S-Class (W223) Mercedes-Benz S-Class (W223) Facelift 2024

It's hard to understand these people. BMW even used similar interiors in the 5 and 7 series. I'm sure non-car enthusiasts would have a hard time telling them apart. The G11 and G30 were very similar. In fact, the F10 and F01 shared the exact same interior. Isn't this even more tragic than the fact that entry-level cars are identical? These cars were produced in a time when cost wasn't a primary concern.

So what? No one is talking about the previous generation models, and neither saying those were great decisions. G11 basically looked like a more premium 5-Series, both inside and out, which is not an acceptable thing for a 7er. That’s the main reason why it got drastically different from the other models and basically became a budget Rolls-Royce Ghost. Same applies to the 3er and 5er too. F30 had a very dated looking interior, especially compared to the W205.
2015-2019 was the golden era for the Mercedes’ design. There’s a reason why they were the leader of that time period. It all went downhill afterwards. And unfortunately looking at the past and bringing up old stuff doesn’t change the current situation.

It's not really though. BMW has at various points had the same "interior style" all the way through it's lineup. And you're going to see it again when the panoramic idrive system sets the tone for future debuts. I've willingly bought multiple BMWs and noticed it, and didn't complain about it either. It was familiar.

You'd be hard pressed to tell which one is the 7-series and which one is the 5-series at first glance.

3-series vs. X5. These all seem to be of the same interior style. Who cares? With the dizzying amount of models these brands have for sale, you're going to see the style a lot. I don't think this is a uniquely MB thing at all.

Well they better do something different with the NK interiors because I don’t want to see the same design over and over again. Curious how they’re gonna adapt that in the 7er. It’ll either look great or straight up sh*t.

What really needs to be considered is how different NK-shaped cabins can be. It will be interesting to see.

So this discussion was unnecessary.

The NK interiors are all gonna have the lozenge central screen and not-HUD panoramic HUD.
