The fifth-generation Mercedes-Benz E-Class will be unveiled at January's Detroit show before going on sale in the spring and receives an interior derived from the larger S-Class
Mercedes-Benz has released a video of its next-generation E-Class undergoing testing ahead of its scheduled unveiling at the Detroit motor show in January.In the video, the fifth-generation E-Class is seen practically undisguised for the first time.This comes after Mercedes revealed the interior of new E-Class. Key among the innovations applied to the BMW 5 Series, Audi A6 and Jaguar XF rival is the adoption of the same digital dashboard technology already in use in the S-Class. However, whereas the current S-Class has two separate screens in a dual-display layout, the new E-Class uses two 12.3in displays housed within a single unit, which dominates the cabin.The new system is fully configurable by the driver, and Mercedes’ Comand infotainment software has been significantly upgraded to match. Drivers can choose from three themes - dubbed Classic, Sport and Progressive - each of which alters the look of the instrument cluster, as well as adjusting the content shown in each display.
