Default New 2024 Mercedes E Class interior reveal

Mercedes just released pictures of the interior of the all new E Class debuting as a 2024, coming late this year. It gets the hyperscreen. The latest version of MBUX will offer user downloadable apps, hence the TikTok screen, and it features a camera for Zoom and videoconferencing when in park.

What do you all think? I dunno...I'd like to see some wood somewhere...

Most of the ones you see on the road will likely not be equipped with the hyper screen. You’ll see more wood on those.

Nope. Too futuristic. If this was a 2033 model maybe. Way too much overload. The screen in front of the driver is a nicer touch

I actually prefer that without the Hyperscreen. This is a rendering but it looks pretty close to that actual dash you posted @TangoRed

Better than hyperscreen. But I’m not sure it’s stellar

Hyperdrive screen is not my thing but that's fine. The double stacked button bars on the steering wheel is downright absurd what were they thinking? Does the giant screen crack in a moderate collision?

I think it would look horribly out of date in 5 years with that much screen. Screens do not age well.

I prefer it too. That interior rendering is pretty close, they did better inside than the outside.

The screens themselves may look dated, but at least this car has MB.OS that will receive regular software updates. That will keep the menus and such looking fresh.

that's an optional type of steering wheel. see the one in the non hyperscreen versions above.

I think newer screens will age better than older screens. Resolution is so good now that its not likely to get demonstrably better, and modern OLED screens have perfect blacks...

As an example the screens in my S560 still look modern and crisp compared to an S580, but when you get into a pre-refresh W222 the screens are not nearly as high resolution and they look crummy...

Hyperscreen is overkill. There is no place for the passenger to put their feet up.

It's got a sort of tacked on elegance for this iteration of Mercedes luxury midsizer, on the non-hyperscreen model. I don't mind it. In the same breath the hyperscreen is pretty cool too

I’m going against the grain here but I like it. I’m not sure the purpose but it looks pretty cool. What is the upcharge? If it was reasonable I would buy it.

The package costs $7200 on the lower EQS trims, standard on the more expensive trims. I bet it will be similar on the E-class. Mercedes has reported they’re “blown away” by the demand for it so far and were unprepared to deal with it.
