1 Answers
Mercedes-Benz's 4matic is indeed a four-wheel drive system. 4matic is Mercedes-Benz's permanent all-wheel drive system. Mercedes-Benz models with the 4matic badge at the rear are equipped with this all-wheel drive system. Vehicles equipped with the permanent all-wheel drive system have power distributed to all four wheels at all times. The permanent all-wheel drive system can enhance the mechanical grip of the wheels, and with improved mechanical grip, the vehicle's handling and driving stability are also enhanced. This system utilizes three open differentials: front, center, and rear. The center and rear differentials employ a lockable multi-plate clutch structure, functionally achieving the role of a traditional differential lock. With the assistance of four-channel ABS, torque can be distributed to each wheel, ensuring maximum driving safety and enabling powerful off-road capabilities.
