Anyone else get told as a kid that if they sat too close to the TV screen, they’d get square eyes? Well, perhaps that wasn’t a common saying in Germany, because Mercedes continues to go all-in on monstrous infotainment screens.

What you’re looking at above is the interior of the upcoming new C-Class. Yep, Merc’s heartland car is getting the pillar-to-pillar MBUX Hyperscreen as an option. Yeesh.

“You need big screens,” former Merc design boss Gorden Wagener told TG last year as he slated Audi’s minimalist Concept C interior. But yeah, this is a really big screen. Merc says in the new, electric C-Class it features “innovative matrix backlight technology with almost ten million pixels and independently adjustable brightness zones”. Of course it does.

We’re also told a “large trim element dynamically connects the centre console and the instrument panel into one harmonious composition”, but really the cockpit is all about the digital displays. Heck, even the panoramic roof now has 162 illuminated stars built in.

Apparently there’s also more interior space than in any previous C-Class though, and the new ‘high-end seats’ feature heating, ventilation, a massage function across the whole of the backrest and 4D sound. Pretty cool.

There’s also leather trim as standard, plus fancier Nappa leather if you spec the sports seats. Or, for those not wanting any cowhide, much like in the new GLC there’s also the option of a vegan interior that’s certified by The Vegan Society. ‘Deep black’, ‘warm beech brown’ and ‘stylish ivory beige’ are your colour options for inside, and as ever you can have extra wood or carbon trim depending on the spec. There’s also the option of a Burmester surround sound stereo.

What do you think to the sheer volume of screen in a C-Class, readers?
