The axle shaft for the left front wheel passes through a tube that's encapsulated in the engine oil pan. Fuel efficiency has been improved, due to a number of innovative measures that minimize the energy needed to turn the extra all-wheel-drive shafts and gears. In particular, only two gears now power the front driveshaft (instead of the previous three), and the direction of rotation is cleverly corrected in the front final drive without additional gears. Recessing the universal joint for the front driveshaft into the transmission output gear also saved space, helping to fit the entire drive system into the standard body shell. The new Mercedes-Benz C-Class 4MATIC also comes with a multi-plate clutch tucked into the center differential that provides the extra traction benefits of a limited-slip diff while complementing the four-wheel traction-control system. Sometimes called a "breakaway" clutch, the multi-plate unit helps provide power equally to the front and rear wheels when driving straight ahead, but still allows the front wheels to rotate faster in turns. In a sense, the clutch is a proactive traction aid, while the four-wheel traction control reacts after wheel slippage is sensed.

Mercedes-Benz has been building four-wheel-drive commercial vehicles since 1907 - a full 100 years of experience with all-wheel drive. The 4MATIC all-wheel-drive system made its world debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1985, and Mercedes-Benz launched 4MATIC-equipped passenger cars in the U.S. 1989 model year. The full-time 4MATIC system made its debut on the 1998 E-Class sedan and wagon as well as on the M-Class sport utility. Engineers called out that the engine now sits lower and more reward in the chassis, contributing to improve dynamics and F/R weight balance. For the first time in any Mercedes, the new C-Class makes use of the new "RobScan" joining process, the latest in laser welding technology. RobScan enables high work speed combined with narrow welding seams, and about 640 RobScan welding seams are used in the door, side wall and rear body areas. Other lightweight materials are used where they offer the most advantages. For example, the doors, front safety structure, front fenders and rear parcel shelf are made of aluminum, while the spare tire well is formed of plastic.

Lastly, the use of high-strength adhesives contributes to the strength of the body shell by creating a strong bond between the steel flanges and supplementing conventional processes such as laser/spot welding. More than 196 feet of bonded seams help to increase load resistance and the transfer of forces, especially in safety related areas. Overall, the body weighs more than 17 pounds less than its predecessor, yet the torsional rigidity of the new car is increased by 13 percent, providing even better crash protection, sharper handling and lower road vibration. The 2008 Mercedes-Benz C-Class front suspension combines two separate lower links with a coil spring strut, along with a twin-tube gas shock and a stabilizer bar. Rather than one large control arm like a conventional MacPherson strut, the two forged-aluminum lower links of low mass help provide better impact absorption in the case of a frontal impact. Low mass also contributes to more precisely-tuned wheel control and damping. In addition, sensitivity to wheel imbalance or brake fluctuations is minimized.

The front suspension links are mounted to a new sub-frame of high-strength steel that also carries the engine and transmission as well as the aluminum rack-and-pinion steering unit, which is mounted in front of the wheel center. The proven five-link independent rear suspension (pioneered by Mercedes-Benz in 1984 for the 190E and used in all subsequent M-B passenger cars) has been updated for the newest C-Class. Mercedes engineers have redesigned its parts to minimize unsprung weight and optimize strength. Furthermore, suspension engineers revised all the elastokinematics - the designed-in wheel deflection under extreme load - to ensure optimum response to vibration and enhance the sedan's predictability while driven hard. A newly designed rear sub-frame, also of high-strength steel, holds the rear final drive and suspension links. Available next year, a special suspension package will feature electronically controlled shock absorbers that go beyond the ADS adaptive damping systems found in some other Mercedes-Benz models.
