The dynamic characteristics of the new C-Class set the standard by which all vehicles in this segment are judged – a standard which is raised even further by the optional dynamic handling package with sports mode. You can thereby choose between a particularly comfortable ride or an exciting sporty drive at the touch of a button. With sports mode selected, the system adjusts the firmness of the damping and even sharpens the accelerator response so that you feel the response from the engine more acutely. Or you can simply choose the comfort mode and enjoy a particularly smooth and comfortable ride.

Whatever the selected mode, the electronically controlled damping system constantly adjusts to the driving situation and the condition of the road. The result is a smoother ride, increased handling safety and, above all, greater agility. The dynamic handling package includes innovative speed-sensitive sports steering which uses a modified steering response map to deliver a particularly sporty feel. This sensation is complemented by the lower-slung chassis (15 mm lower) which makes fast corners even more enjoyable.
