What does 4matic mean?

4matic refers to the 4ETS differential limiting technology, which is the core technology of Mercedes-Benz's 4MATIC four-wheel drive system. Below is a partial introduction to 4ETS: 1. Principle: 4ETS utilizes the automatic braking force distribution function of ABS to achieve differential limitation. Its characteristics include a compact and lightweight design, and it is applied to Mercedes-Benz sedans. 2. Function: 4MATIC enhances the active safety performance of the vehicle during high-speed driving. The 4ETS technology of 4MATIC can dynamically adjust the torque of each wheel from 0% to 100%, thereby optimizing the rational distribution of driving force and ensuring the active safety of the vehicle at high speeds. Additionally, it allows for higher cornering speeds and limits.
4matic is actually an all-wheel drive system developed by Mercedes-Benz, which means it can automatically distribute power to all four wheels while driving. My car is equipped with this feature, and it drives exceptionally stable, especially during rainy or snowy conditions. I remember last winter when I went skiing, the mountain road was extremely slippery due to snow, but the 4matic system worked silently in the background, instantly improving traction without any skidding. Unlike old-fashioned four-wheel drive systems that require manual switching, it's completely intelligent, using sensors to monitor road conditions in real-time and adjust the torque distribution between the front and rear wheels. Not only is it convenient to use, but it also gives peace of mind. I think this system is particularly useful for those who frequently drive long distances or go off-roading because it ensures the car remains stable on various road surfaces—whether it's urban paved roads or rugged rural paths. Overall, 4matic enhances driving comfort and safety, making the drive more confident.
