Mercedes-Benz S-Class

The Mercedes-Benz S-Class is now available with the permanent all-wheel-drive system, 4MATIC. Developed entirely from scratch, the new 4MATIC drive system features a planetary-gear-type centre differential to ensure that drive power is permanently split between the front and rear wheels at a fixed ratio of 45 : 55. The result is effortless and predictable handling over all surfaces. Plus, there is an integral multi-plate clutch for added traction and optimum handling stability when the wheels are just starting to slip. And with the added assistance of the electronic dynamic handling control systems ESP, ASR and 4ETS, the S-Class 4MATIC gives the drivers the peace of mind of a dynamic, comfortable and safer ride, even in the most adverse road conditions.
