The 4MATICĀ® system helps shift the vehicleā€™s weight toward the front wheels, which makes them work harder. When the vehicle accelerates, the weight is shifted to the rear and when rounding a corner, the weight shifts toward the tires on the outside of the turn. By doing this, each wheel always has optimum grip and torque.
