The most conventional are a
set of adaptive dampers, they are then combined with a three - chamber air suspension that allows the car to vary the spring rate.
On the Touring trim, the MacPherson strut front and multi-link rear suspension now include Accord's first application
of an Adaptive Damper System for an improved ride quality and driver - selectable performance via the Accord's Two - Mode Driving System with Normal and Sport modes.
Updated in 2015, the
option of adaptive dampers has largely rectified this, while interior upgrades coupled with a few exterior changes, has put the A-class right up to the top of its class.
The MacPherson strut front and multi-link rear suspension are upgraded with firmer settings and benefit from the first
application of an Adaptive Damper System (ADS) to Civic.
The chassis is a
mix of adaptive dampers and steel springs, with the former featuring Mercedes - AMG's Comfort, Sport, Sport + and Individual modes, and AMG's speed sensitive steering is also standard.
Another
function of the adaptive dampers is a pothole function, which will recognise when the front wheel is on the leading edge of a pothole and react by reducing the wheel drop on that specific corner.
The driver can still alter the weight of the speed - sensitive steering, as well as the
stiffness of the adaptive dampers, the severity of the throttle response and the shift speed of the seven - speed dual - clutch transmission.
Drivers can tweak the
responses of the adaptive dampers, gearchange violence, throttle and even the seven reconfigurable dials in the TFT digital instrument pack, depending on their mood.
The car starts in Sport mode by default, but on each side of it are Comfort and + R, in which the
aggression of the adaptive dampers, steering weight and throttle response are ramped down (Comfort) or up (+ R).
New to the car is a set
of adaptive dampers with upgraded shocks (in them are electromagnetic coils), featuring a three - chamber design to spread damping capabilities.
What really helps is the
addition of adaptive dampers for the first time, which let the driver switch between Green, Comfort and Sport driving modes.
Also new for 2018, there's the
option of adaptive dampers — a much - needed upgrade that should iron out smaller imperfections and improve secondary ride comfort exponentially
The Mercedes - Benz's suspension has received some fine tuning which makes the car both more agile and more comfortable due to a
combination of adaptive dampers and air suspension.
It should handle pretty nicely thanks to a set
of adaptive dampers, and it sounds pretty gnarly thanks to a new exhaust system.
It's a comfortable car because of the more compliant «comfort» settings
of its adaptive dampers.
