Technical Highlights

• E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL is a suspension system developed by Mercedes-Benz and powered in part by the 48V onboard electrical system. As the only system on the market where the spring and damping forces can be individually controlled at each wheel, E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL is the world’s most intelligent SUV suspension that uses Road Surface Scan and a Curve inclination function that make an extraordinary level of comfort possible. The hydropneumatics generate dynamic forces that overlay the air suspension forces and actively support and dampen the vehicle body during linear and lateral acceleration or when driving on uneven roads.
• 48-Volt onboard electrical system technology with EQ Boost: The 4.0L V8 Biturbo engine is supplemented with a powerful and efficient Integrated Starter Generator. This integrated electric motor system, known as EQ Boost, assists the combustion engine by adding up to 21 hp for short periods of time. EQ Boost also assists when accelerating, making driving without the combustion engine turned on possible ("sailing") and supplies the battery with power by means of high-efficiency recuperation. By doing so, it makes fuel savings possible that were previously the exclusive domain of high-voltage hybrid technology.
• Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX): A completely new multimedia system featuring innovative technology based on Artificial Intelligence and an intuitive operating system. MBUX technology is pioneering a new level of in-car experience. MBUX can be operated by Voice Control, the touchscreen, Touchpad and Touch Control Buttons on the steering wheel. The system has learning capabilities and intelligent Voice Control with Natural Language Understanding and a verbal cue of “Hey Mercedes” which can be used to wake the system up.
• Latest-generation Advanced Driver Assistance Systems: the enhanced intelligent hands-off detection includes sensing via the Touch Control Buttons and is sensitive to specific conditions and can be activated in a wide range of speeds.
• Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC® is able to follow a vehicle in front at a pre-selected distance
• Active Stop-and-Go Assist enables the vehicle to recognize traffic jams at an early stage, actively supporting the driver in stop-and-go traffic up to approximately 37 mph
• Active Steering Assist can now actively intervene even if road lines are unclear or non-existent at certain speeds; it can now also function in curves with a tighter radius
• Active Emergency Stop Assist is able to brake the vehicle to a standstill in its lane if it detects that the driver is no longer actively driving the vehicle while it is on the move with Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC and Active Steering Assist engaged. It can now unlock the doors when the vehicle is stationary to allow first aid responders immediate access to the vehicle's interior
• Active Lane Change Assist is a radar-and-camera-based system that aids the driver when changing lanes. When a turn is indicated, this feature will aid with steering into the adjacent lane if it detects the lane is empty
• Active Speed Limit Assist can adapt vehicle speed to identified speed limits and can now adjust pre-emptively when speed limits are going to change
• Route-Based Speed Adaptation is able to reduce the speed in anticipatory mode by referencing the vehicle’s map data ahead of bends, junctions, roundabouts, toll booths and exit roads
• Active Brake Assist with Cross-Traffic Function is an advanced braking system capable of mitigating many types of danger, such as standing and crossing pedestrians or bicyclists, traffic up ahead of the vehicle, or even crossing from side to side
• Turn-off function of Active Brake Assist: activation of Active Brake Assist with Cross-Traffic Assist when turning across the opposite lane. If there is a risk of collision when turning across the path of oncoming vehicles, the vehicle will be braked when traveling at low speeds
• Evasive Steering Assist assists the driver by adding calculated steering torque to aid in steering when a driver deliberately or instinctively performs an evasive maneuver around a pedestrian
• Active Blind Spot Assist is able to provide the driver with a visual alert, plus an audible alarm, when a turn indicator is actuated to warn of a side collision, and helps the driver to avoid an imminent side impact by single-sided braking
• Active Lane Keeping Assist is able to warn the driver by means of vibrations of the steering wheel when the vehicle is unintentionally drifting out of its lane
• Car-to-X Communication is a system in which the vehicle simultaneously acts as a receiver and transmitter, conveying warning messages and evaluating driving conditions, effectively allowing the driver to “see” much further down the road
• PRE-SAFE® PLUS activates the PRE-SAFE safety measures when a collision from behind is imminent
• PRE-SAFE® Sound omits a short interference signal if an imminent collision is detected, triggering a protective reflex in the human ear referred to as the “stapedius reflex,” which can help reduce hearing loss in the event of an accident
• PRE-SAFE® Impulse Side preventatively moves the driver or front passenger up to 2.75-inches away from the impact zone to the side by rapidly inflating the seat’s side bolster, reducing the load on the occupant during an accident if a lateral collision is detected by the system
• ENERGIZING Comfort: enhanced health and wellness functionality boosts drivers’ attentiveness and well- being while reducing sleepiness and stress
• ENERGIZING COACH: This new feature is based on an intelligent algorithm and recommends one of the ENERGIZING Comfort programs depending on the driving and traffic situation, and the individual. If a Garmin® wearable is worn, personal values such as stress level or quality of sleep optimize the accuracy of the recommendation.
