The new Mercedes Benz E-Class interior quite simply puts almost all other automotive interiors to shame. This interior design takes into account aesthetic considerations as well as the very latest technology to create a car experience that is both luxurious and classy.
The system uses a variety of high-quality materials to add to the feeling of luxury, including open-pore woods, metal fabrics and of course leather. As far as multimedia is concerned, passengers can make use of a Frontbass audio system, Burmester 3D surround system and an infotainment system that includes a pair of 12.3-inch screens that offer a resolution of 1,920 x 720 each.
This E-Class interior uses touch control buttons for controlling the infotainment, and allows drivers to control car functions without taking their hands off the wheel.
The interior is a fine example of bringing together aesthetic quality and technological control without one affecting the other in a detrimental manner.
