Cockpit

Instrument cluster

An LCD, on which MBUX Surround Navigation shows surrounding road users together with the route guidance.

Head-up display: Optional, with a virtual 12.2-inch image about 2.8 m ahead.

Centre display

MBUX (4th generation) on MB.OS

A Zero Layer home screen shows recently used apps; graphics are rendered with the Unity game engine, and navigation is based on Google Maps.

Controls

Standard THERMATIC single-zone climate control. The new multifunction steering wheel has capacitive switch panels with tactile markers; the right spoke keeps one finger-navigation pad, used for the driver display.

Facts

  • The optional floating MBUX Superscreen puts the driver display and the central display under one glass surface; a 14-inch passenger display was offered after launch.[1]
  • The MBUX Virtual Assistant is based on ChatGPT4o and Microsoft Bing search, and uses Google Gemini for navigation questions.[1][2]
  • MB.OS uses QNX for safety-related functions and the instrument cluster and Linux for infotainment.[2]
  • Model series 174 is the battery-electric version and series 178 the 48-volt full hybrid.[3][2]
