If youve taken a look at the new Mercedes-Benz lineup lately, youve likely seen a number of models with the term 4MATIC® tacked onto the end. Far from just an obscure reference, 4MATIC is the sophisticated and unique all-wheel drive system designed, engineered, and implemented by the team at Mercedes-Benz. Here, well explore what goes into making this coveted drivetrain and why its such a great option for those looking for superior traction and handling. When youre ready, check out the 4MATIC® lineup near Milton and Hamilton at Mercedes-Benz Burlington.

Variations of 4MATIC

There are different versions of the 4MATIC drivetrain, each of which is light, fuel-efficient, responsive, and capable of sending power to all four wheels depending on the amount of traction and slippage each wheel is getting:

  • 4MATIC Variable All-Wheel Drive This version of 4MATIC is able to send power to the front or rear axle based on road conditions, operating like a front-wheel drive vehicle to save gas when conditions are good and switching into AWD mode when conditions demand.
  • 4MATIC Permanent All-Wheel Drive Depending on the version of 4MATIC you get, this system is able to distribute power at 45:55 or 50:50 between the front and rear axles. If wheels from one axle are slipping, more torque is sent to those wheels.
  • AMG® 4MATIC All-Wheel Drive When youre looking for a higher level of performance, opt for an AMG vehicle with variable or permanent 4MATIC all-wheel drive to get AMG hydraulics and other sophisticated performance features to deliver an even better response.
