2021 updated suspension

Can anyone comment on the suspension updates for the 2021? I have read it's more comfortable and am curious whether anyone here has had the chance to compare.

I had a 2019 wagon and found the ride a bit rougher than I'd have liked. I am considering a 2021 given some of the updates and reviews. I'm also considering a GLE63 which I imagine would be much more comfortable, but I generally prefer wagons to SUVs.

I will compare my impressions of my previous 2018 E63S sedan to my current 2021 E63S wagon. The ride is still taut, not floaty. The harshness going over pavement imperfections is greatly diminished. There is now a significant difference going from Comfort to Sport to Sport+. However, the tire noise from rough pavements still intrudes a significant amount (this is with Michelin PS4 tires) so no change there.

2021 E63s suspension changes

I had a 2018 E63s and I traded it because it had such a teeth chattering ride over my local poorly maintained roads. Other than the ride the car was very good. Now have a 2021 model and it has a much better ride than the 2018 car.
The car is actually better in "Sport' mode than the 2018 was in "Comfort". Seems more refined over all than the earlier model. My only complaint would be like all new models it has more Nannies (bells. warning bongs ,ect. ), Thought I was
taking bit of a gamble in ordering the car because no one that reported on the E63 seemed to make much of a comparison with the older models. Turns out no worries !

I agree with wcooke, 2021 has a much much better ride quality than the 2018 I drove extensively before
