Modern luxury reaches unprecedented levels in its interior
new S-Class. The designers have created an environment of pleasure and relaxation
where elegance, high quality and light prevail. The instrument panel with
the new architecture, the modern design of the surfaces and the
ergonomic layout of the displays and instruments is a dominant
Feature. The pleasure aspect in particular, however, is deeply thought out:
With high quality driving comfort features, low levels
noise and a wide range of ENERGIZING Comfort programmes, the S-Class takes care of the
for the well-being of its passengers. At the same time, thanks to the air purification system,
which takes on the new name ENERGIZING AIR CONTROL to emphasize the
new capabilities, their physical condition is maintained at the best possible
level.
The S-Class has always offered a space for comfortable travel and a relaxed
homework. With the new generation, its interior has now evolved into a
"in-between space", a refuge between home and workplace. All
almost the features related to comfort in both versions of the
S-Class, i.e. with short and long wheelbase, have been improved in both the
front and rear seats. The feeling of spaciousness is correspondingly
generous and this is helped by the revolutionary interior design, which has
elements of interior architecture and yacht design. Beyond the
up to five screens, impressive features are also the large decorative
elements on the instrument panel and in the rear (with First Class space in the rear
passengers). Particularly attractive is the wood panelling with open pores and
elegant aluminum accents.
LED technology allows interactive interior lighting
Space: Active atmospheric lighting has now been integrated into the systems
driver assistance and has the ability to visually indicate the presence of
Warnings. For example, the blind spot assist system
visibility Active Blind Spot Assist warns of an impending collision with
a red bright moving picture. Also, there is the possibility of responding
when operating the air conditioning system or the "Hey" voice assistant
Mercedes".
In addition, active atmospheric lighting is integrated in the
ENERGIZING comfort control system. By pressing a button or giving a voice command
command, the holistic approach "Fit & Healthy" offers tangible, experiential
experience the significantly advanced comfort systems of the S-Class with functions
grouped into different worlds of experience. At the same time, the system
creates the right atmosphere in the interior, for example refreshing
in case of fatigue or relaxing if the stress level is high. The
ENERGIZING COACH even suggests the appropriate toning exercise program or
wellness based on vehicle or route data. The intelligent algorithm
the system also takes into account information on sleep quality
and the level of stress if the driver has an appropriate smartphone or wears a watch

"S-Class customers are highly selective. With the new S-Class,
invite them to a completely new luxury experience, enhanced by the
'Sensual Purity' design philosophy and our absolute dedication to quality
and attention to detail. The result is an unprecedented experience
interior, which combines digital and physical luxury",
- Hartmut Sinkwitz, Head of Internal Design
"Tradition meets evolution - for example, with the great
wooden surfaces that for many are certainly unexpected. In particular
decorative elements include walnut wood with open pores, the
which resembles a yacht design and is decorated with aluminium inserts. The
fine materials and craftsmanship can also be found in the new generation of seats",
- Belinda Günther, Head of Colours & Investments
"Luxury today is defined by generalised perfectionism. Η
luxury driving experience depends on a multitude of factors and has to
to satisfy all the senses. Traditionally this also means almost
quiet routes. But it also means facilitating customers with the
intuitive handling and integrated connectivity, for example, so that
save a lot of time."
- Dirk Fetzer, Head of Product Management S-Class
The new S-Class is experienced with many
senses: sight, touch, hearing and smell in the areas of
support, protection, interaction and well-being:
Overview

Revolutionary
internal design
which is reminiscent of interior architecture and yacht design:
-
Η
new S-Class is oriented on the six basic principles of the design code
Mercedes-Benz:
1. "Unexpected moments"

News
interior architecture and new user experience philosophy for a spacious,
relaxing environment

forming a single set

Large
screens and central screen in vertical arrangement
2. "Tonic contrasts"

§
Generous
dimensions of the dashboard and simple screen surfaces
3. "Shocking proportions"
§
The
unusually large decorative elements give an imposing appearance to the
masterfully crafted surfaces made of high quality wood: handmade
moulding in clay mould to achieve the best possible
proportions
4. "Freedom and geometry"
§
The
decorative elements made with yacht deck timber and
have fluid lines
§
Η
central screen rests freely on the dashboard and passes smoothly through the two-dimensional
screen geometry to a 3D experience geometry on the center console
§
Η
transition from the screen to the decorative "Black Panel" is highlighted by the
horizontal strip accommodating the upper control belt
§
Η
design and functionality are inextricably linked to the specific
designed and perfectly harmonized seat covers, which are
are characterised by visible seams and perforated sections
5. "Important graphic elements"
§
The
new design elements include four distinctive central
air vents and horizontally arranged control switches
§
Two
fine, vertical vents on each side complete the dashboard design
§
Η
systematic reduction in the number of controls and interruptions underlines the
modern minimalist look of the interior: as little as possible
controls and exactly what you need
§
Separation
in groups (e.g. seat adjustment switches)
§ Graphic atmospheric design
lighting (see below for details), active atmospheric lighting for
the upper part of the cabin is located behind the "Black Panel" surface

Environment
well-being day and night thanks to the atmospheric lighting:
- Light surrounds all passengers
(atmospheric lighting also on the roof control unit and the rear
side of the front seats) - There is one LED every 1,6 cm
in the optical fibre and about 250 LEDs in total
- Controlled in real time
- The optical fibre and the diffusion reflector
create colour transitions and make it possible to create the feeling of
"luminous flux". - The brightness is ten times higher than before
(200 waxes per m2), visible even in the daytime, while the automatic
switching between day and night mode of operation depends on
the brightness of the environment - Colours and brightness (20
levels) are adjusted via the MBUX/voice assistant - Additional active atmospheric functions
lighting (optional):
- Warning labeling thanks to
its integration into driver assistance systems - Red bright moving picture, e.g.
with Lane Keeping Assist and Brake Assist systems (Lane Keeping Assist and Brake Assist)
lane-keeping and braking assistance), and with the
disembarkation warning system - Confirmation of response to orders
handling - Setting the air conditioning system
in lower or higher temperature in the individual zones causes
a visible light pulse - The voice assistant "Hey Mercedes"
indicates the corresponding seat position, e.g. when the system
waiting for a voice command - Integration in ENERGIZING Comfort
