See Why Mercedes-Benz 4MATIC Technology Is The Best For Nigerian Roads

Mercedes-Benz has its own all-wheel-drive system called 4Matic. Read on to find out how it works and why it’s good for car owners in Nigeria. You must have seen it get stuck sometimes. Depending on the drivetrain layout, the tires will continue to roll forward or backwards.

With four-wheel drive, this is impossible. Automobiles with auxiliary transmissions do not suffer from this predicament. Mercedes-Benz calls this all-wheel drive system 4MATIC. Just as 4WD is different from FWD, 4Matic is a little different than regular 4WD.

 What is 4Matic?

The 4Matic is Mercedes-Benz’s sophisticated all-wheel drive system that transmits power to all four wheels simultaneously. With this type of propulsion, all four wheels are driven by the engine, allowing the car to navigate any terrain with ease.

All 4Matic vehicles have a logo on the rear of the vehicle. Ten years later, Benz introduced a new innovation to his 4Matic technology with an electronic four-wheel drive traction system in the ML (SUV) model line vehicles. The 4Matic system is used in petrol engines, diesel engines, and even Mercedes-Benz hybrids.

The C-Class, E-Class, GL-Class, and GLK-Class are very popular 4Matic-equipped cars that can be found on the roads of Nigeria as’ Kings’. What makes the 4Matic?  a special all-wheel-drive system is what does this. 4matic is not a normal all-wheel drive that rotates all four wheels simultaneously. Several key features set it apart from its competitors. So what makes it so advantageous from other cars with 4WD

Every Wheel Is Independent

Each wheel rotates at a different speed, allowing for greater precision in each turn. The 4Matic system monitors and adjusts each wheel speed according to the car’s cornering angle to improve handling.

Each wheel also has a sensor to deliver and maintain the right amount of engine power in each direction. Do not use too much engine power when you are on the road.

The 4matic system is completely part of the car 

Unlike other AWD systems that feel like an add-on to the car, the 4Matic is integrated into the car’s powertrain system from the manufacturing stage. 4Matic does not pose a danger to the car as it works in conjunction with all the safety features of Mercedes-Benz vehicles. You must drive in slick, rocky, and filthy conditions. 4Matic offers the best possible ride comfort by automatically adapting to road conditions and automatically achieving maximum driving stability during acceleration.

What are the disadvantages of the 4Matic system? The cons of the 4Matic system are:

The price is more expensive than usual 

Any Benz model is a 4Matic car, which is even more expensive. This extra money can reach N1,000,000 for brand new cars and 500,000 for locally used/Tokunbo Mercedes Benz cars sold in Nigeria. Prices for the Mercedes 4Matic models are a little higher due to high demand and limited supply.

Increased weight and higher fuel usage 

The 4Matic system uses propellers and other components to distribute power to all four wheels simultaneously, which increases the weight of the car. This extra weight means it consumes more fuel than a standard rear-wheel or front-wheel drive Mercedes-Benz vehicle.

Driver Overconfidence

Driving a four-wheel-drive vehicle has psychological consequences. You will feel like you can drive quietly anywhere. This can lead to a lack of attention and a very catastrophic accident.
