BMW X1 2015: This generation BMW has Haldex Generation V proactive automatic four-wheel drive system which sends 100% of the torque to the front wheels by default. The system analyzes input from the ABS and engine control units and can increase pressure on the multi-disc clutch for faster engagement when needed. When wheel spin is detected, torque can be split evenly between the axles (50%/50%). Renault Kadjar 2015: Kadjar has an automatic four-wheel drive system with three modes: 2WD, AUTO and LOCK. In 2WD and AUTO modes, it`s a front-wheel drive vehicle under normal conditions. In AUTO mode, if wheel spin is detected, up to 50% of torque can be sent to the rear wheels. In LOCK mode, the center differential is engaged to provide a preset 50/50 power distribution between the front and rear axles. | |||
