C class sports plus mode

What does sport plus have over sports mode.

I've come from bmw which allows the traction to give some leeway in sports plus. But with my c300 It doesn't seem to do it

Is this normal

I've only got the overview for the C350e, not sure if there is a newer one some where.



also some details https://www.inchcape.co.uk/blog/tips-and-advice/me...

All new Mercedes-Benz vehicles are now fitted with DYNAMIC SELECT, technology that enables drivers to select a variety of driving modes.

Each changes the car’s response to driver inputs, tweaking its sensitivity to:

throttle inputs
gear changes
suspension height and stiffness
steering sharpness.
Several driving modes are fitted to each model as standard:

Comfort
This is the standard setting that you’ll get when you turn on the car. Featured on all models, there’s no ‘normal’ here; this option cleverly optimises the car’s settings for smoothness and refined driving.

ECO
Perfect for long-distance driving, this setting adjusts throttle, climate control and various other settings to reduce overall fuel usage.

Sport
This sharpens up your car’s responsiveness, making steering and throttle inputs more direct.

Revs are allowed to run up to higher RPMs before gear shifts - making greater use of high-rev torque in naturally-aspirated petrol models. Suspension settings also become firmer, helping the car to corner more flatly at higher speeds.

Individual
This option gives you the chance to create and save your own, bespoke driving setting. If you prefer Sport steering settings, but Comfort throttle and suspension, so be it. Ask our trained experts to show you how to do this, when you head out on your Mercedes test drive.

Sport+
Takes the Sport mode’s settings to their very extremes, further enhancing the car’s responsiveness and packing a powerful punch.

It definitely affects the ESP parameters.

I could get my old C350e sideways in Sport+, Sport would allow the rear to move a little. Mine was a Sport so only had 235 wide 17” wheels and standard tyres.

Cars with wider tyres and high performance tyres have so much mechanical grip you have to be really trying to get them to break traction.

Did you have to do anything extra like turn of esp or just flick it in sport plus plus

No, just put it in Sport+ and mash the gas pedal with some steering lock on was all it took.
