air suspension on W205 - Available or not? (Canada)

Hi,
On some reviews on the internet, reviewers claim W205 has either optional air suspension upgrade, or equipped with it by default.

I know air suspension is an optional upgrade on E class (Air Body Control), and default on S class (AIRMATIC). But when I try to build C class on either Canadian or US website, I don't see any upgrade for air suspension. I also only see C300 4matic, C43 4matic, C63, C63s. I don't see any other trim level.

Does C class have air suspension or not? The first Mercedes link below specifically states that C class has AIRMATIC suspension.
If C class does have air suspension, how does it differ from the air suspension provided on E class and S class?

================================================== =========
Sources claiming C class has optional air suspension:
https://www.mercedes-benz.com/en/inn...ension-system/
https://www.autotrader.com/car-revie...81474979900063
https://www.wapcar.my/news/What-is-A...sBenz-C300-979


================================================== =====================Description of "Agility Control suspension" on C class page:

Engineered specifically for performance driving, selective damping automatically adjusts the individual shock absorbers based on the road surface and the driver's current driving style. Valving inside each shock absorber automatically firms up during stronger body motions for sharper handling feedback and stability, and reduces the damping rates during gentler motions for a smoother, more composed ride.

Description of Air Body Control on E class page:
An advanced adaptive air suspension teams precise sensors and pressurized air spring-struts that respond in real time to road-surface and driving conditions. In sharp turns, the suspension firms up to boost control and cornering grip. On rough roads, it helps iron out bumps. Multiple modes let the driver vary the damping firmness and ride height when desired. And lightweight components add to the car's nimble feel anytime.

Description of AIRMATIC on S class page:

Standard AIRMATIC air suspension balances pure comfort with cornering precision. It can self-level for changing loads, adapt to challenging roads, and let you select modes to coddle your passengers or indulge your sporting desires.

You seem clever. Did you ever think of getting off the couch and visit an MB dealer for an answer to your question!

Not a very helpful reply at all, and really just comes across as rude.

Have you noticed that a lot of places have stay at home orders? Even if their area doesn't have one, it is prudent to not go out right now.
Internet forums are for these questions. Someone here might know the answer and be able to assist.

Sure, we could all call the dealer with every question that is posted on here. I'm sure they'd love that. Or we could ask fellow enthusiasts, most of whom are happy to help and share their knowledge.That way as well when someone else has the same question they just have to google 'Canada w205 air suspension' and they'll get the answer right away.

Maybe there's even some dealer people here who are browsing on their spare time and know the answer, this way they can share that information if they want, and not have to field dozens of phone calls.

With the amount of post that you have I'd have assumed you'd know this Plutoe. Hopefully you just woke up on the wrong side of the bed.

It was only available on the 2015 MY C400 before it was replaced by the C450. You can’t get it anymore.

Yeah unfortunately you have to upgrade to the AMG for airmatic now. I have a 2016 C300 and I specifically added airmatic to it, which I love.
