Welcome, everyone, inside a new Mercedes electric car. It’s still a week or two before we get to see the EQS in the metal, but to calm our minds Mercedes has unveiled their all-important EV luxury cabin. And boy that there are a lot of screens.
Great news though, the appearance of the EQS dashboard should come as no surprise to those of you who have been paying attention. The new car comes as usual with the picture-touch screen and dashboard from the Class-S, but you can (and probably should) upgrade to the big Mercedes ‘MBUX Hyperscreen’ published in the January. So are the specs of the system: eight CUP cores, 24 gigabytes of RAM and 141 cumulative centimeters of screen. Wowzers.
The three-screen setup features mid-range (17.7-inch), driver and passenger (both 12.3-inch) displays on the back of a single pan of curved glass that spans almost the entire width of the screen. car. It is surrounded by a silver / leather frame and sits under a thin air vent. The center and passenger displays of the OLED mix are very sharp, and both feature haptic feedback and force.
The last one triggers a pulse when you push on the screen until it feels like you’re actually pushing a button, while the last one is a bit like the ‘3D Touch’ tech called old iPhones. The screen basically knows how hard you are pressing and can change its response accordingly.
Special coating and production methods are said to make the Hyperscreen not only largely waterproof from scratching, but also easier to clean and more prone to reflections. At the same time the passenger display can also tell if the driver’s view is then looking down so that only the passenger can see. It is also known if someone is sitting in the passenger seat, and automatically turns it if you are flying alone.
In total, the EQS contains over 350 sensors, measuring everything from “distances, distances and accelerations, lighting conditions, precipitation and temperature”, to “seat rest as well as driver’s eye movements or language the passengers ”.
The Hyperscreen runs the latest version of Merc’s ‘MBUX’ infotainment system that uses AI to predict what you want to do before you crush, crush or move through any menus . “With the so-called zero-level design, the user does not have to scroll through submenus or give voice commands. The top applications are always offered at the highest level in the field of vision, depending on the situation and context, ”says Mercedes.
Elsewhere in Merc’s new booth is a HEPA filter to prevent grains and foul odors from disturbing the peace and an updated ‘Energizing Comfort’ system that can extract data from a compatible smartwatch to help you calm down or wake up. Then the ‘Power Nap’ action, which closes the windows and blinds, repeats the seat, plays quiet sounds through the stereo and changes the on-light con / ambient to induce short naps to pass the time while you are lifting.
Mercedes has also put a lot of effort into EQS optional “sound experiences”. If you want you can drive on in warm silence – the EQS is without a doubt one of the quietest Mercedes ever built – or you can choose one of three sounds that is suitable for your driving style, and whether you are in Sport or Comfort Mode. “Silver Waves” is “clean and clean sound”, followed by techy “Vivid Flux” and more impressive “Roaring Pulse”.
