- guax 2y agoSure. Car manufacturers do not reinvent terms for marketing. They all agree on the same term always.
- kelnos 2y agoExactly. Mercedes calls theirs "4MATIC", which might make you think it's 4WD, but nope, it's AWD. (Technically the full name for it is "4MATIC AWD", but no one actually calls it that.)
