The Magic Behind Mercedes Active Body Control

Clearly, there’s no limit to what Mercedes-Benz will do to improve the performance of its vehicles, which explains why the cars tend to be so addictive behind the wheel.

Take, for example, the Active Body Control system equipped on Mercedes models like the SL 63 AMG, as highlighted in a recent Road and Track report.

The high-tech system, impressively detailed in the video below, features special hydraulic cylinders on top of the struts, which adjust the ride height on a vehicle to provide the necessary comfort level when driving on bumpy roads.

Mercedes’s Active Body Control system also keeps the vehicle leveled during abrupt acceleration or braking maneuvers, helping to improve overall driving performance.

So, whenever you find yourself reveling in the how a new Mercedes drives, just remember there’s a lot that goes into giving you that feeling of confidence on the road.
