Although some critique all-wheel drive systems for restricting driver involvement and enjoyment, there’s no doubt that they add an extra layer of versatility over traditional front- and rear-wheel drive vehicles.

And according to Mercedes-Benz, all-wheel drive can also prove to be the perfect date companion.

In a new commercial promoting the German firm’s 4Matic system, we get to see how an all-wheel drive C-Class can handle the most difficult road conditions, including deep and slippery snow. The GLE also manages to cope with the snow without breaking a sweat. This then all comes together for a couple of young love-birds.

Current Mercedes-Benz models offered with 4Matic systems include the A-Class, B-Class, C-Class, CLA, E-Class, S-Class, G-Class, GLA, GLC, GLE and GLS.
