The arrival of a new Mercedes-Benz S-Class is actually a big problem.As the company’s flagship product, the S-Class is the first to take advantage of Mercedes’ newest and most productive inventions before they spread to the rest of the world.As for infotainment technology, the S-Class 2021, which officially debuted wednesday, offers a major update.Here are the five wonderful things you want to know.
You can get an S-Class with up to five screens. At the front and center, each S-Class will be popular with a 12.8-inch OLED touch screen, which serves as the vehicle’s main control screen.Mercedes says this gets rid of 27 buttons from the center console, although unlike Tesla, the internal S-Class purposes are only controlled through this touchscreen. Headlights, windshield wipers, window switches, etc., will continue in the same previous position.Even the air Conditioning controls, although digitally housed on the 12.8-inch display, will be locked at the back of the screen for easy access.
On the left, drivers will have an organization of virtual meters with other topics (called Discrete, Sports, Exclusive, Classic; use the eye of their mind to decipher them).For the new S-Class, Mercedes introduces a deep 3-d demonstrate that you “get through the complicated mix of a traditional LCD screen with a special pixel design and a controllable LCD aperture grille”.It’s definitely anything I’m going to have to see in the user to find out, but Mercedes says it’s like hunting on a screen while you’re dressed in three-dimensional lenses, just, um, without the lenses.

Rear passengers can have up to 3 screens at their disposal, all with individual editions of the full MBUX suite, not a partial edition like many other rear entertainment systems This means that passengers can set up or replace navigation commands on the fly, vehicle configurations, but it is interesting to note that passengers will be able to focus things like a favorite radio or a radio station with other people in the car simply by sending them to their respective screens.So when I need my driver, Andrew Krok, to put SiriusXM Faction Punk (channel 314), instead of barking orders as I normally would, I can just send the channel to the front.Boom, that’s it.
The new S-Class will have up to 3 screens on the back, but the front is even cooler.
This top point of customization brings me to my next theme: integrating MBUX with the Mercedes Me cloud app.Drivers can scan a QR code in the car and the S-Class will be automatically attached to the user profile, which defines their favorite radio.stations, destinations, vehicle configurations, you know the exercise.You can even send this to: maybe one day you’ll be the driver, maybe the next you’re driving in the back, and you can bring your express personal tastes to any seat in the house.
Up to seven other user profiles can be registered in Class S.In addition, because everything is cloud-based, those profiles can also be used in Mercedes-Benz cars that use this next-generation MBUX technology.
Drivers use a PIN to attach the S-Class and Mercedes Me cloud app.But with the new S-Class system, fingerprint scanning, facial and voice popularity are also integrated.This is also useful for verifying the configuration of the main vehicle settings.or for online virtual payment (such as ordering food on the go).
Thanks to biometric capabilities, Mercedes is the way its facial popularity generation affects vehicle functions. Many of the company’s existing products will use the Blind Spot tracking formula to alert you if a car or cyclist is coming in the opposite direction when you open the door., for example in parallel parking. But in S-Class, the formula can be turned on when the cameras stumble upon their goal of getting out of the car.Ambient lighting is even a component of this operation, flashing red if you think you are about to open the door and hit an approaching corridor.I’ll be very curious to see how sensitive this formula is in the genuine world.
Mercedes-Benz already has generation in the new GL and GLS class SUVs that can position your seat according to frame size, and S-Class face popularity cameras offer ample capacity here, adjusting external mirrors.That, the car can lift or decrease the rear sundial if you see it look over your shoulder, and now you can open or close the sunroof just by making a gesture (perhaps on Vanna White Road).MBUX can even trip if you have a child seat in the front passenger seat securely secured.It’s about security, folks.
It’s a bit of a generation that many automakers have been talking about for years, however, the new S-Class will be the first Mercedes-Benz to get real augmented overlays for HUD.However, this will pass additional useful and mapping data on the windshield, so that it appears to be on the road in front of you.
“The opening angle of the screen is 10 degrees horizontally and five degrees vertically, and the symbol appears to be almost at a distance of 33 feet,” explains Mercedes-Benz.”This demo domain corresponds to a monitor with a 77-inch diagonal.”
If it works as a reinforced AR generation edition on the MBUX screen, create a projected arrow on the screen in the precise place where you want to rotate, or see the front of a highlighted space to park in front of The Good.
Earlier this year, Mercedes-Benz said it needs to make its generation of voice popularity even more proactive, and the first step toward that fully auditory long-term will be in S-Class.You may not want to use the opening word “Hey, Mercedes” to do things like answer an incoming call; just say “Accept call.”The car will also have more built-in microphones, allowing you to stumble upon the occupant you are talking about, even other people in the back, and use flashing ambient lights (which sound annoying) to identify who is in control lately.
The updated MBUX software now has a Explore Me feature, where you can use voice commands for the car to advise you for express purposes, such as pairing a smartphone via Bluetooth or locating the Class S first aid kit.The very popular verbal exchange teams have also expanded; “Even questions about animal noises or general wisdom can be answered,” the company said.Hey, Mercedes, what’s a flame like?
The Smart Home integration will allow you to have similar systems in your home (“Hey, Mercedes, turn on air conditioning at home”), and the generation can even interact in a discussion with a genuine user on complex issues, perhaps like General Motors.OnStar Better yet, MBUX now supports another 27 languages with an understanding of herbal speech, making it less difficult for other people to use this generation more often.
Despite how great this MBUX update is, this is just the tip of the iceberg for the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class.There are plenty of new protection technologies, attractive design important points and comfortable and effective hybrid power trains – all of this is covered in our wonderful first story.Also be sure to see how the new S-Class compares to its main German rivals.
