What is Mercedes-Benz 4MATIC® All-Wheel Drive?

Wondering how the Mercedes-Benz 4MATIC®® all-wheel drive adds more control, traction, and enhances your overall drives around Sussex? This system is available in many new Mercedes-Benz models and provides the following perks:

• More grip during bad weather, including rain, sleet, or snow
• Preserves strong fuel economy
• Distributes power to the wheels that can use it best

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

Wondering how the 4MATIC®® All-Wheel system works? It works in four different ways to enhance your driving ability around the Hackettstown area and beyond:

• Braking, acceleration, and steering all depend on the force that’s sent to your car’s tires. Because you’re expanding the power distribution from the front or rear wheels to all four, it maximizes the force that can be sent to the road.
• During high-performance driving situations, sending different amounts of torque to each wheel will maximize your handling – the 4MATIC®® all-wheel drive can do that.
• Loose dirt, patches of ice, and any sudden rain changes the road surface quickly. The 4MATIC®® AWD system monitors conditions and adjusts brakes and engine output to match. It works with an electronic traction system to maintain control.
• When you’re headed into a corner, the outside wheels take a longer path than the inside ones, which causes them to rotate at different speeds. Because of this, the 4MATIC®® system monitors wheel spin to ensure it’s running as it should.
