Ahead of its official debut on April 19, Mercedes-Benz shared a first look at the interior of the 2023 EQS SUV. As you can see from the photos provided by the automaker, Mercedes hasn’t reinvented the interior design language. As before, the most eye-catching feature is the optional 56-inch MBUX hyperscreen that spans the entire front cockpit of the car. It includes a 12.3-inch OLED display that allows the front passenger to view video content while the vehicle is in motion. If the on-board camera detects that the driver is stealthily looking at the display, the screen will automatically dim to re-focus on the road.

The interior of the salon is made of wood and leather, which creates the atmosphere of a “living room”. Mercedes will allow customers to customize the interior in seven different color combinations. It will also offer optional third row seats and an electrically adjustable second row, allowing the EQS SUV to carry up to seven people. Other notable features include a Dolby Atmos sound system and an air filtration system that includes a HEPA filter to keep pollen and dust out of the cabin.
Mercedes also announced today that it will manufacture batteries for its EQS SUVs (and EQE SUVs) at its newly opened battery plant in Bibb County, Alabama, creating up to 600 jobs. The company will assemble the car at its old plant in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
