Mercedes-Benz, the can manufacturing giant, has unveiled details of the all-new C-Class interior. This new sensational car will make its debut at the Detroit Motor Show in January 2014. It is likely that the gap between the S-Class and the C-Class is about to get narrower.

As is becoming increasingly common in the automotive world, strong influence has been drawn from smartphones and tablets, with Mercedes-Benz also leaning heavily on airline and aircraft references. The German firm even goes as far as claiming the new interior is like taking a step up from economy to business class.

The new C-Class is characterized inside by a completely new centre console, which itself features a brand-new free-standing central display and three “bullseye” air vents.

This 7-inch tablet-style display can be controlled via a smartphone-inspired touchpad device. It can also be upgraded to an 8.4-inch unit.

Moreover, the new C-Class will feature a “jet fighter” style head-up display, which appears to float over the bonnet, about two metres away from the driver. Information relayed will include speed, speed limits and satellite navigation directions.

Other improvements of note include a heavily revised climate control system. This features GPS technology to automatically detect when the car enters a tunnel, so it can then close the recirculation flap, keeping harmful fumes from entering the cabin. Once the C-Class leaves the tunnel, the flap will reopen.

In addition, the new C-Class will also feature “Air-Balance”—a system which recently premiered in the new S-Class. Four different fragrances are available, including Freeside, Nightime, Downtown and Sports.

Above all, the climate control system features ionisation, which generates oxygen ions to eliminate bacteria, viruses and spores.
