Always ready to send torque to every wheel, 4MATIC® integrates with ESP®, or Electronic Stability Program, for maximum effectiveness in corners and slick conditions. It also incorporates a 4-wheel Electronic Traction System (4-ETS®), which monitors wheel slip and sends a signal that ensures torque is sent to the wheels with the best grip, even if that’s only one wheel.
