Mercedes-Benz has introduced a new steering wheel design, which is part of their latest infotainment and driver assistance systems. Here are some key features:
- MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience): The new steering wheel is designed to work seamlessly with MBUX, the company's latest infotainment system. It features a high-resolution touchscreen display and a voice-controlled assistant.
- Touch Control: The steering wheel now features a touch-sensitive surface, allowing drivers to control various functions, such as navigation, phone, and audio settings, without taking their hands off the wheel.

- Driver Assistance Systems: The new steering wheel is designed to work in conjunction with Mercedes-Benz's advanced driver assistance systems, such as Active Distance Assist, Active Steering Assist, and Active Lane Change Assist.
- Sustainable Design: The new steering wheel is made from a combination of sustainable materials, including recycled plastics and natural fibers, reducing the environmental impact of the vehicle.
The new steering wheel design is available on select Mercedes-Benz models, including the S-Class, E-Class, and GLE. It's part of the company's ongoing efforts to create a more intuitive, connected, and sustainable driving experience.
