Back in March we brought you some lowlight photos of the interior of the 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class interior. Though it gave us a limited glimpse at some of the details, it didn’t give us the full story.

These three newly leaked photos (by way of Leftlane News) of the all-new S-Class, while still limited, do give us a better look at the fit, finish, and details.

Looking at the dash, there are some distinctive features we’re frankly surprised to see. Just as we had seen back in March, two 12.3-inch screens take up much of the dash space. One in place of the instrument cluster with fully customizable displays and the other used as an infotainment screen, which can be controlled by the passengers.

Surrounding these wondrous looking screens is a much more stylistic dash. Round air vents and a two-spoke steering wheel hearken back to Mercedes of the 1960s and ‘70s.

The interior lines, it would seem, are nicely paired with the exterior design, which is far less blocky and bland as the last iteration and far more stylistic with muscular lines.

Since Mercedes did away with the Maybach brand, it had to step up the S-Class’ game to fill the luxury gap. Even with this limited look, we’ll say it’s done the job quite nicely. Make sure to note our dorky German friend here in the reclining backseat. The Mercedes-Benz S-Class isn’t just for driving anymore. With massaging, reclining, and heated and cooled rear seats, the S-Class is also for those who wish to be driven around.

The official debut of the S-Class is set for later this year in Germany. So check back soon for more details as they become available.

Mercedes-Benz’s brawny G-Wagen will get an electric makeover
2019 mercedes benz g550 review fullwide

The boxy, heavy Mercedes-Benz G-Class is a throwback to a bygone era, when off-road capability was more important in an SUV than connectivity or gas mileage. Yet this backward-looking Benz, known to fans as the G-Wagen, will soon get an electric powertrain.

Ola Källenius, CEO of Mercedes-Benz parent Daimler, confirmed the electric G-Wagen in a speech at the Automobilwoche Kongress in Berlin, Mercedes spokesperson Sascha Pallenberg said in a tweet. However, no other details have been given. Mercedes plan to launch 10 electric cars by the end of 2022, but it's unclear if the electric G-Class will be among them.

In latest prank, BMW ribs Mercedes-Benz with a Halloween joke
BMW Mercedes

BMW and Mercedes-Benz have had a raucous 100-year-old rivalry that disproves the old rumor that the Germans have no sense of humor. In a recent post on BMW's merchandise website, the company advertised a Halloween costume for Mercedes-Benz cars, a car cover that makes it look like a BMW M5. Although the cover will fit many non-BMW cars, the photo clearly shows a Mercedes-Benz underneath. This is just the latest salvo fired from Bavaria aimed right at the three-pointed star.

Like many great rivals throughout history, it is really fun to watch. Back in 2016 when BMW was celebrating it's 100th birthday, Mercedes posted on Facebook a congratulatory video, with a stinger at the end.
