2014CL600

I spoke with some who swears that he knows all about ABC suspensions and his CL 550 has the "Real ABC" suspension not the "Airmatic" one . I think he might be mistaken as to what came on the CL 550 vs the CL 600. I didn't think "ANY" CL 550 came with the ABC but a version of it, which was "AIRMATIC" not the real ABC which is (Electro/Hydraulic). Now, I may be wrong and I just want to clarify the point. I know 00-06 CL came standard with the "REAL" (Electro/Hydraulic) system but CL's (W216) all came with ABC, "Airmatic",still for some reason they called them, "ABC" and only the 600 series used the real "ABC" system. Am I correct or incorrect? I do know for a fact as of 11-14, all 550's came with 4matic, so you could not get a real "ABC" system but basically the "Airmatic" system only. Where the rear wheel drive cars like the 600 and 65 were standard with the "ABC" (Electro/Hydraulic systems). Please set me straight if I am wrong.

I hope your not talking about a pm message I sent you concerning CL's. I remember writiing you that I had just traded in my SL550 which had the ABC hydraulic suspension and that I know what the hydraulic suspension is vs the airmatic. If I inadvertenly wrote CL, where I meant SL......then sorry 'bout that. A slip of the finger only.

If this post of your has nothing to do with a pm b/t the two of us, then just ignore this reply.

CL550 4Matic is Airmatic
CL550 comes with Airmatic and ABC is a option
CL600 is ABC
CL63 and Cl65 are ABC

It is not possible to have ABC with 4Matic

So, 07-10 could have had an ABC suspension? I never saw that in the option's list. How did they list it? What was the package or option code that you had to buy to get the ABC suspension?

All W216 vehicles WITHOUT 4Matic came with ABC as standard.
