Mercedes S-Klasse 223 S 350 d lang AMG Line 4MATIC 9G-TRONIC - Terrain

Can the Mercedes S-Klasse 223 S 350 d lang AMG Line 4MATIC 9G-TRONIC also be used off-road? Here usually a distinction is made between "soft-roaders" and real off-roaders. Wanting to go into real off-road it needs more than just some more ground clearance. The SUV boom of the last 10 years has produced many cars that look off-road capable but have limited capability to do so.

The Mercedes S-Klasse has all-wheel drive, which means that the basic requirement is already met. The ground clearance, another important criterion, is 130 mm for this automotive. This is an average value, i.e. dirt roads and slightly uneven terrain are no problem for the motor vehicle.

The integrated air suspension allows the chassis to be raised under certain circumstances, thus increasing ground clearance. The integrated 360-degree camera can also help you move forward on rough terrain and avoid damage.

Rating: The car does have all-wheel drive, but not least the lack of ground clearance indicates that a Mercedes S-Klasse is not made for off-road use.
