Interesting that you've gone for S Air Suspension as opposed to GTS. One of the unknowns with the Gen 3 GTS is how stiff the suspension is. My 2020 GTS has air suspension that is stiffer than other models in the range but the Gen 3 is reputed to be 10-15% stiffer again. Given the time between now and lockdown there's the opportunity to try both GTS and S on air to make sure you're happy with your choice.

Thanks Peter, interesting on the early configurator it wasn't listed as such, it was just listed something like 'adaptive air suspension' as a no cost option, I've been told that my OPC will have there Demo vehicles in September so I'll be doing exactly as you have suggested

When you manage to have test drives in September of cars with S Air suspension and GTS air suspension, if the cars have Sports Chrono, they will have an even stiffer "sports plus" setting. I suspect the new GTS sports plus will be unusable on most UK roads as some GTS owners find the existing GTS sports plus too firm. My argument is an Air S with Sports Chrono may have a wider usable range of suspension settings than a New GTS with the stiffest "unusable". I admit true comparison may be difficult if the Air S comes with S 20 wheels and the standard new GTS with 21
