Visually impressive. Easy to operate. Onboard AI assistant eager to learn. The MBUX Hyperscreen is one of the highlights in the EQS. It represents the emotional intelligence of the all-electric upper-class model. The large, curved screen unit stretches almost the entire width from the left to the right A-pillar.

The new MBUX generation with intelligent new features such as Mercedes Travel Knowledge, instantly makes you feel you have travelled into the future. Or, into the science fiction past; and that you have met K.I.T.T., the smart talkative car from the 1980s TV show Knight Rider.

Mercedes-Benz: MBUX Hyperscreen

German automaker Mercedes-Benz premiered its new MBUX Hyperscreen on 7th January. A few days after its digital world premiere, the new MBUX Hyperscreen from Mercedes-Benz celebrated its trade-show debut on 11th January at the first all-digital Consumer Electronics Show (CES) organised by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA), and usually held in Las Vegas.

According to the car manufacturer, with a width of 141 centimetres, the unique screen unit consisting of three apparently seamlessly merged displays is not only the largest human-machine interface built by Mercedes-Benz to date, but also by far the most intelligent — aesthetically impressive, radically easy to operate, and downright eager to learn.

Thanks to the power of Artificial Intelligence technology, the display and operating system adapt completely to the user and make personalised suggestions for numerous infotainment, comfort, and vehicle functions depending on the situation. The MBUX Hyperscreen was set to be launched in the fully electric EQS luxury saloon.
