How does the Mercedes-Benz 4MATIC® drive system work? Here’s how this advanced system helps you drive better on the roads of Fontana:
The force sent to the tires affects braking, steering, and acceleration. Expanding the distribution of power to all four wheels increases the force put out on the road, enhancing performance.
The exterior wheels take a longer path than the interior wheels when turning a corner, which makes them rotate at different speeds. Mercedes-Benz 4MATIC® monitors wheel spin and keeps everything in check.
4MATIC® monitors Chino road conditions and adjusts brake and engine output accordingly.
4MATIC® can send different levels of torque to each wheel individually, significantly improving how the vehicle handles.
Is 4MATIC® always on when you drive your Mercedes-Benz? For some 4MATIC® versions, it’s always activated; however, it depends on the particular 4MATIC® system with which your Mercedes-Benz is equipped. Here are some of the different variations of 4MATIC® all-wheel drive:
4MATIC® Permanent All-Wheel Drive: This all-wheel drive system divides the output between the vehicle’s axles, depending on which model you own. The benefits of 4MATIC® Permanent AWD include better handling in inclement weather and a smoother driving experience on the roads of Corona.
4MATIC® Variable All-Wheel Drive: 4MATIC® Variable All-Wheel Drive switches between front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. The type of drivetrain used depends on your driving behavior and road conditions with this version of 4MATIC®, meaning you’ll get responsive handling and increased fuel efficiency.
4MATIC® All-Wheel Drive: Choose a vehicle that features the 4MATIC® All-Wheel Drive system, and you’ll enjoy a system that does the work for you by calculating your vehicle’s ideal torque distribution. With this feature in your corner, you’ll be able to smoothly go from rear-wheel drive to all-wheel drive.
