Mercedes-Benz S-Class Offers 4MATIC as Standard
Innovative All-Wheel-Drive System Included At No Additional Cost
MONTVALE, N.J., Aug 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Lauded by many critics as "the best
car in the world," the Mercedes-Benz S-Class enters the 2005 model year with a
confidence of continued excellence. This year the innovative all-wheel-drive
system, 4MATIC, is offered at no additional cost on the S430 and S500 luxury
sedans. Introduced in November 2002, 4MATIC equipped models accounted for over
30% of model year 2004 S-Class sales.
This exceptional value is offered in response to the overwhelming
acceptance of all-wheel-drive in the S-Class family of vehicles.
Mercedes-Benz 4MATIC is a full-time all-wheel-drive system that uses a 40/60
front/rear torque split through a planetary center differential and requires
no driver intervention. Advanced four-wheel electronic traction control is
used to vary torque distribution to individual wheels under slippery
conditions. Even if three wheels lose traction, 4MATIC can direct power to
just one wheel, front or back, left or right, to keep the car moving. The
system is lightweight (under 200 pounds) and compact, so passenger and cargo
spaces are virtually unaffected.
The S430 sedan uses a 275-horsepower, 4.3-liter V8, while the S500 is
powered by a 302-horsepower, 5.0-liter V8. Both S430 and S500 come fully
equipped with Airmatic air suspension systems with adaptive damping, DVD-based
GPS navigation, the Tele Aid telematics system, premium leather upholstery
with heated front seats, 12-speaker premium Bose sound system with digital
surround sound, ESP stability program and sunroof.
