Designed to provide luxury drivers a well-balanced ride, the Mercedes-Benz GL450 Air Suspension actively changes body height as well as spring firmness in real time to ensure smoother cruising and surefooted handling. With a compressor that feeds air into robust rubber bellows, the system can raise the chassis when the need for ground clearance arises. It can also lower it for easy entry and continuously levels out the SUV so the weight of people or cargo never upsets stability or steering feel. What's better, because the Air Suspension reacts in milliseconds, drivers will notice responses occur just as quickly. The advanced pressure management system cushions the potholes better than metal coils do. It curbs cabin shake and also controls road noise. As a result, the big GL450 feels light on its feet even with its powerful V8. It is a hallmark that strengthens the larger Mercedes-Benz reputation. According to owners, the Air Suspension design has a good reputation for reliability due to the effective sealing of components. It performs consistently since the introduction in 2012 through to production of the 2019 model inclusive of the facelift in 2016, which adopted new electronics but the same suspension. The system automatically adapts to changes in loads to reduce aerodynamic drag at highway speeds. Consequently, this supports fuel savings and also improves braking distance thanks to a flatter stance. The safety advantages become more pronounced off-road since the extra lift safeguards underbody parts and maintains tire traction on uneven terrain. The feature is unique to the Mercedes-Benz and the competitive luxury segment because there are not many large SUVs and other luxury vehicles that offer comfort tuning, sports firmness adjustment and automatic self-leveling all-in-one package. All factory trims of the GL450 built for those model years are compatible, meaning replacement units will fit without modification and ride quality will remain unaffected, further enhancing the distinction of Mercedes-Benz engineering excellence.
