How to Use the MBUX Hyperscreen in Your Mercedes Vehicle?

MBUX Hyperscreen Video Overview

If you’ve ever sat inside a Mercedes-Benz EQS and felt like you just stepped into a cockpit from the year 2035, you probably had the MBUX Hyperscreen staring back at you. This 56-inch curved glass display stretches from one side of the dashboard to the other, and it’s easily one of the most impressive pieces of in-car technology on the road today.

• The MBUX Hyperscreen combines three separate displays behind a single piece of curved glass, covering 56 inches of dashboard space with OLED technology.
• AI-powered “Zero Layer” puts the controls and information you actually need right up front, so you spend less time digging through menus.
• The Hyperscreen is currently available on the EQS Sedan, EQS SUV, EQE Sedan, and EQE SUV, with a new 39.1-inch version coming to the all-new electric GLC later in 2026.

What Makes the Hyperscreen Different

Most infotainment screens give you one display to work with. The MBUX Hyperscreen gives you three. Behind that single sheet of scratch-resistant aluminum silicate glass, you’ll find a driver display, a large central touchscreen, and a dedicated passenger display. Each one operates independently, which means your front passenger can pull up their own music, search for a restaurant, or even watch content on their side of the screen without affecting what you see as the driver.

The hardware running all of this is no joke, either. Eight CPU cores and 24 gigabytes of RAM give the system enough processing muscle to run everything smoothly. Twelve haptic actuators sit beneath the glass, so you actually feel a response when you tap a control. It’s a small detail, but it makes a big difference when you’re adjusting settings without looking away from the road.

Zero Layer and the AI Behind It

One of the smarter features built into the Hyperscreen is something Mercedes-Benz calls “Zero Layer.” Instead of burying functions inside nested menus, the system uses artificial intelligence to predict what you need based on your habits, your location, and even the time of day. If you always call someone on your drive home from work, that contact floats to the top of the display automatically. Press and hold the home button, and your most-used features appear right over your navigation screen.

The “Hey Mercedes” voice assistant ties into this too. It recognizes individual voices, so it can tell whether the driver or the passenger is speaking and respond accordingly. You can ask it to adjust the temperature, change your route, or explain a vehicle function, and it handles the request without you touching the screen at all.

Which Mercedes-Benz Models Get the Hyperscreen

The MBUX Hyperscreen first appeared in the EQS Sedan back in 2021 and has since expanded across the electric lineup. It comes standard on the EQS 580 4MATIC® Sedan and EQS 580 4MATIC® SUV. On the EQS 450+ and EQE models (sedan and SUV), the Hyperscreen is available as an option. For 2026, it’s now offered across all EQE models.

The Hyperscreen is also spreading to new models. The all-new electric GLC, arriving in the second half of 2026, will feature a redesigned 39.1-inch version built on the MB.OS platform. It comes with up to 11 selectable background styles that coordinate display colors with the ambient cabin lighting.

Entertainment and Safety Built Into the Glass

The latest MBUX 3.3 software update added movie streaming from RIDEVU by Sony Pictures in IMAX Enhanced format, Dolby Atmos audio for apps like Amazon Music and TIDAL, and gaming support on the passenger display. There’s also a smart safety feature baked in. Eye-tracking cameras monitor the driver, and if you glance at the passenger’s screen while moving, the system dims that section automatically. The passenger keeps watching, and you stay focused on the road.

How It All Comes Together Behind the Wheel

The driver display is fully customizable from the steering wheel controls. Go full-screen with navigation, pull up driver assist features, or check your range at a glance. Climate controls sit at the bottom of the central display with adjustable vents on both sides. The passenger can also share content directly with the driver’s side. Search an address on the passenger screen, tap “Let’s go,” and it sends the destination straight to the main navigation. Drag a song from the passenger’s headphones to the main audio system, and the whole cabin hears it.

That kind of interaction between the three screens is what separates the Hyperscreen from just having a really big monitor in your car.
