Ahead of debut in EQS sedan, Mercedes-Benz reveals MBUX Hyperscreen
What's the story
Prior to its debut in the EQS electric sedan, Mercedes-Benz has revealed its MBUX Hyperscreen. It is the biggest ever display to be mounted in the company's cars and measures at a staggering 56.0-inch. Running end-to-end horizontally across the dashboard, it looks and feels like a single unit, but actually holds three separate screens below a thin glass coat. Here are more details.

MBUX Hyperscreen: At a glance
The Hyperscreen is a curved glass that offers three display zones- driver (12.3-inch), center display (17.7-inch), and a 12.3-inch screen for the front passenger. If the front passenger seat is vacant, the screen shows a decorative pattern, giving a one-piece effect to the dashboard. Silver-finished aircon vents are integrated on both sides of the panel. Also, ambient lighting gives the console a floating effect.
