Toyota RAV4 2015: It has proactive automatic four-wheel drive with Auto, Lock and Sport modes. In Auto mode, the car has front-wheel drive under normal conditions. If wheel slip is detected, torque is transferred to the rear wheels via an electronically controlled multi-plate clutch. In Sport mode, torque is transferred almost instantly between the front and rear wheels to enhance cornering performance by sending up to 50 percent of engine power to the rear wheels. Lock mode can be activated when driving below 40 km/h (25 mph) and provides constant four-wheel drive. | |||
| Ground clearance: | 185 mm (7.3 inches) | 155 mm (6.1 inches) | |
| Because of the higher ground clearance, Kia Sorento can perform better on bad roads - it can go over higher obstacles and bumps. At the same time, the higher ground clearance can reduce stability and handling on paved roads, especially at higher speeds. Note, however, that this Kia Sorento version does not have 4x4 drive, which is very important in poor road conditions. Choose from seven 4x4 versions of Kia Sorento 2018 if off-road driveability is important to you. | |||
