Mercedes-Benz says it has focused on making the new S-class even more comfortable and luxurious than before. Here’s a look at the technology that went into the manufacture of the latest version of the plush four-door saloon.
 
CrossWind Assist
 
Mercedes says that Crosswind Assist is designed to help the driver by substantially reducing the effect of strong sidewinds on straight-line stability.

If the car has ABC, it works by adjusting individual dampers to keep the vehicle running as straight as possible.
