With DYNAMIC SELECT, the handling characteristics of the new-generation A-Class can be altered instantaneously at the push of a button. DYNAMIC SELECT allows a particularly broad range of setting options in combination with the new suspension featuring the Adaptive Damping System.

The suspension experts at Mercedes-Benz were already experimenting with the variance of the damping characteristics before an operational prototype was available: the so-called ride simulator at the development centre in Sindelfingen enabled virtual test drives to be carried out with the new suspension right from an early phase of the development process.

At the end of 2010, Mercedes-Benz opened the world's most cutting-edge "moving base" driving simulator in Sindelfingen.
