guys could any one tell me plz what is difference between Avantgarde suspension and Elegance suspension?

MB agency tell me there is no difference , the Avantgarde suspenstion is lower than the elegance suspension (15ml)

when you drive the Avantgarde you can feel the difference it's more soft and comfort than elegance

I liked the sound of all the Avantgarde options and decided that was the vehicle for me, but I wanted a softer 'ride'. The Avantgarde is the sportier type package but I elected to go for the comfort suspension option and I must confess we are delighted with it.

Can your dealer supply an Elegance and an Avantgarde to let you form your own opinion?

One man's firm ride is anotheres man's 'bumpy ride

Good luck with choice,

To my understanding, the Avantgard has a harder ride due mainly to less shock distance (sport ride).

As far as other differences, I do not think the car is lowered or anything like that in the Avantgard.

Actually I liked the Avantgard options, but I did not like the Black wood trim. Since Dealer told me that there was no option to change the wood color (it all comes in the package), I decided to go for the Elegance.

Over here we could choose any of the wood trim in the Designo range.

The avant is infact 15mm lower than the Elegance.. the ride is a bit tight but nothing to fuss over IMO, then again i am more into sporty driving. Another thing is to consider your terrain. HK has a lot of twisty roads and after a while of sitting in a taxi which has a very very soft suspension set up you might begin to get motion sickness.

Elegance comes standard with 'comfort suspension' whereas with avantgarde you get 'sports suspension'. It (Avantgarde susp) is basically stiffer and offers a sportier ride. The vehicle is also lower.
You may wanna consider Airmatic DC (available for both elegance and avantgarde), an air suspension which adjusts the height of the car and the stiffness of springs according to your taste.

i believe that Avantgarde is 30mm lower than Elegance, I will confirm that again.

The Advantgarde is a sportier harder suspension. But hard in MB terms is still comfortable.

I did not like the Advantgarde trim, esp the wood. So I went for Elegance with airmatic. Now I can have either elegance ride or advantgarde ride depending on my mood with the real nice Elegance interior.
