Top 5 Cars with the Biggest Infotainment Screens in the UAE

Abu Dhabi: As technology inside car cockpits has rapidly evolved, screens have become the new control center. Once a novelty, today screens are not just common but also getting bigger by the day and have quietly become as important as the engine under the bonnet and, in some cases, even more so.

Today, for most car buyers, the cabin experience is an important purchase decision. Families look for rear-seat entertainment, professionals want seamless connectivity, and enthusiasts prefer the most immersive digital cockpit money can buy. Most brands have responded in the most dramatic way possible: making their screens bigger, brighter, and smarter.

In this feature, we cover the five cars available in the UAE right now with the most impressive infotainment screen setups in 2026, across different segments and price points.

How screens evolved 

A few years ago, a 10-inch touchscreen was considered big enough. Today, that is no longer the case, and the shift accelerated quickly, partly because electric vehicles removed many of the mechanical packaging constraints that dictated where dials and buttons had to sit. Then buyers started expecting the same visual quality inside their cars that they get from their personal devices, like smartphones and televisions.

UAE buyers have been quick to notice this. The combination of tech-savvy professionals, relatively high average car spending, and long daily commutes on straight highways makes the in-car screen experience particularly relevant here.

The 5 Biggest Infotainment Screen Cars in the UAE (2026)

Model	Screen Setup	UAE Starting Price (AED)
Mercedes-Benz EQS Sedan	56-inch MBUX Hyperscreen (3 displays, 1 glass surface)	698,900
Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV	56-inch MBUX Hyperscreen (optional on 450, standard on 580)	578,900
Cadillac Escalade IQ	55-inch Horizon Display (pillar-to-pillar LED)	586,000
Cadillac Escalade (petrol)	38-inch curved OLED triptych display	446,000
Xpeng X9	17.3-inch floating central touchscreen + 10.25-inch cluster	261,900

Mercedes-Benz EQS Sedan

The Mercedes-Benz EQS Sedan features the largest infotainment display fitted to any production car sold in the UAE. The MBUX Hyperscreen is a single curved piece of glass that runs from the left A-pillar to the right A-pillar. Underneath it are three separate displays: a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster for the driver, a central 17.7-inch OLED touchscreen for infotainment, and a 12.3-inch OLED display for the front passenger, who gets their own independent screen to browse, navigate, or stream content. The total diagonal measurement across all three displays is 56 inches, making it the widest screen surface in any production car currently sold in the UAE.

The system runs on MBUX, Mercedes-Benz's artificial intelligence-based operating system. It learns your habits, and if you always call a specific contact at a certain time of day, the system can suggest that option automatically. Navigation with augmented reality overlays directions onto live camera feeds, which is particularly useful in complex interchanges around Abu Dhabi or near Downtown Dubai, where junction layouts can be confusing.

EQS Sedan infotainment highlight:

• A 56-inch curved glass Hyperscreen spanning the full dashboard width.
• The central 17.7-inch OLED display is the primary interface with haptic feedback.
• Front passenger display goes dark automatically if the driver looks at it while the vehicle is moving.
• Burmester 3D Surround Sound System as standard.
• Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto supported.
• AI-powered zero-layer interface surfaces the right functions without menu diving.
• Automatic brightness adjustment based on interior lighting conditions.

The EQS Sedan starts from AED 698,900 through Mercedes-Benz UAE's authorized dealer network, Gargash Motors in Dubai and the Emirates Motor Company in Abu Dhabi. It is the most expensive car on this list.

Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV

If the EQS Sedan's screen technology appeals to you but you need to seat seven people, the EQS SUV offers essentially the same MBUX Hyperscreen experience in a body that stands taller and carries more. It starts from AED 578,900 in the UAE, making it the more accessible route into the 56-inch Hyperscreen experience.

The EQS SUV's interior brings the same three-screen architecture under one glass surface, with the addition of a proper raised driving position and genuine seven-seat practicality.

Variant	Price (AED)	Hyperscreen
EQS SUV 450 4MATIC	578,900	Optional
EQS SUV 580 4MATIC	651,900	Standard

What sets the EQS SUV apart inside:

• Seven seats with a flat floor for easier movement between rows.
• Rear entertainment via optional individual screens, which are not included as standard.
• The MBUX Hyperscreen offers augmented reality navigation, making it particularly useful for navigating complex UAE highway interchanges.
• A WLTP driving range of up to approximately 600 km, making trips between Dubai and Abu Dhabi comfortably achievable on a full charge.
• Head-up display with navigation projection is standard on the 580 4MATIC.
• Available in a Mercedes-Maybach version for buyers looking for the ultimate luxury SUV experience.

Cadillac Escalade IQ

The Cadillac Escalade IQ arrived in the UAE in early 2026 and redefined Cadillac's flagship luxury SUV. What has always been a large, bold American luxury SUV has now become a large electric luxury SUV, and the screen inside is nothing short of extraordinary.

The 55-inch Horizon Display stretches from pillar to pillar, similar in concept to Mercedes' Hyperscreen but with Cadillac's own interpretation. It combines the digital instrument cluster and infotainment system into one uninterrupted LED surface.

The operating system is built on Google's platform, meaning Google Maps, Google Assistant, and a Google built-in apps are integrated natively rather than mirrored from a smartphone. The visual quality is sharp, the fonts are clean, and the interface feels purpose-built for the display rather than simply stretched across a larger screen.

For rear passengers opting for the Executive Second-Row Seating Package, two additional 12.6-inch personal screens fold out, turning the Escalade IQ into a rolling meeting room or entertainment suite.

Escalade IQ cabin highlights:

• A 55-inch Horizon Display is standard across all trims.
• Secondary 11-inch touchscreen below the main display for climate and ambient lighting controls.
• AKG Studio Reference audio with up to 38 speakers.
• Optional Executive Second-Row Package with 12.6-inch individual screens and massaging seats.
• Night vision using thermal imaging, useful on unlit desert roads.
• 680 hp as standard, increasing to 750 hp in Velocity Max mode.

Cadillac Escalade

The petrol-powered Escalade deserves its own mention because it solves a common problem: the desire for a large-screen experience without stepping into the price bracket of the EQS.

Starting from AED 446,000 through Cadillac Arabia in the UAE, the Escalade features a 38-inch curved OLED display stretching across nearly the entire dashboard.

The curved OLED panel is divided into three display zones: a digital instrument cluster for the driver, a large central infotainment display, and a passenger information area. Unlike the Mercedes Hyperscreen, the passenger side is not a completely independent touchscreen but forms part of the continuous curved display.

The Escalade also includes rear entertainment, with individual 12.6-inch displays mounted behind the front seats on higher trims.

Escalade screen layout 

• 38-inch curved OLED display as standard.
• Available rear-seat entertainment screens.
• Available AKG Studio audio with up to 36 speakers.
• Google built-in on newer model-year variants.
• Naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8 for buyers not yet ready to switch to electric.
• Still one of the most recognizable full-size luxury SUVs on UAE roads.

The petrol Escalade is available through Cadillac Arabia showrooms in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah. Both the standard-wheelbase and long-wheelbase ESV models remain popular among UAE buyers.

Xpeng X9

The XPENG X9 is quite different from everything else on this list. It is neither a sedan nor an SUV. Instead, it is a full-size electric MPV that seats seven in a 2-2-3 configuration, bringing a level of interior technology that even some established European brands are only beginning to match.

At the center of the cockpit is a 17.3-inch floating infotainment touchscreen, large enough to make an immediate visual impression. It is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 processor, which keeps the interface responsive even when multiple functions are running simultaneously. Paired with a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, the overall layout feels like a properly integrated digital cockpit rather than simply attaching a large screen to a conventional dashboard.

The X9 is available in the UAE from AED 261,900 through XPENG's official UAE distributor, Gargash Motors, making it considerably more accessible than the European and American luxury models featured above. At that price, it undercuts the EQS SUV by a significant margin while offering a cabin experience that genuinely competes in terms of technology and visual appeal.

What makes the X9 particularly relevant for UAE buyers is its MPV layout. Large families, school-run duties, chauffeur services, and business users who need maximum passenger space will appreciate an interior that few rivals at this price point can match.

Xpeng X9 screen and tech highlights:

• 17.3-inch floating infotainment touchscreen powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 processor.
• 10.25-inch fully digital instrument cluster.
• Three-zone climate control with rear touchscreen controls.
• Electric sliding doors, a standout feature for tight UAE parking spaces.
• XPENG's XNGP advanced driver assistance system.
• Up to 702 km CLTC driving range (actual real-world range will be lower).
• Seven-seat 2-2-3 layout with genuinely usable third-row accommodation.
• Five-star Euro NCAP safety rating.

The Xpeng X9 is sold in the UAE through Xpeng's authorized dealer network, which has been expanding in Dubai and Abu Dhabi throughout 2025 and 2026 as the brand grows its regional presence.

Conclusion 

Clearly, large screens have become a way of life for car owners today. They are an extension of digital life outside the home and have also become a huge factor in car purchase decisions, and brands know it well. With the advent of digital technologies and the internet, these screens are no longer just fancy-looking objects but also control almost all vehicle functions, which makes them an essential part of the modern driving experience. This list covers the biggest infotainment screens available on the UAE market right now; however, screens of all sizes are now available across different segments, price points, and vehicle categories. That also means screens are now an integral part of the cockpit in today's modern automobile.
