How Does Mercedes-Benz 4MATIC® All-Wheel Drive Work?

4MATIC® all-wheel drive takes your Stamford drive to the next level by addressing these four key areas:

• Because braking, acceleration, and steering depend on the force sent to a vehicle’s tires, Mercedes-Benz all-wheel drive expands power distribution to all four wheels to maximize the force sent to the road.
• If you’re headed into a corner, the outside wheels of your vehicle take a longer path than the ones on the inside, which causes a discrepancy in rotation speed. 4MATIC® monitors the wheel spin to ensure that your tires are working as they should be.
• 4MATIC® AWD also works with the electronic traction system to monitor conditions and adjust brakes and engine output in order to maintain control when encountering loose dirt, patches of ice, sudden rain, etc.
• This system also sends different amounts of torque to each wheel is order to offer the best handling possible.
