E400 Sports Tuned Suspension?

The e400 has "Sports Tuned Suspension" as part of the sports package.

Wondering:
1. Can this be turned off to a normal/comfort ride?
2. I assume it isn't as good as the sport suspension in the e550 (just the suspension, I know the engines are very different). Correct?

Thanks!

Nope can't be turned off but frankly I see no reason to want to. Ride is not overly firm to begin with. As I understand it the suspension in the E550 is active whereas the E400 is not.

Thanks.

As far as the reason, we are both coming off of owning Lexus cars, so when wifey in car, would be good to have option for a bit more of a comfy ride.

I'm new to my E400 but came from an Infiniti Q50S and the E400 even with the sport suspension is far smoother. My wife has commented how nice the E rides over the Q50S. I think you will be very happy.
