00:02The suspension of the all-new electric GLC represents the unmistakable DNA of every Mercedes-Benz.
00:10We call this the Mercedes-Benz driving character.
00:14It is based on ride comfort, driving safety and sovereignty, complemented by sportiness and precision.
00:21At the beginning of each development cycle, these characteristics are translated into over 130 physical parameters for vertical, lateral and
00:32longitudinal dynamics.
00:34These form the basis for extensive calculations, simulations and design variants before the defined target values are incorporated into the
00:43suspension components.
00:51When driving over individual obstacles such as speed bumps, the forces that occur are absorbed both vertically by the dampers
01:00and horizontally by the tension strut bushing.
01:03The optimisation of the interaction between the dampers and comfort bushing ensures the Mercedes-Typical comfort behaviour in the GLC.
01:21In all driving situations, the all-new electric GLC offers the optimum balance between driving dynamics and ride comfort.
01:30Thanks to the known air suspension technology from the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, bumps and vibrations are almost completely absorbed
01:39for a remarkably smooth ride.
01:42The continuously adjustable damping system offers the perfect synthesis of long distance comfort and sporty agility.
01:57Driving over road bumps on one side such as manhole covers poses a particular challenge for the suspension.
02:06Cross-torque to the unloaded side needs to be cancelled out.
02:10The vehicle absorbs the bump on one side.
02:20Intelligent Suspension Control includes a new Car2X function that provides significantly more comfort on long speed bumps.
02:29If the system detects an upcoming elevation via the Mercedes-Benz Cloud, the electric GLC adjusts the damping electrically shortly
02:38before the obstacle, which is particularly noticeable in the rear.
02:42The basis for the damping adjustment is Car2X information that a Mercedes-Benz vehicle travelling ahead has transmitted anonymously to
02:51the Mercedes-Benz Cloud in real time via the mobile network.
02:55Because the sensors of other cars are also used, the technology significantly extends the coverage area of the vehicle's own
03:04sensor technology.
03:06The function was solely developed by Mercedes-Benz. A patent has been applied for.
03:19The rear axle steering in the all-new electric GLC is based on electromechanical actuators that precisely control the toe
03:28angle of the rear wheels.
03:29Control is adaptive via the driving dynamics system and takes into account speed, steering wheel angle and driving program.
03:39The current steering angle is shown in the central display, so the function remains transparent to the driver.
03:46At lower speeds, the rear wheels steer up to 4.5 degrees in the opposite direction to the front wheels.
03:54This reduces the turning radius by 90 cm to 11.2 m.
04:00The vehicle is more maneuverable, nimble and agile in tight corners and easier to park.
04:12At higher speeds, the rear wheels steer in the same direction as the front wheels.
04:18The resulting virtual extension of the wheelbase offers noticeable advantages.
04:23Increased driving stability and safety at high speeds, fast lane changes or sudden evasive maneuvers.
04:31This is also evident in the so-called double lane change, a test drive that is specified by pylons and
04:39simulates an obstacle suddenly appearing on the road.
04:42In this maneuver, rear axle steering can significantly improve performance by increasing stability and improving responsiveness.
04:59The all-new electric GLC combines maximum driving comfort with unprecedented agility.
05:06This has been achieved in particular through the functional refinement of the interaction between the rear axle steering and the
05:13ESP driving stability system, developed by Mercedes-Benz.
05:18This is the first tournament.
05:19This has been achieved and the last two years of reopening.
05:21This is a production of the
