Im a Mercedes Benz mechanic and I love how they keep the comfort using all the technology the car has it self, not a Fan of a brand in special, each brand have their own adventage and comfort on Mercedes its the best as I can say while working with multi brand cars.

After 15 years ABC is finally perfected and then some. Honestly at about 2009 the SL's ABC became very reliable if maintained properly with CLEAN fluid 100% of the time. Now, I wouldn't drive any other car without it- ABC is just that effective at no compromise handling competence.

This is also a performance upgrade: you can have softer sprints and control load distribution on the wheels, you dont need much camber and you dont even need a sway bar. Really hope to see a system like this in the after market.

It's a similar technology in that they are both active instead of passive. If I remember correctly, the Bose suspension system was electro-magnetic while this system uses oil.

I think that Bose electromagnetic suspension is better, after I saw how it performs on their videos... you can also have fun with it, since the electromagnetic mechanism is faster than the oil mechanism (I guess), which ables you to jump (as in the video). Do someone else think that Bose suspension is better?

Great to see coverage of my favorite feature on my W220 S500. I am amused by commenters' apples to oranges comparisons of this hydropneumatic setup to GM magride. Watch the first part of this video. Magride simply adjusts the damping rate of an otherwise typical suspension so quickly that one does not notice. Magride cannot, however, increase/decrease the length of the system as this does. It is also not predictive, and the spring rates are typically stiffer than the Mercedes springs' in this application, making their ride slightly harsher than Mercedes'. The only advantage magride has is that it is admittedly a simpler system to maintain past 80-100k miles, but to people who buy six figure cars, this is not a priority as it is with the middle-class 2nd or 3rd owner of these cars.

+Jonathan Lavigne Mercedes-Benz officially states Active Body Control (ABC) is usable from ~13-99 MPH (20-160 km/h), but independent testing has shown the system operates below 13 MPH and over 145 MPH (233 km/h), Mercedes-Benz indicates the Magic Body Control (MBC) system works at speeds up to ~81 MPH (130 km/h). The 5-8 Hz is referring to the frequency of movement of the body that the ABC system is attempting to reduce, not the processing frequency/speed, evaluation/sample rate or the response time. There is another frequency that the ABC system monitors to help mitigate wheel oscillations and dampen ride harshness and that is a wheel movement frequency of 15-20 Hz and again is not referring to processing frequency/speed, evaluation/sample frequency or response time. Service info for some 2015 models indicates the ABC system utilizes multiple 12 MHz processors and samples 13 sensors at 2.6 MHz or each sensor channel is sampled 200,000 per second and has a response time of approximately 1 millisecond. I was unable to locate details on the MBC system processor and sample rates.

Francisco Barraza nah, I'm not in america, and I'm using km/h from the first place. I'm not talking about any highway, for toll gate thingy I just give an example that bumps (really small) usually occur. In residential area, it is exactly what you said. It's not 80km/h road, here in my place it's probably tops at 30-40km/h. Residential needs accessibility. They put speed limit sign and they put bumps to emphasize it's slow speed road. Because it's relatively quiet road and the pavement nice doesn't mean you can speeding as you want.

Another point to those criticisms aimed at the durability of this system: the newest installations feature upgraded seals, a better pump, and other improvements.

I'm of the opinion that said "Magic Body Control" is mainly there to sense "false positives" such as crests, dips and banks where you want the ride height to stay constant while the hydrolic suspension unit compensates for bumps and potholes on the fly. To sense speedbumps and holes with the "camera" is probably possible, but having it sense the topography of the road forward will to my mind require much less processing power that can be used elsewhere within the car.

Similar to Citroen active suspension... Mercedes just added springs and a shock absober. Until the first C5s the ride high compensation was completely mechanical. If the car tilted a little when cornering a solenoid connected to the stabilizers released part of the pressure stored in the system and adjusted the roll angle. It was simple and beautifull. A minor drawback is the fact that you lose most of the feedback from the track. It's a shame citroen forgot how to make good cars, but their suspension was brilliant! (so good that Bentley had it in some models.)

Leaning into a corner should help cornering by moving the car's CG toward a point where normal forces (perpendicular to the pavement) of tires becomes better distributed than if leaning outward. Additionally, steering geometry can take advantage of leaning-in just as a bicycle or motorcycle does. Shifting this mass will cause a deleterious effect from lateral reaction against the pavement unless it's done slightly ahead of the curve or turn. I'm surprised that more research into this suspension science hasn't been thoroughly explored by now.

it'll be interesting to see if suspension slowly shifts to fully active systems with no passive components (i.e, just the hydraulics or even electromagnetic actuators with no springs at all), the same way camera gimbals and stabilizers have gone from passive (glidecams, most steadycams, etc) to fully active electronic stabilization as the evolution of smartphone accelerometers allowed electronic control systems to react quickly enough to out-perform passive systems. Maybe in another decade or two, coil springs will be the new leaf springs, and all new cars will ship with active, electronically controlled suspension alone.

Why does the suspension still have the strut and not just the hydraulics? Is it for added travel?

Pretty similar system to the 1991 Toyota Soarer UZZ32, with active suspension (not the airbag model)

Are we sure that Magic Body Control is just Active Body Control with cameras? That's what I thought initially but now I think MBC is a complete redesign of the strut and it's self-contained, like the X167 GLS which has those neat off road tricks. Does MBC still use the hydraulic pump and hydraulic oil distribution system like ABC?

Hello my friend. How I know if my car have magic body control? As I know if there is button for hydraulic can control comfort and sport, that means the car have it. Am I right?

I think "leaning" through corners is not only comfortable, it may wind up being safer. The high speed trains lean through corners for safety and speed. Jason, have they published figures as to how quickly the suspension reacts?
@holzvvrm7718

It would be faster through corners if the road bended. Then centripedal force would push you to the road, giving you more downforce.

@Rickyboy707 8 жыл бұрын
I said MAY be safer. Most roads (as well as railroads) are NOT banked (I think that's what you mean). Therefore, allowing the car to lean MAY provide a level of safety that the road doesn't offer. Also, centrifugal force (I think that's what you mean) would push a car AWAY from the center of the turn, not "to the road", as you state.

Hmm. Looks like your diagram is a bit off to me... both springs / dampers should be connected at the same bottom level - the spring will just be in compression when the system adds oil.

The first 3:20 of this video has a fundamental error. It is a "body" control system, not a wheel control system. It cannot react fast enough to compensate for a bump, even with the cameras. It does compensate for body roll, braking dive and slower body motions. Regular shocks and struts take care of the higher frequency wheel motions. And the Japanese got there first with the Nissan Infinity Q45A FAS system in 1991 and the Toyota Celica ST183 in 1989 and the Toyota Soarer in 1991.

Can't turbos add a higher pitched whirring sound to the engine? I'd expect it to be even more pronounced with 2 of them. Could that be the whistling you mentioned?
