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

The 4MATIC® All-Wheel Drive system in your Mercedes-Benz GLS 550 4MATIC® SUV or Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 4MATIC® SUV works in four different ways to enhance your driving ability in Frankfort and beyond:

Braking, acceleration, and steering all depend on the force sent to your car’s tires. By 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’re 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 makes sure it’s 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. Luckily, your Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 4MATIC® SUV does just that.
