2027 Mercedes-Benz CLA Interior and MBUX Technology
The 2027 Mercedes-Benz CLA is the first vehicle to run fully on MB.OS, Mercedes-Benz’s in-house operating system, which launches the 4th generation of MBUX (Mercedes-Benz). Artificial intelligence from Microsoft and Google is built into the displays, touch controls and voice assistant (Mercedes-Benz USA). Over-the-air updates keep the software current throughout ownership.
A zero-layer design keeps navigation, media and climate on the top level of the screen, so there’s no hunting through submenus. Facial recognition signs each driver into their own profile. A new steering wheel replaces touch buttons with physical rocker and roller controls (Mercedes-Benz USA). Learn how MBUX works and explore the Mercedes-Benz App.

What Can the MBUX Virtual Assistant Do?
