Enjoy your drive – the standard-specification AGILITY CONTROL package can smooth out most bumps on the road and ensures that you experience sporty ride comfort every time. It adjusts automatically to both the current road conditions and your driving style. With a standard driving style, more gentle shock absorber characteristics deliver tyre noise and vibration. As soon as you employ a more dynamic driving style, the E-Class Coupé 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, which can increase the driving stability of the E-Class Coupé. 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.

The brake drying function of the ADAPTIVE BRAKE system with HOLD function is used in wet conditions. The brakes are applied lightly to remove the film of water which forms on the brake discs when driving in the wet. This ensures that the brakes can operate to optimum effect if required. The HOLD function is activated by the driver to prevent the vehicle from rolling back unexpectedly, for example.
