The 2026 S-Class flagship sedan sets a new benchmark for automotive luxury, enveloping occupants in an environment crafted from the finest materials. Key standard and available luxury features that will enhance the driving experience for MacDonalds Highlands and Boulder City drivers include:
The 2026 E-Class Sedan sets a new standard for intelligent luxury, integrating a suite of sophisticated technologies that enhance connectivity for Southern Highlands and Green Valley drivers. Central to its digital cockpit is the Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) multimedia system. The latest generation of the MBUX system is standard on the E-Class (as it is on the S-Class) and provides an advanced user experience. It features digital displays, a touchscreen, touch-sensitive controls, and an intelligent voice-control system that uses natural language recognition. This voice control system continuously learns user habits, becoming smarter over time. Furthermore, MBUX now enables enhanced personalization with the easy creation of multiple user profiles, which can be configured directly in the vehicle or via a smartphone.
Exclusive to the 2026 E-Class Sedan is the optional MBUX Superscreen. This expansive glass surface spans the dashboard, housing the central 14.4-inch multimedia touchscreen along with a 12.3-inch front-passenger entertainment display.
The Mercedes-Benz E-Class Sedan focuses on driver comfort and engagement through advanced features. Its driver-facing camera utilizes MBUX to adapt vehicle systems and settings, including pre-positioning the driver's seat and mirrors based on the driver's height. Furthermore, its eye-tracking capability works with the ATTENTION ASSIST® system to detect driver drowsiness and distraction, adjusting displays and interior lighting to help maintain the driver's focus on the road.
The multifunction steering wheel, offered with both the e-Class and S-Class, enhances the driving experience with integrated Touch Control buttons for seamless access to audio, Bluetooth®, and cruise control settings. This design incorporates four touch-sensitive pads, similar to smartphone interfaces, that provide direct control over numerous cockpit features. The upper touchpads manage the menus on both the gauge cluster and the central multimedia display. Meanwhile, the larger, lower touchpads allow drivers to easily adjust their cruising speed or audio volume, all without removing their hands from the wheel.
The S-Class excels in offering an enhanced ride for rear seat passengers with optional rear seat package features, such as:
