Mercedes-Benz 2018 A250 is a front-wheel drive vehicle as standard, but a 4MATIC all-wheel drive system was available as an option on some variants. The standard A250 comes with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, and while the 4MATIC is an all-wheel drive system, the regular A250 models are front-wheel drive, with the four-wheel drive being reserved for specific performance models like the A35 and A45
