Mercedes' big hyperscreen
Mercedes unveiled an electric C‑Class with a dashboard‑spanning MBUX Hyperscreen — roughly 10 million pixels — plus ambient lighting, massage seats and 4D sound as part of the interior package.

Mercedes-Benz used the first official look at its electric C-Class interior to show a dashboard-wide screen wall, not a stripped-down electric cabin. (media.mbusa.com) Mercedes-Benz said on April 16 that the all-new electric C-Class will make its world premiere in South Korea on April 20, 2026. The company called the pillar-to-pillar MBUX Hyperscreen optional and said it carries about 10 million pixels. (media.mbusa.com) The company also said buyers can choose a smaller MBUX Superscreen setup instead of the full Hyperscreen. Mercedes paired the screen reveal with 10 ambient-light themes, optional door-panel lighting, and front seats with massage, ventilation, and electro-pneumatic four-way lumbar support. (automotiveworld.com) Mercedes is putting those features into one of its most important nameplates. The company said the C-Class has been one of its best-selling model series for decades, and this is the first all-new electric version. (media.mbusa.com) The interior pitch also shows how Mercedes is selling this car before full performance numbers are public. In its preview materials, the company emphasized cabin space, personalization, seat comfort, sound, and display technology alongside the electric powertrain. (media.mbusa.com) Mercedes said the electric C-Class has more interior room than any previous C-Class, helped by a flat floor, a panoramic glass roof, and a new electric platform. The company also said it fitted a multi-source heat pump and offered a vegan-certified interior package, following the electric GLC. (automotiveworld.com) The screen itself is an evolution of hardware Mercedes already uses in higher-end electric models. Mercedes-Benz USA says the MBUX Hyperscreen stretches 56 inches across the dash under one curved glass surface and combines driver, center, and front-passenger displays. (mbusa.com) Mercedes said the passenger display uses matrix backlighting so the front passenger can view separate content without distracting the driver. Physical controls have not disappeared entirely: preview reports show steering-wheel and center-console controls remain, though fewer than before. (autonews.autoua.net) The company’s comfort package goes beyond screens. Mercedes said the front seats can sync with the optional Burmester 4D surround-sound system, which uses exciters in the seats so occupants can feel parts of the audio as vibrations. (media.mbusa.com) Full specifications, pricing, and market rollout details are expected at the April 20 world premiere. For now, Mercedes has made the electric C-Class look like a luxury-tech cabin first and an electric transition second. (electrek.co)
