Following a release earlier in the morning today, Mercedes-Benz has also dropped a few new videos on the upcoming next-generation S-Class, including an overview of the interior and two teaser clips, which you can check out below. [Updated]
As part of the buildup for the 2021 S-Class’ September 2 unveiling, Mercedes-Benz today provides a second detailed look at the flagship sedan’s interior.
While last month the automaker released the first photos and details of the second-generation MBUX infotainment system that debuts on the new S-Class, now it focuses on the model’s luxury and well-being features.
Mercedes describes the interior of the 2021 S-Class as a “third place”, which is a refuge between home and workplace. The cabin is said to offer a “feel-good ambience with lounge character marked by elegance, high quality and lightness.”

From a styling standpoint, Mercedes says the cabin is influenced by interior architecture and yacht design elements. Besides the five displays, highlights include the large trim elements in the dashboard and in the rear (with the optional First Class rear suite). For example, customers can choose a yacht-inspired open-pore wood veneer permeated by form-following inlays made of real aluminum.
New design elements also include the four low-profile center vents with horizontally mounted adjusters, two slim vertical side vents, new seat generation with flowing, three-dimensional design, and new steering wheel generation with goblet-shaped accommodation.
Another interior highlight of the 2021 S-Class is the new active ambient lighting system integrated into the driving assistance and Energizing Comfort systems. It is able to underpin alerts visually and offers feedback when operating the climate control system or the ‘Hey Mercedes’ voice assistant.
The Mercedes-Benz S-Class never lacked interior space and the new one makes no exception. According to the automaker, nearly all comfort-related dimensions of both the short- and long-wheelbase S-Class have been improved for all passengers. Therefore, sense of space is “accordingly generous.” There are up to five rear seat variants available: two and three seats, reclining seat function, folding center armrest or business center console.
High ride quality and low noise levels also characterize the 2021 S-Class, along with an extensive range of Energizing Comfort programs. For example, at the touch of a button or by voice command, creates an invigorating atmosphere in case of fatigue or relaxing in case of an elevated stress level. There’s even an Energizing Coach function which suggests an appropriate fitness or wellness program based on vehicle and trip data.
The luxury saloon is also equipped with an air filtering system named Energizing Air Control, effective against fine dust, pollen and odors. As before, an Air-Balance Package with ionizer offers two special S-Class fragrances.
