Key focus has been made on creating a “private lounge” for the rear passengers, that’s extensively clad in white Nappa leather. Main features include a retractable 65-inch cinema screen (that when up also acts as partition wall), a 42-speaker sound system and two airline-style seats (made with tubular cushions) that are fully reclinable.
Seven projectors are also fitted to create different ambiences, the rear windows can be switched from transparent to opaque for a “unique cocooning effect”, and there’s even a karaoke mode (one of seven that range from “gaming” to “relax”).
The concept showcases the “dawn of a new era”, says the German brand, that “sets standards in design, comfort and an immersive user experience,” adds Thomas Klein, head of Mercedes-Benz Vans.
Up front, the elements that could carry over the real machine are clear to see, such as a production-spec steering wheel, the three-screen Superscreen (to debut in the upcoming CLA) and crystal-look air vents.
