奔驰近日发布了威霆四驱版本。这款车旨在吸引那些经常需要在寒冷气候驾驶车辆的消费者，该车采用偏后轮四驱的4ETS四轮电子牵引力系统。当某个车轮发生打滑时，感应器会传达信号给4ETS系统，此时车载电脑会对失去抓地力的车轮进行合理制动并停止对此车轮的动力输出，同时将有效的动力分配给其他几个还具有抓地力的车轮。奔驰表示，该系统可在几毫秒内做出反应，可进行三种不同的锁止模式。威霆四驱版只提供2.15升四缸引擎，功率140千瓦/190马力，扭矩440牛米，搭配7G-TRONIC PLUS变速器，车辆最高时速199公里，百公里油耗6.4升，每公里二氧化碳排放量169克。目前该车在德国已经开始接受预订，起价36120欧元（约合人民币25.17万元），未来还将增加两款入门级车型，功率分别为100千瓦/136马力和120千瓦/163马力。
Mercedes Vito 4x4 announced
Mercedes has unveiled the new Vito 4x4.
Designed to appeal to business owners in cold climates, the Vito 4x4 has a rear-biased all-wheel drive system that is backed up by a 4ETS Electronic Traction System. The latter system individually brakes wheels that lose grip and directs power to the wheels with traction. Mercedes says this happens in a matter of milliseconds and mimics the effect of three differential locks.
At launch, the Vito 4x4 will be available exclusively with a 2.15-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 190 PS (140 kW) and 440 Nm (324 lb-ft) of torque. It is connected to a 7G-TRONIC PLUS transmission which enables the van to hit a top speed of 199 km/h (123 mph) and return 6.4 L/100 km (36.7 mpg US / 44.1 mpg UK) with CO2 emissions of 169 g/km.
The Vito 4x4 is currently available to order and German pricing starts at €36,120. It will eventually be joined by two entry-level variants which have outputs of 136 PS (100 kW) and 163 PS (120 kW).
