In the realm of luxury sedans, the 2024 Mercedes S-Class S580e 4matic stands out for its innovative suspension systems, offering unparalleled comfort, agility, and safety on the road.

2024 Mercedes S-class

Elevated Comfort and Control

Equipped with standard Airmatic air suspension with adaptive dampers, the S-Class delivers a refined comfort and smooth ride quality, effortlessly gliding over various road surfaces while minimizing noise and vibrations. Within the AIRMATIC® air suspension system, the Adaptive Damping System (ADS) continuously fine-tunes ride quality and handling by automatically choosing from four damping profiles for each spring-strut whenever a wheel alters its up-down movement. Additionally, you can personalize the handling response and ride firmness according to your driving preferences through selectable Comfort and Sport modes.

Innovative Safety Features

Innovative safety features such as rear-seat airbags and an active suspension system further enhance the S-Class’s safety credentials. Next, the E-Active Body Control is designed to operate alongside the Pre-Safe Impulse Side system, which lifts the entire body by up to 8 centimetres (3.15 inches) just before a side collision occurs. This enhancement in occupant protection is achieved by redirecting the impact towards the stronger structures located in the lower section of the S-Class vehicle.

Moreover, sophisticated side radar sensors detect and monitors potential crashes in advance, allowing the advanced suspension system to respond swiftly. This rapid response is made possibly by the 48-volt electrification system and an innovative motor/pump unit. Hence, The active suspension can lift the car to mitigate collision damage, providing added protection for occupants in the event of an accident. We have already seen these techs on the new GLE and GLS and just like on these burly SUVs, they will be optional even on the S-class.

Adaptive Ride Height Adjustment

The S-Class’s AIRMATIC® suspension systems are equipped with advanced technology that constantly monitors road conditions and adjusts damping and ride height accordingly. This level of adaptability ensures a confident and composed driving experience, whether navigating tight turns or cruising on the highway.

To ensure a smooth and comfortable driving experience, the AIRMATIC® semi-active suspension utilizes electronically controlled air springs that adapt to varying driving situations. Through reengineered components, the system delivers faster response times while reducing overall weight. Additionally, AIRMATIC incorporates automatic 4-wheel level control to counterbalance added weight from cargo or passengers. Moreover, it lowers the vehicle’s ride height at higher speeds to enhance aerodynamics, stability, and fuel efficiency.

4matic All-Wheel Drive

No matter the time of year or type of road, having 4MATIC® all-wheel drive can boost your assurance. Constantly active and fine-tuning torque distribution to each wheel, 4MATIC works alongside ESP®, our standard Electronic Stability Program, to excel in corners and on slick surfaces. Additionally, it features our 4-wheel Electronic Traction System (4-ETS®), which detects early indications of wheel slip and promptly adjusts torque delivery to the wheels with the most traction, even if it’s just one wheel.

Dynamic Select

The console is equipped with a multimode drive program selector, enabling you to instantly change the car’s behavior. There are four modes available (ECO, Comfort, Sport, and Sport+), each adjusting throttle response, shift timing, steering feel, and AIRMATIC® suspension settings. Furthermore, a fifth mode, “Individual,” permits you to customize your own mode, including the option to set the transmission for manual gear shifts.

With its advanced suspension systems, the 2024 Mercedes S-Class S580e 4matic sets a new standard for luxury and performance in the sedan segment. From its smooth ride quality to its dynamic handling capabilities, the S-Class offers a driving experience that is both luxurious and exhilarating, reaffirming its position as a leader in automotive innovation and engineering.
