2021 Mercedes S Class Extreme Testing

With five multi-core processors, more than 20 sensors and the use of the stereo camera, the E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL suspension (optional) responds predictively to different driving situations:

Fully-active suspension on a 48-volt basis, with very wide variation of handling characteristics in the different driving modes
The system's control units analyse the driving situation 1000 times per second, and adapt the suspension accordingly
E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL regulates the damping and spring forces individually at each wheel, and not only counters body roll, pitch and lift
In the COMFORT driving mode, ROAD SURFACE SCAN uses the stereo multi-purpose camera (SMPC) to monitor the road surface ahead of the vehicle. The spring struts are then actuated to greatly reduce body movements when crossing road bumps
In CURVE driving mode the vehicle actively leans into bends. The leaning function and comfortable suspension setup greatly benefit ride comfort, while passengers with a sensitive stomach feel particularly well
E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL enables a new PRE-SAFE® function when a lateral collision threatens (see below)
