A New Era of the Iconic Grille  

Mercedes-Benz has unveiled a fresh chapter in its design evolution, and the Vision Iconic leads that journey. Its most striking feature is a reinterpretation of one of the brand’s most historic elements, the radiator grille. Drawing inspiration from classics like the W 108, W 111, and the legendary 600 Pullman, the grille pairs a wide chrome frame with a smoked-glass lattice and contour lighting. The result is a face that blends heritage with digital modernity while introducing illuminated elements, including a radiant standing star on the hood. First previewed on the all-new electric GLC, this renewed grille symbolizes confident identity and unmistakable presence.  

Lighting That Sparks Emotion  

The Vision Iconic elevates lighting into a true design language. Its upright, expressive grille incorporates high-tech pixel graphics and animated lighting that add personality and emotion. Slim, modern headlights bring sharp precision to the front fascia, while the deep black high-gloss finish accentuates the body’s sculptural lines. These visual cues work together to give the show car a dramatic, unforgettable stance, one that truly answers the question: what makes the Mercedes-Benz Vision Iconic stand out?

Inside: Hyper-Analog Meets Lounge Luxury  

Step inside, and the Vision Iconic transforms expectations for future travel. With automated driving shaping the road ahead, the interior focuses on relaxation, artistry, and digital-meets-analog beauty. The standout “Zeppelin” floating glass structure on the instrument panel introduces a cinematic, chronograph-inspired animation that greets occupants as the doors open.  

An elegant mix of Art Deco influences, mother-of-pearl inlays, polished metals, and rich blue velvet creates a lounge-like atmosphere. A pillar-to-pillar screen integrates advanced tech while preserving the handcrafted feel of the cabin. Even the steering wheel, featuring a floating Mercedes-Benz emblem inside a glass sphere, adds a jewelry-like detail. The straw marquetry flooring, shaped in a classic fan pattern, brings a rare historic decorative technique into the modern day.
