MBUX Virtual Assistant: Conversational, Context-Aware, and Helpful

Multi-agent intelligence: Integrates AI from Microsoft and Google, dynamically choosing the right source for the task.
Navigation expertise: With Google Cloud’s Automotive AI Agent and Google Maps data, it provides detailed, personalized answers about routes and points of interest.
Always at hand: A “living” avatar remains present on the Zero Layer, ready to assist without breaking your flow.

MBUX Surround Navigation & Driver Confidence

Standard MBUX Surround Navigation elevates spatial awareness. The driver display merges the assistance view with a 3D depiction of the vehicle’s surroundings and your route, in real time, to support confident decision-making.

MB.OS: The Foundation for Fast, Flexible Innovation

Developed in-house, Mercedes-Benz Operating System (MB.OS) equips each vehicle with high-performance computing connected to the Mercedes-Benz Intelligent Cloud. The result is a platform that supports regular over-the-air updates for essential vehicle systems—including advanced driver assistance—so your experience keeps improving long after delivery.

Seamless content integration: MB.OS offers the flexibility to incorporate third-party apps while preserving the familiar Mercedes interface.
High-performance graphics: The optional MBUX Superscreen is powered by state-of-the-art chips and real-time rendering with the Unity Game Engine.
Electric Intelligence: For electrified models, MBUX Navigation with Electric Intelligence can plan the fastest, most convenient route—factoring in charging stops and real-world variables.

Effortless Control with Zero Layer & App Personalization

Zero Layer reduces menu diving by bringing the right functions forward automatically. When you need to customize, it feels familiar:

Move apps, group them into folders, and rename those folders—just like your favorite smartphone.
Open an app, swipe left to return to the grid, swipe again to reach the Zero Layer, or tap the home button anytime.
