This is the evolution of
This is the evolution of the suspensions of the legendary Mercedes-Benz S-Class. The hydropneumatic self-leveling suspension system was originally used on the Mercedes-Benz W116 6.9. Unlike previous models, which had air suspension. This provided the 4,200-pound car with a smooth ride and handling that allowed it to be "tossed around like a Mini," as automotive journalist David E. Davis put it. The system was pressurized by a hydraulic pump powered by the engine's timing chain, which used a combination of fluid-filled struts and nitrogen-filled pressure vessels or "accumulators" in place of traditional shock absorbers and springs.
The self-leveling hydropneumatic suspension of the W116 450 SEL 6.9 model was carried over to the W126 in 1978. The rear-wheel hydropneumatic suspension system was optional in the W126, as it was in the W116 and W123. From 1981 to 1985, the upgraded four-wheel hydropneumatic suspension system, known as HPF 2, was offered as an extra-cost option for the 380 SEL and 500 SEL, but not for the remainder of the model range or two-door vehicles. In 1985, it was available in 500 SE for a limited time.
The W140 had a newly built front axle double-wishbone suspension and a rear independent multi-link suspension when it was introduced in 1991. The first generation of the hydropneumatic Adaptive Damping System, or ADS, was released in 1991. It changed the shock absorber damping level to help steady the automobile during high-speed driving, aggressive driving, or if the driver loses control. V12 vehicles now have it as a standard feature, while V8 models have it as an option.
Mercedes' Active Body Control hydraulic active suspension was improved in 2014 with a system called Magic Body Control, which is equipped with a load-sensing device called "Road surface scan," which scans the road ahead of time for uneven surfaces, potholes, and bumps. The technology scans the road surface up to 15 meters ahead of the vehicle using a stereo camera at speeds up to 130 km/h and changes the shock damping at each wheel to account for road imperfections. As of Model Year 2017, Magic Body Control is not available on any of the 4-Matic vehicles.
