Mercedes-Benz GL-Class Off-Roader: All-wheel drive

The GL doesn't know what bad road conditions are

You will get to virtually anywhere you want to in the GL. After all, it hasn't just been fitted with an all-wheel drive system - it has been fitted with 4MATIC. The Mercedes-Benz permanent all-wheel drive system offers the best possible traction and increased driving stability - in poor driving conditions too.

4MATIC all-wheel drive

The 4MATIC permanent all-wheel drive provides dynamic handling and can help enhance your safety – particularly in challenging driving situations. 4MATIC elevates the driving dynamics, traction and handling.
Even when the going gets tough, 4MATIC all-wheel drive helps you keep moving more safely. If there is a risk of wheels spinning on surfaces with different degrees of grip, in a fraction of a second selective brake interventions redirect the engine's torque to the wheels that are not spinning.
The advantages at a glance:

  • Ultimate safety: as the 4MATIC system is always active, it scarcely needs any time to react in unfavourable weather conditions such as heavy rain, black ice or snow
  • Working as a team: the all-wheel drive works on the basis of a two-stage transfer case and, in combination with the powerful engines and the automatic transmission, ensures excellent driving dynamics
  • Additional systems: the ESP® Electronic Stability Program and 4ETS Electronic Traction System with integral ABS and ASR acceleration skid control functions increase the effect of the all-wheel drive further still, thereby giving outstanding traction and handling
  • High traction capability: the 4ETS electronic traction system brakes spinning wheels individually or on each axle
