Enjoy your drive – the standard-specification AGILITY CONTROL package can smooth out most bumps on the road and ensures that you experience pleasant ride comfort on virtually every road. It adjusts automatically to both prevailing road conditions and your own driving style. With a standard driving style, "softer" shock absorber characteristics keep tyre noise and vibration low. As soon as you employ a more dynamic driving style, the E-Class Cabriolet is stabilised using the full damping effect. In response to weaker shocks, it reduces the damping force individually at each wheel and enhances tyre noise and vibration. When the vehicle encounters more pronounced uneven sections of road, the AGILITY CONTROL package steps up the damping effect, increasing the handling stability of the E-Class Cabriolet. The steering system has an adaptive ratio and, in conjunction with the manual transmission, short-throw shifting means even more precise control.

If you'd like even more sportiness the optional AGILITY CONTROL sports suspension with speed-sensitive sports steering is the ideal choice (standard equipment in conjunction with AMG sports package). In comparison with the standard-fit AGILITY CONTROL suspension the springs and shock absorbers of the AGILITY CONTROL sports suspension are more tightly tuned. It reduces the rolling motions and improves handling. The more direct steering ratio of the speed-sensitive sports steering supplements the suspension by enabling a more spontaneous transfer of the steering movements to the road.

With the optional dynamic handling package (standard with the E 500), just a simple touch of the "SPORT" button is all it takes to switch all the related systems from the regular comfort mode to sport mode. The damping becomes noticeably tighter and the engine's response to the accelerator is much more direct. At the same time, the shift program of the automatic transmission changes to a more offensive mode, which ensures optimum acceleration at all times. The speed-sensitive sports steering creates a more sporty and direct steering sensation in both driving modes.
