That’s why the new Mercedes E-Class is sooooo 2009
Driving is a must: be careful, be careful, don’t bother other road users. But the manufacturers are increasingly forgetting this basic function of the car. For example, the new Mercedes E-Class, the interior of which you see here, is crammed with distractions, including a computer game that has long since passed its prime.
Mercedes proudly announces that you can play the Angry Birds game on the central screen of the E-Class. Wow! They are up to date, there in Stuttgart. After all, only fourteen years ago (!) the whole world shot angry birds at angry pigs on the iPhone.
Mercedes E-Class with… gulp… a selfie camera
In any case, it’s more fun in the new Mercedes E-Class. It supports (optional) video streaming, TikTok and even more games than Angry Birds on the center display and the passenger screen. You can also hold meetings as the Zoom application is also available.
But wait, if TikTok and Zoom are on board, there has to be a camera somewhere. And that’s right. The E-Class comes with… it hurts to write that down… a selfie camera that can take photos and record TikTok videos. Remarkable for a company car that is mainly bought by people over fifty. Well, of course they meet with them…
Lots of light and sound
Anyone who’s experienced modern Mercedes interiors knows that they can sometimes feel a bit carnival-like, with strip lights everywhere and a plethora of screens. With the upcoming E-Class, the whole thing can be even more dazzling, because it is optionally equipped with Active Ambient Lighting with sound visualization.
This means that music or sound from films and apps can not only be heard (optionally via Dolby Atmos), but also felt (via the optional Burmester 4D audio system) and seen. For example, the lighting on board changes to the beat of the music.
Hyperscreen with three screens
As can be seen in the photos, the hyperscreen is also available again, albeit in a different form than on the EQS. Here it consists of a separate screen for the driver and two connected displays next to it. There are also (optional) all kinds of massage functions available and an air conditioning system that can regulate the climate according to personal profiles for each seat.
Mercedes E-Class in summer 2023
The new Mercedes E-Class will be launched in Europe in the summer of 2023, initially as a sedan and later, of course, as a station wagon. Coupé and convertible models will also be available again, however Mercedes has decided to merge the C-class coupe and convertible with the E-class coupe and convertible.
