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

Mercedes-Benz 4MATIC® all-wheel drive is a drivetrain that provides additional traction on the road. If you would like more control on your drives around Katy, consider a Mercedes-Benz model with 4MATIC® all-wheel drive as your next vehicle. This system is also beneficial for traveling in less-than-ideal weather conditions and preserving fuel efficiency. Learn more below with Mercedes-Benz of West Houston.
How Does Mercedes-Benz 4MATIC® All-Wheel Drive Work?
The 4MATIC® all-wheel drive system in your Mercedes-Benz GLS 550 4MATIC® SUV, Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 4MATIC® SUV, or another Mercedes-Benz model works in four different ways to enhance your driving ability in Cypress and beyond:
- Braking, acceleration, and steering all depend on the force sent to the tires of your vehicle. Expanding the power distribution from the front or rear wheels to all four maximizes the force that can be sent to the road.
- When you are headed into a corner, the outside wheels take a longer path than the inside ones. That causes them to rotate at different speeds. The Mercedes-Benz 4MATIC® AWD system monitors wheel spin and ensures it is running as it should.
- Loose dirt, patches of ice, and sudden rain can change a road surface quickly. Luckily, the 4MATIC® AWD system in your Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 4MATIC® SUV monitors conditions and adjusts brakes and engine output to match. It works with an electronic traction system to maintain control.
- In high-performance driving situations, being able to send different amounts of torque to each wheel maximizes your handling.
