What is Mercedes-Benz 4MATIC all-wheel drive?
Prepared for any season or terrain, Mercedes-Benz 4MATIC all-wheel drive system can handle wet, dry or even snowy conditions as well as off-road gradients.
Intelligently distributing power to any of the four wheels to combat slipping or loss of traction, 4MATIC enables enjoyable and safe driving in all conditions.
Various vehicles in the Mercedes-Benz and Mercedes-AMG range boast the permanent 4MATIC all-wheel drive system but with some cars only certain engines and models will feature the intelligent system.
4MATIC Advantages
Maximum Traction
Precise Handing and Control
Enhanced Safety
Improved Efficiency
How does 4MATIC work?
Powered by either a 7 or 9-speed automatic transmission, 4MATIC can adapt to provide enhanced stability, in adverse weather conditions or poor road surfaces, by working in conjunction with other key technologies such as ABS (Antilock Braking System), 4-ETS (4-wheel Electronic Traction System) and ESP® (Electronic Stability Program).
Adaptability is the core focus of the intelligent 4MATIC all-wheel drive system as no matter which wheel looses grip, power will be distributed to the opposite wheel. These automatic adjustments provide drivers with peace of mind and an enhanced level of safety.
Continuously monitoring the speed of the each wheel and ensuring the Mercedes-Benz vehicle remains stable at all times, 4MATIC seriously is the best partner for any road surface or weather conditions.
