The last 7 of January, Mercedes presented the new MBUX Hyperscreen, an evolution of the well-known system of MBUX infotainment, a screen that the new luxury sedan will initially have Mercedes EQS which will be presented at the end of this year and will be part of the range of vehicles EQ from Mercedes-Benz, that is, those that are 100% electric.
What characterizes the MBUX Hyperscreen system?
What immediately comes into view MBUX Hyperscreen is the dimensions of the screen since it covers the entire dashboard from end to end of the A-pillars of the vehicle, housing the side air conditioning vents.
Without a doubt, a screen that has never been seen in other vehicles and that lays the foundations for what from now on will be the infotainment system of Mercedes-Benz.
Why is the MBUX Hyperscreen presented for the first time in the Mercedes EQS?
The EQ range has been used in models such as the already known EQC to give visibility to Mercedes-Benz's cutting-edge technology. For this reason and taking into account what the EQS inspires for all Mercedes lovers, it will be presented as a first in this model, although we are sure that this is only the first step and it will end up being mounted on other Mercedes models. the EQ range.
What makes it different from the previous MBUX?
The new design of the Mercedes-Benz MBUX differs from the rest in that The long edge-to-edge screen allows the co-pilot to take control of the controls whenever they want with complete ease.. In this way, the co-pilot is made a participant in some of the vehicle's functionalities, being able to decide the temperature of the vehicle or the music he wants to listen to, among other options.
Furthermore, and as expected, the new MBUX system is smarter than the previous one and continues to learn as time goes by and interacts with the user.

The MBUX Hyperscreen is divided into three parts, the pilot part shows engine functionalities and its status, in the central part we find the “zero layer”, a revolutionary new screen that takes special prominence as it allows the driver or co-pilot to make decisions quickly and easily since it does not require scrolling or giving voice commands to navigate the submenus.
This screen, called zero layer, allows the user to access the most important functionalities such as the telephone or navigation.
Finally, on the right side we find the third screen. A screen reserved for the co-pilot and with which he can see some of the functions in use of the vehicle. This side of the screen It will only be operational when the co-pilot is detected, otherwise it will turn off and display a wallpaper to avoid possible distractions for the driver..
