The all-wheel drive ensures a better grip of the wheels on the ground, which is particularly important on slippery or loose surfaces such as snow, ice or gravel.
The distribution of the drive force to all four wheels significantly improves the stability of the vehicle on challenging surfaces. At the same time, the permanent all-wheel drive with torque-on-demand automatically adapts itself to the driving conditions in milliseconds always offering the best traction.
The all-wheel drive offers additional tractive power, which makes it ideal for trailer operation, uphill driving and acceleration.
Sprinter 4x4
Master steep ascents, journeys on loose or slippery ground and challenging road conditions: The all-wheel drive distributes the drive force to the front and rear axles as required. If oversteer or understeer is imminent, it becomes active in a stabilizing manner. In mountain regions, heavy vehicles in particular benefit from more control when moving off and maneuvering. Since the all-wheel drive also increases ground clearance and fording depth, steeper ramp and gust angle can also be driven on. This is a plus, particularly on unsurfaced roads and at construction sites.
Vito 4x4
Better traction in difficult road conditions: On slippery surfaces, wheels with insufficient traction can be braked using the 4ETS electronic traction system. At the same time, the drive torque is transferred to the wheels with good traction. The power is distributed to the front and rear axle in a ratio of 45:55. Since the vehicle height hardly changes due to the all-wheel drive, the vehicle's underground car park capability is still ensured.
