What does 4MATIC® mean? 4MATIC® is the Mercedes-Benz AWD system, which intelligently monitors each of your wheels for slippage and automatically applies the necessary torque to each axle. This constant observation of your tires and current road conditions is guaranteed to keep you safe on Mesquite roads. But what exactly are the benefits of 4MATIC® all-wheel drive? Some of the best reasons to invest in a newer Mercedes-Benz vehicle that offers this drivetrain include:

  • Lighter drivetrain weight
  • More fuel efficient
  • Improved handling

What are the Benefits of 4MATIC® All-Wheel Drive?

Have a better understanding of what 4MATIC® means? Then you’ll want to take a closer look at all the unique perks that come with this high-tech drivetrain:

  • 4-Wheel Electronic Traction System (4-ETS): Individual sensors and breaks can be located on every wheel. So when only one of your wheels has traction on Hurricane roads, the 4MATIC® system can keep you rolling.
  • Variable Wheel Speed: The wheels can spin at different speeds. When you are going around a turn, the wheels on the outside need to spin faster to cover the longer distance. Because the 4MATIC® monitors and adjusts the speeds of every wheel individually, you can whip through turns with precision.
  • Streamlined Driving Experience: The 4MATIC® system is a fully integrated part of your Mercedes-Benz vehicle. It works with all the safety features already present in your car. This ensures that you are getting the best out of the luxury and safety features you deserve.
  • 24/7 Monitoring: Sensors on every wheel adjust to provide you with just the right amount of torque in every direction. This avoids using too much engine power while keeping you gripped to the road.
