This suspension featuring a selective, passive damping system delivers well-balanced driving comfort by optimising roll characteristics, damping and stabilisation in line with road conditions.

Stroke-dependent damping reduces the damping effect in response to small jolts and improves ride comfort and tracking. Passive damping provides greater vehicle stability when it experiences larger jolts on poor road surfaces.

What would happen if your vehicle could adapt automatically to your driving style? It would reduce damping for a relaxed driving style. If you were driving quickly, it would stiffen up the shock absorbers and stabilise the car. Automatic personalisation doesn't get any better.

This suspension system, which has a selective passive damping system, provides all-round ride comfort on any road surface. The vehicle is lowered by 15 millimeters, improving handling on bends in particular, and giving the vehicle a sportier look.

Your Mercedes-Benz does exactly what you want it to do: You can influence the major components – the drive system and chassis – and make every journey a unique experience.

The AGILITY SELECT switch lets you select particularly comfortable, sporty, efficient – or fully customised – handling characteristics with a simple finger tap. Parameters such as the characteristics of the engine, transmission, suspension and steering system are adapted in line with the selected drive mode.

Select from five drive modes, covering everything from comfortable to sporty and efficient. The standard setting is the balanced and consumption-optimised "Comfort" mode.

The drive mode "Sport" with more progressive steering response delivers greater agility and dynamic performance thanks to "sporty firm" suspension tuning (with AIRMATIC), spontaneous throttle response and modified shift points (with 7G-TRONIC PLUS). Sports performance can be further enhanced in "Sport+" mode,. where suspension and drive system are tuned even more dynamically.

The "Eco" drive mode is designed to keep fuel consumption to a minimum. This includes modifying accelerator response and shift points (with 7G-TRONIC PLUS). The output of equipment such as seat heating, rear window heating or air conditioner are also adapted.

Experience the Mercedes-Benz driving sensation five times over – in just one vehicle! With the AIRMATIC Agility Package in the new Mercedes-Benz C-Class Saloon.

The combination of AIRMATIC air suspension with the AGILITY SELECT switch allows you to create a driving experience to suit your needs or preferences. Four different drive modes are available at the touch of a button – very comfortable, sporty, very sporty and efficient. You can create a setting to suit you.

In combination with variable damper control, the air suspension system ensures ride comfort and dynamic handling at a very high level. The damping system adjusts to the actual driving and road conditions at each wheel. This is carried out quickly and precisely through two separate valves, for the pull and thrust movements in the dampers.

The passengers enjoy a basic suspension that is soft and, as the speed increases, a secure feeling from the high level of driving stability. The AIRMATIC system can be set to be more comfortable or sportier using the "Comfort" and "Sport" settings. The pneumatic all-round self-levelling system keeps the vehicle body level constant, independently of the load it is carrying.

It can be raised by 25 millimeters to give greater ground clearance. At high speeds, the vehicles lowers itself by up to 15 millimeters, to reduce wind resistance and further increase stability.

Four drive modes can be selected and engaged using the AGILITY SELECT switch in the centre console. The driver can see the operating status in the instrument cluster and the head unit. The control units involved receive the drive mode instruction and execute the settings for the configured parameters in each case. The drive mode activated is shown as the status in the instrument cluster and head unit as a pop-up display message shown for approx. five seconds.

Individual parameters can also be adjusted in the pre-configured drive modes using the buttons for these partial functions. This applies, for example, to the ECO start/stop function or the setting for the vehicle level. A subsequent change of drive mode triggers a change to the settings for the mode in question.

The driver can select the settings for the individual parameters in the "Individual" mode in a configuration menu in the head unit via the Controller in the centre console. This allows the driver to combine, for example, comfortable, light-touch steering with a sporty, harder setting for the AIRMATIC.
