What Is 4MATIC® in Mercedes-Benz Cars? 

4MATIC® is the proprietary all-wheel-drive (AWD) system developed by Mercedes-Benz. Unlike traditional AWD setups, 4MATIC® is fully integrated into the vehicle’s design, offering optimal traction, stability, and control in a wide range of driving conditions. This system automatically distributes torque to the wheels with the most grip, ensuring confidence whether you’re navigating dry highways, wet roads, or even light snow. 

Mercedes-Benz offers 4MATIC® in multiple configurations—ranging from performance-oriented versions in AMG® models to efficiency-focused versions in sedans and SUVs—so drivers can enjoy the perfect blend of luxury and capability.
