Gearbox and Drive Type: 9-Speed Automatic / AWD
Power is routed through a standard 9G-TRONIC 9-speed torque-converter automatic transmission (with no manual stick variant available). The drive type is permanent All-Wheel Drive (AWD), marketed as Mercedes' 4MATIC system, distributing torque actively between the front and rear axles. It relies on an automatic dual-clutch plate module internally governed by hydraulic controls.
