2026 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Specs, Review, Performance – A 5G connection, a triple-display Superscreen, and a number of third-party apps, like as Webex, Zoom, Angry Birds, and TikTok, are features of the new E-Class.
We get our first look at the interior of Mercedes-Benz’s new 2026 E-Class, and it’s no surprise that the dashboard is crowded with screens. The new Superscreen integrates many screens into a single curved glass panel that fills the whole dashboard, in contrast to the Hyperscreen that debuted on the EQS electric car.
In addition to a powerful new central processor and 5G internet connection, the 2026 E-Class has a new third-party app store that delivers popular entertainment applications like Zoom Meetings, Angry Birds, TikTok, and more to the dashboard. 2026 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Specs
2026 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Redesign and Update Plan
Exterior & Interior
The Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) Superscreen, a triple-display model slightly smaller than the MBUX Hyperscreen, is the most notable change for the 2026 model year.
The E-Class’s digital instrument cluster, which protrudes from the main glass slab like a tablet in a toaster and provides the driver gauges and driving information in either a Sporty or Classic style, is distinctive rather than merging all three displays. Both the massive center display and the optional passenger display are fused to the main Superscreen glass panel, which stretches and arcs over the rest of the dashboard.
The passenger and cluster panels are around 12.3 inches in size, and the center display is most likely somewhat smaller than the Hyperscreen’s 17.7-inch main screen. Mercedes has not revealed the exact dimensions of the screens.
The Superscreen has a few more tricks thanks to the selfie camera that is mounted on top of the dashboard. The camera also powers the “visual shield,” which prevents the driver from becoming sidetracked by the passenger display. In order to reduce visibility from the driver’s seat, the E-Class uses dual light control display technology. The third screen appears only when it detects a human presence in the passenger seat. The camera may also record how often and for how long the driver looks to the passenger side, thereby obscuring the display from the driver’s point of view.
Following that, passengers may use new third-party applications that are available as part of an extra entertainment package to play games and watch films that have been downloaded directly to the E-Class’ onboard storage. It will begin with Angry Birds, TikTok, the Vivaldi web browser, and an entertainment platform powered by Zync that offers streaming TV, sports, news, gaming, and more. Mercedes claims that more than 30 foreign streaming services will be accessible at launch, and further collaborations are being set up for potential future inclusion.
Drivers may now use the new onboard apps on the center display when parked, in addition to using the dashboard camera to snap photos, record videos, and take part in Webex or Zoom video calls and meetings. Audio-only and collaborative calls are available when driving a motor vehicle. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto continue to be supported as standard for users who like to use their phones for navigation and to run their apps.
More dynamic ambient lighting surrounds the Superscreen, including a stunning new multicolored LED strip that extends across the top of the instrument panels and onto the doors. This enhances the broad RGB lighting in the footwells and underneath the dashboard.
By evaluating the audio that is sent into the Burmester 4D surround system, a new Sound Visualization function in the lighting enables it to pulse and ebb in rhythm with the music. Vibrating transducers in the backrests of the front seats and Dolby Atmos Spatial Audio will let drivers to see, hear, and feel the music around them. (Hopefully, it won’t be too hard to turn this off.)
More significantly, information on driving assistance may also be provided by ambient lighting. For example, localized color may help visually indicate parking distance, or ambient lighting may flash a warning when Active Brake Assist is activated.
With its zero-layer concept and AI-learned Routines, Mercedes revealed the Hyperscreen, which remembers the driver’s actions and, when necessary, shows frequently used features on the home screen. For example, if you regularly attend your children’s Tuesday afternoon soccer practice, the car may develop this habit. The E-Class now has more than 20 new “Magic Modules” that can be taught and seen on the zero-layer home screen. These modules include birthday reminders, to-do list suggestions, and active comfort modes, among other things.
Another new feature for the 2026 E-Class is the ability to manually create your own routines that are triggered when specific conditions are met. Mercedes gives examples of how an owner may use the template system to create a Date Night theme that, with a single click, plays romantic music over Bluetooth and dims the ambient lighting to rose-colored colors.
Other ideas include having the seat warmers turn on automatically when the temperature drops below a preset point and setting the ambient lighting to warm orange. It’s comparable to Apple’s Shortcuts feature in MacOS and iOS for your Mercedes.
Mercedes’ “Just Talk” voice recognition technology may now recognize requests without the “Hey, Mercedes” phrase in some situations. Simply say “turn on seat heating” or “navigate me home” to tell the car to switch on the microphone when the red indicator on the screen displays. Furthermore, users may now combine many unrelated orders into one, such “navigate me home and turn on the seat heating.”
Finally, wearable technology is used in the company’s wellness and health programs, Energizing Coach and Energizing Comfort. The automobile may employ biofeedback, which includes heart rate, sleep data, and other statistics, to recommend exercises, stress-reduction strategies, and settings that lessen fatigue after a compatible wristwatch has been linked.
The system may suggest shifting the lighting to encourage concentration, offering Energizing Coach breathing techniques to ease stress, or suggesting that the seat be pushed back to enhance posture. The device’s main screen may display the number of steps and calories burned during the day. 2026 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Specs
