LA MOTOR SHOW: Mercedes unveils next-gen CLS dash
Second teaser of Audi A7 rival shows analogue dials will be junked for single one-piece screenMercedes-Benz has released its second teaser of its all-new, next generation CLS-Class that will introduce new tech to the German car maker.
The new image of the Audi A7 rival reveals the third-gen CLS will come with a huge single screen instrument panel, instead of the current E-Class' twin 12.3-inch screens.
Some suggest the new screen will also be curved and will offer resolution well beyond the current car maker's dash.
Above and below the virtual cockpit screen, which will be completely customisable, it looks like the German car maker has incorporated red mood lighting.
Instead of using wood, glossy carbon-fibre is employed for the dash, while Mercedes' familiar four rotary vents carry over.
Over the weekend, Mercedes teased the CLS coupe-sedan's sporty nose, hinting that the manufacturer will lift some styling cues from the Mercedes-AMG GT.
Under the bonnet, there will be yet more innovation. The stylish sedan will introduce AMG's new '53' performance hybrid and Benz's 48-volt mild hybrid tech.
More teases are expected leading up to the LA motor show opening next week.
