A control system (400, Figure 2) and method are provided for an adjustable suspension of a vehicle 100. The adjustable suspension is operable in at least two different configurations. The control system is configured to receive route data 110 indicative of an expected route of the vehicle, receive map data 120 comprising road type information for a road section of the expected route, and output a switch signal to instruct the adjustable suspension 104 to switch between the two different configurations in dependence on the expected route and the road type information, before the vehicle 100 reaches the road section. The control system is further configured to estimate an energy gain resulting from switching between the two different configurations and to instruct the suspension to switch between the two different configurations in dependence on the estimated energy gain.
