Hochgurgl high up in Austrian the Alps is covered with snow and ice in winter. That makes it a perfect place to see what Mercedes cars equipped with 4Matic all-wheel drive can do.It's no surprise that SUVs and traditional 4-wheel drive vehicles can handle snow and ice. Mercedes-Benz built its first all-wheel drive vehicle more than 100 years ago. Its first all-wheel drive passenger sedan, an E-class, was introduced in 1987 and today the company offers about 50 models with 4Matic. The newest, the CLS luxury sedan, is at home on snow as any SUV.
