What does 4MATIC mean?
2 Answers
4MATIC refers to the 4ETS differential limiting technology, which is the core technology of Mercedes-Benz's 4MATIC four-wheel drive system. 4ETS achieves differential limitation by utilizing the automatic braking force distribution function of ABS. The 4MATIC full-time four-wheel drive system is designed and applied in Mercedes-Benz sedans. The Mercedes-Benz SLC is a sports car under the Mercedes-Benz brand, featuring a body structure of a 2-door, 2-seater hardtop convertible. Its dimensions are 4138mm in length, 1817mm in width, and 1300mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2430mm. The suspension system combines MacPherson strut independent suspension and multi-link independent suspension.
I've always been fascinated by Mercedes-Benz's 4MATIC system, which represents all-wheel drive technology. The name originates from the German words for four wheels and automatic control. This system automatically distributes power between the front and rear wheels, using sensors to monitor wheel slip and quickly adjusting torque via electronic clutches and differentials, ensuring exceptional stability and grip in rain, snow, or when cornering. I still remember test-driving the GLC—it didn't slip at all when taking wet corners, making the drive feel incredibly secure. The downside is slightly higher fuel consumption during city driving, but activating the off-road mode is exhilarating. I recommend choosing a model with this feature. Overall, 4MATIC enhances a vehicle's handling and reliability, making it well worth trying.
