Last month Mercedes-Benz released a teaser image of its MBUX Hyperscreen, an ultra-widescreen display with artificial intelligence that will debut in the upcoming Mercedes-Benz EQS electric sedan.
Now the German luxury automaker has images and released full details on the MBUX Hyperscreen, which it describes as “visually impressive, radically easy to operate and extremely eager to learn.” The MBUX Hyperscreen is made up of several different displays that merge seamlessly to create a single, uniform curved display that is over 56 inches wide and has 377 square inches of surface area. The display also features an integrated multifunction camera and light sensor, which detect the ambient light conditions to automatically adjust the brightness of the screen.
Another highlight of the MBUX Hyperscreen is the integrated artificial intelligence (AI) system, which learns the user’s behavior and preference and can adjust its operation based on these parameters. For example, the operating system may make suggestions for the screen layout or vehicle settings based on how often they are used. The driver can also speak to the system using voice commands by saying “Hey, Mercedes,” while they are in the vehicle.
“The MBUX Hyperscreen is both the brain and nervous system of the car,” Mercedes-Benz’s chief technical officer, Sajjad Khan, said in a statement. “The MBUX Hyperscreen continually gets to know the customer better and delivers a tailored, personalized infotainment and operating offerings without the occupant needing to click or scroll anywhere.”
The OLED MBUX Hyperscreen is similar to the widescreen OLED display that is found in the 2021 Cadillac Escalade, although it is quite a bit larger than Cadillac’s screen, spanning the width of the entire dashboard. It’s worth noting the MBUX Hyperscreen will be optional equipment in the Mercedes-Benz EQS, with a smaller, less advanced display screen set to come standard in the future EV. Cadillac’s OLED display is standard equipment in the Escalade.
More information on the MBUX Hyperscreen should become available following the Mercedes-Benz EQS debut later this year.

This is exactly like what Starbucks is doing with their logo. Started off at a sorta small size, got to a decent size, started to get a little bit zoomed in, and now all you can see is the mermaids face in the next few years. (It’s from a meme)
Not a huge fan of the all digital displays. Finding the right mix is the difficult part. I personally like the ct6s layout, although mine has the TouchPad and I prefer the knob. The AI and hey Mercedes will be gimmicky. If prefer a button on the steering wheel to press instead of saying hey Mercedes like a nerd.
Wife has a new GLS. The wheel has a left and right “touch” button (left for driver screen and right for center screen) that works by sliding in the direction wanted. Like swiping on a smart phone. We very rarely speak to the AI but is nice when needed. Was looking at new Escalade but the GLS is much more refined (still not perfect though).
I’m not the greatest fan of the car always listing to you. Same with my phone (which I turned off) I’m fine with just pushing a button on the steering wheel and asking it to turn up the temperature or to call someone.
Escalade’s dash is one of the best on the market. But Gm 5ucked it up when they decided to save money as usual and went with the cheap and old buttons/gear shifter.
5ucking bean counters
@Italian
I TOTALY AGREE WITH YOU. The Escalade interior is amazing besides that.
GM needs to replace the Gear selector in ALL Cadillac vehicles. I think the Lyriq has a Mercedes/Tesla style Column Shifter. I like those but better and I said GM should have been using those for their Silverado, Sierra, Yukon, Tahoe, and Slade. Makes sense since Truck customers are used to Column shifters anyways.
Like everything else another useless gimmick by German car makers. They brazenly lie, this sheet is not one 56 inches huge screen, it’s just glued couple of 30 dollar cheap chinese android screens. Also screen itself not curved at all , the so called curve at the bezels, where screens attached each other. This is a barefaced deceit. It’s not surprising they don’t give any detail about the screen(s;) no resolution, color gamut, brightness, view angle, anti-glare feature, degree of curvature… Cadillac told everything because there’s no trickery in their product like Eurotrashes do. They just sell crap with fancy words like AI. So what was that about? Well it may suggest you a favrorite screen layout!! Lol!
All german cars do this useless gimmicks to draw attention of sheeps do you remember BMW’s so-called touchless screen control. Yeah it was perfect to literally drive you mad! It was so bad i don’t even think the geman engineer who designed it endured to use one full day.
The size of the screens as the visible parts of the MBUX will vary by model, small and large.
The important part is the software behind the screens, not the hardware.
And the software is not Android, but MBUX, the user interface module of the Mercedes Benz operating system MBOS.
My 89 Corvette redone. better ?
OK lots of glitter and Blake. Lots of high tech, for the sake of high tech. My question is, how does it drive? Or, am I being old-fashioned? A fuddy-duddy as it were?
I see zero benefit to this move to huge screens in cars. Drivers are already distracted by phones, in car video, complex audio and HVAC controls and all the driver aids commin in high-end cars today. Last month I spent a week in a base-level Audi A6 and really enjoyed the large, white on black analog gauges. However the Audi replaced a traditional gas and temp gauge with a narrow band of LEDs to display level, it was hard to read and not really intuitive. My guess is while these screens look expensive, they’re actually cheaper to manufacture than nice analog components and that’s why builders are moving toward them so agressively.
Wow that looks incredibly……………..cheap and lazy. There is a limit to the size of screen people can tolerate, why not continue the screen on to the door panels? The headliner? The floor?
MBUX is just the user interface to the MBOS.
MBOS = Mercedes Benz Operating System
MBUX = Mercedes Benz User eXperience
There should be other modules :
• Interface to the drive train
• Interface to the wheels ??
Daimler CEO Ola Källenius said recently that the automobile evolves into a smart phone on wheels. And he wants Daimler to keep control with their own car operating system.
It might be that for future automobiles the software platform will be more important than the hardware platforms. In this respect, I thought that the first task for Carlos Tavares as CEO of the new corporation Stellantis should be to initiate the development of a common Stellantis OS for all their 14 brands.
Just one step closer to the entire windshield becoming a screen on a self drive car.
