What System is the Mercedes-Benz Center Console?
2 Answers
Mercedes-Benz center console features the new MBUX (2nd Generation) infotainment system. The most visually striking change is the disappearance of conventional physical buttons, which have been upgraded to a fully touch-operated mode. The screen size has reached 12.8 inches, and with OLED material, it is now on par with tablet computers. Five Display Screens: The interior of the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class will be equipped with a total of five display screens, including: a fully digital instrument cluster, a center console touchscreen, and three rear display screens. Four Display Styles for the Instrument Cluster: The fully digital instrument cluster offers four display styles and three modes, capable of achieving a naked-eye 3D effect. Mercedes-Benz has integrated a camera in the screen that can track the state of the user's eyes, including the position and distance of both eyes, enabling 3D effects from different viewing angles.
A few days ago, I tried my friend's Mercedes-Benz GLE and found that the infotainment system is called MBUX, which is quite user-friendly. There's a large touchscreen right in front of you, and the operation is as simple and smooth as using a smartphone. I could just say, 'Hey Mercedes, navigate to the office,' and it instantly plotted the route, even adjusting in real-time to avoid traffic jams. Music playback is also convenient—just a swipe of the finger to skip tracks. The system even learns my preferences, like favoring a certain radio station or setting the AC to 25 degrees, and over time, it remembers these settings automatically. The screen display is clear and intuitive, with large icons that are easy to see at a glance while driving, minimizing distractions. Compared to other brands like Audi's MMI, MBUX is faster and smarter. As someone who commutes daily in the city, I find this system saves time and effort. The seamless integration of navigation and entertainment keeps me more focused and safer on the road, especially when listening to podcasts during traffic jams—it’s a great stress reliever. The system gets regular updates, and the features keep getting richer. It really feels like money well spent.
