If you're going to put in a mini screen for the seat controls, the resolution should be higher than 160x160. Come on.

I can't believe you guys still believe that this will be on the new S-class. There is literally not even 1% chance that this is for the upcoming S-class. This video was released in 2019, for a company that offers such technologies, it's just a prototype, yet it's a prototype for the W222. The entire panel is the W222 panel. Same dimensions, same curves and same buttons!

The last thing I want in a car are more things I need to LOOK at to control. And, if those really are the new headrests, I hate them.

Pretty much on par with other leaked photos. The seat controls look very sleek. Lots of fingerprints will be on that screen. It's huge.

Body looks good, need to see those taillights. Would have liked headlight cluster to be a bit larger.

The interior will be the real game changer I feel.

The black one seems to have the AMG package, and also has flush door handles, we'll see if flush handles are a separate option I guess.

Looks like a metal roof will be available, for those who prefer that.
