So, if MB is now offering MBUX and touch screen in their ultra cheapie (but excellent!) Sprinter van line, I'm startin' to feel increasingly optimistic that the MY2020 G63 will also upgrade to MBUX with touch screen. For those of us who ordered our G63's too late (e.g., Oct 2018), we may have the last laugh. It's called MBUX, baby! I din't even mention wireless charging. Fingers crossed...
The all new infotainment system
Make trips more enjoyable with The new Sprinter's multitude of sophisticated MBUX infotainment optional features, including 7" and 10.25" touchscreens, wireless charging, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, and Sirius Satellite Radio. The MBUX touchscreen offers users unprecedented control and easy to use features that will make a day on the job anything but boring.
If my G63 arrives as a MY2019 with the oh, so long in the tooth CS, or if they implement MBUX with TS in MY2020, so be it. I will be a happy camper, either way!
MBUX will be available in 2-3 years for the G. Never a model adopted a new interface after a year. MBUX require a lot of technical changes, and their are also limited by the screen supplier. Remember the shortage of LED 12.3 screen when first came out for the E-class. With the all new GLE, GLS, GLB, EQC that have MBUX i see no reason for G upgrade until 2022 production model. Just saying with my 14 MB experience
Soon: 2020 G63 Currently: 2016 GLE63 SUV + 97 F250HD, Before: 2013 G550, Range Rover Sport, 1984 CJ7
I love how the touch pad looks, but I am not very interested i a touch screen. I find it impossible to use while driving, I hit a bump and find that I hit 7 wrong buttons and the music is turned up to an 11. Its great you can use all the other inputs to control it (no touch screen fat fingering). I would not wait to chase the technology. It's cool, but 3 years behind it will be the next thing.
I’ve just been reading an article re the launch in India of the diesel variant and they say it has MBUX and HUD ???? ... I think anybody who’s ordered/ spoke to dealers have all been told an absolute bunch of rubbish at some point re these cars.
Here it is...

Yeah, I think the article is wrong.
1. There's no space on the dash for a HUD
2. The HVAC is currently 3-zone. It'd take a ton of rework to make it 4.
3. Unlikely MBUX gets added mid model year (then again, so was a mid year price change...)
Guessing someone copy/pasted from something on a GLE or GLS

The all new infotainment system
Currently my cars do everything I need them to. Not interested on reading restaurant reviews on my dash or surfing the web.
