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

With Mercedes-Benz 4MATIC® all-wheel drive, you’re getting more traction, control, and confidence on the streets of Lee's Summit. Available in many Mercedes-Benz vehicles, this exciting and advanced AWD system offers lots of benefits, such as: 

• More grip during bad weather, including rain, sleet, or snow
• Preserves strong fuel economy
• Distributes power to the wheels that can use it best

Mercedes-Benz 4MATIC® All-Wheel Drive: How Does It Work?

There are four ways to enhance your driving ability in the Leawood, KS area and beyond:

• Braking, acceleration, and steering will depend on the force sent to your car’s tires. Expanding the power distribution from the front or rear wheels to all four maximizes the force you can send to the road.
• When driving into a corner, the outside wheels take a longer path than the inside tires, causing them to rotate at different speeds. The 4MATIC® system monitors wheel spin to ensure it’s running correctly.
• Loose dirt, patches of ice, and sudden rain can quickly change the road’s surface. The 4MATIC® AWD system monitors conditions and adjusts brakes and engine output to match while also working with an electronic traction system to keep control.
• Sending different amounts of torque to each wheel allows you to maximize your handling in high-performance driving situations. And 4MATIC® all-wheel drive does that.
