Is The Mercedes-Benz 4Matic Really Better Than The Legendary Quattro?

Automakers all make claims about what their various systems can do, and why those systems are better than the competition. Saying your system is better is one thing, backing up that claim with facts and true technical comparisons is a whole different thing. On our trip to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, to test out Mercedes-Benz's latest 4Matic system, we had a chance to talk with Mercedes-Benz's Product and Technology Department Manager, Christian Bokich, about the all-wheel drive system.

Every manufacturer feels their 4-wheel drive system is better.

All the German manufacturers are good at this and really you can't go wrong with any of them.

Oh and Subaru's is the best.

Quattro is really kind of over-rated.

I like the AWD systems that get me good mileage and the traction I need WHEN I need it like BMW and MINI's versions that only power the necessary wheels (rear or fwd and send power to the other wheels when needed)
