Yahoo Autos The 2024 Mercedes E-Class Interior Is Trying to Impress You
Mercedes has a new E-Class coming. While the luxury brand has yet to show us what its new luxury sedan is going to look like, Mercedes has released details and images of what the interior of the upcoming sedan will look like. Get ready for a luxury sedan with an interior that will have an “immersive entertainment experience.”
Visualizing Sound
Mercedes is going for a full-on sensory experience with the E-Class and its new sound system. Music lovers will be able to see, hear and feel their music. A new Active Ambient Lighting System with Sound Visualization combined with an available Dolby Atmos technology will pulse a light strip of the interior ambient lighting to the beat of whatever music is playing. Those wanting to actually feel their music will be able to do so with a Burmester 4D surround sound system with 17 speakers that use sound resonating transducers to let passengers feel the bass of the music.

Faster, Smarter Tech
Mercedes has gone with new processing power in the E-Class infotainment system to speed things up with more software than actual hardware. There’s now a single processor for system functions, while all interior screens and the MBUX system run off of a central computer. There’s also 5G capability for faster OTA (over-the-air) updates for vehicle systems.
The big news is the eventual goal of an onboard AI to automate certain simple vehicle functions. Mercedes calls these AI-enabled functions “routines”. Owners will be able to set the AI to enable these “routines” using different templates. Using an example from Mercedes: “Switch on the seat heating and set the ambient lighting to warm orange if the interior temperature is below 50 degrees.”
