The aim of Mercedes-Benz was to make the new S-class as easy to handle as a compact car in big cities, combined with an excellent handling performance. This impressive driving function is realized by using a rear axle steering with large steering angles up to 10° as well as an integrated vehicle control for steering, braking and active suspension. The benefit for the customer is shown in all vehicle handling categories: impressive benefit during parking maneuver and perfect city agility with low steering effort during cornering, the turning circle is reduced up to 2 m, and an extraordinary handling performance and stability regarding vehicle dynamics at high speed. The rear axle steering is available in two different options, the standard steering with approximately 4.5° and the rear-axle steering with large angles (10°). This system is part of the success story of the new S-class and achieves an excellent customer perception and performance.
