for the driver and another 12.8-inch screen located in the centre. This configuration is already interesting in itself, but the brand wants to offer something more.

Three multimedia screens

But for those who want to upgrade this aspect, Mercedes has fitted the MBUX Hyperscreen system, which is made up of three large OLED screens. The central screen measures 17.7 inches, while the two side screens measure 12.3 inches. Together they span 1.42 metres, which corresponds to a total size of 52 inches, arranged in a curved line to offer greater visibility.

The technology used allows the screens to adjust brightness and intensity thanks to a light sensor and a camera. It is also possible to include an entertainment system with two 11.6-inch screens for the rear seats. This option includes a tablet or a 15-speaker Burmester sound system, which can be added as an extra on the car.

On top of the main screens there is a protective glass that covers both the three screens and the touch controls. The controls have a haptic function, as they vibrate when pressed, so the driver is aware that they have been pressed and activated.

This screen system is backed by an 8-core CPU and 24 GB of RAM. Artificial intelligence allows the system to adapt its operation to the driver’s preferences. It can thus offer menus and options at certain moments, and to improve interaction with the voice assistant Hello, Mercedes it is available in 27 languages.

The cabin features range from relaxing sounds of the sea, a forest or rain and a HEPA filter that prevents the entry of pollen, microbacteria, dust and other elements that can cause problems for the vehicle’s occupants. There are also fragrance diffusers and up to 350 sensors that record a multitude of data so the driver has all the information and can delegate simple actions to the computerised control system, such as the operation of the windscreen.
