The new luxury sedan further improves the very good NVH performance of the new S-Class generation. The extended NVH measures mainly benefit the rear section. Additional absorbent foam is installed in the area of the rear wheel arches, for example.
Active road noise compensation (AFGK) is used by the company for the first time. The system reduces unwanted low-frequency noises using counter-phased sound waves.
