Bit by bit, we’re seeing the next-generation Mercedes-Benz S-Class in its entirety. This latest crop of spy shot photos show not just a very minimally shrouded vehicle, but also some snaps of the fine interior.
We’ve already covered some of the exterior details in previous posts, but what’s interesting here is the interior furnishings. You’ll notice the redesigned steering wheel on this baby, along with some nifty details that are surely looking good. You’ve got the finish on the dash, complete with bezeled components. There are also fairly large LCD displays on the console. The styling is certainly a fusion of classic and modern Mercedes-Benz design, and should appeal to fans and prospective buyers.
The two-spoke steering wheel is different from the common four-spoke variant, and it’s got an elegant feel to it highlighted by the chrome as well as the buttons off to the side. We also see some minimalist gauges behind the wheel, helping accent the overall aesthetic of the interior while maintaining maximum functionality.
Anyway, enjoy the photos over at the gallery below.

Meanwhile, carpooling.com has platform on the Internet, smartphone apps and Facebook and they have successfully brought together ride-sharers for medium and long distance trips.
The aim of the partnership is to expand carpooling.com's platform and integrate their offers with Daimler's mobility solutions.
"We are very pleased that we were able to attract Daimler as an investor. As a leading automotive player Daimler will serve as a strong partner in further establishing the role of modern carpooling in Europe and overseas. We will be utilizing the new capital to further improve our offerings, broaden our customer service and make carpooling available to even more users worldwide,"said Markus Barnikel, CEO of carpooling.com.
On the other hand, Daimler's head of Business Innovation, Wilfried Steffen said, "We view ridesharing as an important element of intelligently networked mobility. Our engagement in carpooling.com is a logical step in offering our customers an even wider range for getting from Point A to Point B."
