Mercedes SL 2021 - 2022 Review, Photos, Exhibition, Exterior and Interior

The new Mercedes SL will feature a “hyperanalogue” cockpit, inspired by the original 300 SL Roadster of the 1950s. Unveiling the new SL roadster’s interior in a series of pictures, we can already see the latest Mercedes will feature a “driver focused” interior that will centre around a large, adjustable display in the centre console, plus the brand’s MBUX infotainment system. Mercedes describes the hyperanalogue concept as a mix of “analogue geometry and digital work”, highlighted in the SL’s fully digital instrument cluster, which is integrated into a three-dimensional, aviation-inspired panel alongside air vents referred to as galvanised turbine nozzles.Despite this, Mercedes’ designers say the cockpit design is driver-focused. The 12.3-inch instrument display is not freestanding, but integrated into a visor to prevent sunlight reflections when the car’s roof is down. A large 11.9-inch touchscreen sits in the centre console ahead of the NACA-duct inspired design as found in the AMG GT and GT 4-Door. The screen angle can be adjusted electrically, allowing a more vertical position, again to avoid the driver being distracted by sunlight reflections. The SL’s MBUX system is a version of that found in the Mercedes S-Class, but with a number of AMG-specific features, including the more overtly sporting Performance and Track Pack modes.
