Mercedes Benz Unveils 2024 E-Class Interior with Built-In TikTok and Zoom Apps

German luxury and commercial vehicle brand Mercedes Benz recently revealed the interior of its 2024 E-class, which boasts an array of exciting features such as built-in apps like TikTok, Zoom, Angry Birds, and more.

The latest version of the brand’s best-selling model comes equipped with software that allows for the installation of these apps without an in-car intermediary such as Android Auto or Apple CarPlay. Instead, more apps can be installed directly into the vehicle through over-the-air software updates.

To facilitate third-party app integration into the infotainment system, Mercedes developed a new software architecture and introduced a new app store, accessible via the Mercedes me app.

The 2024 model will also feature an updated version of the MBUX infotainment system, which serves as a precursor to Mercedes’s custom-built operating system, the MB. OS, slated for launch in the automaker’s next-generation vehicles, expected to debut in late 2024.

A web browser will also be available for download. While some car models, including Tesla’s and some other Mercedes models, already have built-in web browsers, this one will be accessible to the front passenger and available as an optional feature with a dedicated touchscreen.

According to Mercedes CEO Ola Källenius, the choice of different apps was based on a survey conducted across various regions to determine which app was most commonly used. For example, the installation of TikTok was targeted for the Asian market.

Investors King understands that one of the major upgrades in the 2024 E-Class is the Super Screen, which combines the standard central touchscreen with a second display in front of the passenger. However, unlike the EQS’s Hyper screen, the digital gauge cluster remains a standalone display.

It is worth noting that the new E-Class will be one of Mercedes’ last gas-powered cars, as the brand is poised to transition to an all-electric vehicle lineup by 2030.
