4Matic has proven to be a popular feature on various Mercedes-Benz models, especially in U.S. regions that experience four distinct seasons. But while all-wheel-drive is almost a necessary option in the luxury sedan segment, Daimler’s C-Class and E-Class coupes have soldiered on only with rear-drive.
According to *Car and Driver, *that will change for next year. The 4Matic system will reportedly only be offered with the company’s 3.5-liter V6, which pumps out 302 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque.
This news could mean changes for the C-Class sedan as well. Currently, 4Matic is only offered with the 3.0-liter V6-equipped C300 sedan, so this could mean that the C350 sedan could also get an AWD option in 2012. That’s good news for grip-loving buyers who want more oomph than the modestly powered 228-horsepower C300 can provide.Mercedes C- and E-Class coupes to get AWD option next year originally appeared on Autoblog on Wed, 07 Dec 2011 17:29:00 EST.
