All-wheel drive
All-wheel drive, AWD (All Wheel Drive), means that the car is driving all four wheels at the same time, which improves traction.
The electric motor that drives the rear wheels enables electric all-wheel drive functionality.
To achieve the best possible traction and prevent wheel spin the motive force is distributed automatically to the wheels with the best grip. The system continuously calculates the need for torque to the rear wheels, and can immediately redistribute up to half of the motor's torque to the rear wheels.
All-wheel drive also has a stabilising effect at higher speeds. Under normal driving conditions, the majority of power is transmitted to the front wheels. When stationary, the all-wheel drive is always engaged in preparation for maximum traction during acceleration.
All-wheel drive characteristics vary depending on the selected drive mode.
