The purpose of all-wheel drive (AWD) and four-wheel drive (4WD) systems is to improve traction on the road, especially in slippery or less-than-ideal driving conditions. While they essentially share the same purpose, there are a few differences that set the two systems apart:
Currently, no VW models feature traditional 4WD. While 4MOTION® delivers the benefits of both 4WD and AWD, it’s technically a Volkswagen all-wheel-drive system.
Let’s start with the basics. Volkswagen AWD is an intuitive drive system that doesn’t even need to be turned on or off. Volkswagen AWD automatically adjusts the power to the different wheels for better traction on The Autobarn Volkswagen of Countryside roads. When all tires are engaged, the system will distribute about 90% of power to the front axle and about 10% to the rear axle.
Volkswagen 4MOTION® AWD is a more efficient version of standard AWD and includes some great features of both AWD and 4WD. It still detects which tires need more power based on which ones are getting the most traction, but the 4MOTION® AWD system also uses a special feature of 4WD. When the road conditions level off, the system automatically reverts back to either FWD or RWD, which helps with fuel economy by minimizing the power output.
If you’re asking, “Which Volkswagen cars are AWD?” you’ll be pleased to know Volkswagen offers many of its vehicles with 4MOTION® AWD, giving Naperville drivers lots of different size options. These Volkswagen vehicles come with 4MOTION® AWD:
