What is the difference between Mercedes-Benz sports and sport+?
2 Answers
Mercedes-Benz does not have a sports mode, but it does have a sport mode. The sport+ mode is more sporty than the sport mode, which is the most sporty mode on the car. After turning on the sport+ mode, part of the anti-skid system will be turned off. Mercedes-Benz is a car manufacturer from Germany, and currently many models under Mercedes-Benz have been localized. Here is an introduction to Mercedes-Benz cars: 1. The models that have been localized under Mercedes-Benz include the A-Class, C-Class, E-Class, GLA, GLB, GLC, etc. 2. The C-Class is a mid-size sedan, and the domestic version of the C-Class has both standard wheelbase and long wheelbase versions. The domestic version of the C-Class uses three engines in total, which are the low-power version 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, the high-power version 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, and the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. All three engines are matched with a 9AT transmission.
The difference between Mercedes' Sport and Sport+ modes is quite noticeable. I drive a Mercedes C-Class for my daily commute and often test both modes on the highway. In Sport mode, the steering becomes heavier, acceleration response is quicker, but the suspension isn't too stiff, making the ride more comfortable. It's suitable for city driving and normal conditions, without being too bumpy. On the other hand, Sport+ mode is much more aggressive. It raises the shift points to over 5,000 RPM, making the car feel like it's on steroids, with stronger bursts of power. However, the suspension stiffens noticeably, making speed bumps more jarring. Crucially, Sport+ reduces electronic stability control intervention, allowing slight rear-wheel slip—ideal for high-speed or mountain road drifting, but riskier in wet conditions. Driving in Sport+ also consumes more fuel over time, so I generally reserve it for open roads. Overall, Sport mode offers a sporty daily driving upgrade, while Sport+ is an extreme, track-ready setup that requires preparation to handle properly.
