Mercedes-Benz VISION AVTR: The Vision of Tomorrow’s Next Big Thing

Where human and machine merge.

The VISION AVTR is a truly immersive experience that combines interior, exterior and UX design on an unprecedented scale. The vehicle recognises the driver by their heartbeat and breathing, creating a biometric connection between the two. The traditional steering wheel is replaced by a multifunction control element in the centre console, that comes to life with a single touch. The curved display module increases the driver’s awareness of their environment, while the distinctive inside-out design connects the structure to the living being within. With its intuitive and organic design language, the VISION AVTR offers a visionary outlook on the design of the future – where human, machine and nature are one.

Stretched “One Bow” design

Refined vegan DINAMICA® leather interior seating

Ergonomic design with intuitive functions at the palm of your hands

A masterpiece of efficiency.

Sustainability is key in the VISION AVTR, reinforcing the link between humans and nature in a way that’s never been seen before. Revolutionary materials like vegan DINAMICA® leather – made from recycled clothing and PET bottles – seamlessly combine luxury with sustainability. While the powerful organic battery is 100% recyclable and can be fully charged in just 15 minutes. Add to this the reptilian ‘bionic flaps’, the intuitive connection to the driver and the ability to move sideways in a crab-like movement thanks to individually-controlled wheels, and it’s easy to see how the VISION AVTR is both inspired by, and considerate of nature.
