The 2025 Mercedes-Benz G-Class is set to bring a host of valuable upgrades, particularly in terms of technology and operational equipment. One area that has seen significant improvement is the vehicle’s suspension system, which now features dynamic technology to provide enhanced comfort and handling on challenging terrains.
The dynamic suspension system is already in use in some of Mercedes-Benz’s sporty models like the SL-Class and Mercedes-AMG GT. This innovative system replaces traditional anti-roll bars with interconnected hydraulic-electromechanical shock absorbers, allowing for adjustments in rebound and compression forces during movement. These adjustments are made based on factors such as speed, steering angle, vehicle body motion, and road conditions.
The upgraded suspension system will greatly enhance the off-road capabilities of the G-Class. When a wheel is compressed, the inner piston of the regulating valve extends upwards and pushes hydraulic fluid to the opposite side, providing support for vehicle balance. The stiffness of the shock absorber can be controlled via two accumulators filled with nitrogen gas, which collect excess hydraulic fluid and release it to the flow valves when needed.
Reporters from online magazine Wards Auto had an opportunity to test drive the 2025 Mercedes-Benz G-Class and evaluate the new suspension system. They praised its performance not only on paved roads but also in off-road conditions, proving its effectiveness.
Ralf Haug, the head of Mercedes-AMG’s suspension system development department, stated that “the new suspension system brings versatility to the operational capabilities of the G-Class.” He further explained that the system can be softer for a comfortable and enjoyable driving experience in urban areas, and stiffer for improved road grip during off-road driving.
The dynamic suspension system is already being used in various luxury models, including McLaren supercars and electric SUVs and pickups from Rivian.
