The 4MATIC Experience: Driving Stability, Dynamics, and Efficiency Across Every Terrain
- Enhanced driving stability and superior traction across diverse conditions
- Dynamics and efficiency serve as the common denominators of 4MATIC
- Tailored all-wheel-drive technologies designed to match each vehicle’s concept
Mercedes-Benz showcased its diverse range of all-wheel-drive vehicles at a press event in Öztal, Austria, underscoring their ability to tackle challenging alpine conditions. From passenger cars to vans, the 4MATIC system exemplifies superior engineering and luxury, ensuring enhanced safety, stability, and dynamics in all driving scenarios.
The 4MATIC system adapts power distribution between the front and rear axles based on the model, consistently delivering superior traction across varied terrains. Its intelligent, electronically controlled architecture is lighter and optimized for hybrid and electric drivetrains, maintaining high efficiency and performance.
A Legacy of All-Wheel Drive
Mercedes-Benz’s history with all-wheel drive dates back to 1903, pioneered by Paul Daimler. Landmark models like the “Dernburg-Wagen” in 1907—the world’s first all-wheel-drive passenger car—set the stage for innovation. By 1985, Mercedes-Benz introduced the now-iconic 4MATIC system, continually refining it to meet modern driving demands.
