How Does VW 4MOTION® All-Wheel Drive Work?

On other vehicles, all-wheel drive boosts your traction and handling around Pampa by adjusting engine output to each individual wheel. VW 4MOTION® takes your performance a few steps further with unique technology. 4MOTION® monitors your terrain at all times, manipulating your torque and output to boost your performance to the next level. While all tires are engaged, the system will distribute about 90% of power to the front axle and about 10% to the rear axle. This allows you to get the benefits of a front-wheel drive system, like responsiveness and efficiency, along with the benefits of a traditional AWD system.

If your 4MOTION® sensors detect a tire slipping, the AWD system instantly redistributes weight and power. This allows you to maintain the ideal balance of torque, so you never lose control – even on slick roads and rocky trails. Because of this versatility and innovation, Volkswagen AWD is truly in a class of its own.

If you’re intrigued by the 4MOTION® all-wheel drive system, you have plenty of options to explore. From sedans to hatchbacks to SUVs, there’s no shortage of fantastic AWD Volkswagen models to explore. Which will you choose for the open roads ahead?
