Toyota RAV4 2012: 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 instantaneously between the front and rear wheels to improve cornering performance, with up to 50 percent of engine power going to the rear wheels. Lock mode can be activated at speeds below 40 km/h and provides constant four-wheel drive. Nissan Qashqai 2013: Nissan ALL-MODE 4x4 all-wheel drive system automatically distributes torque between the axles from 100 percent to the front wheels to a 50/50 ratio depending on road conditions, ensuring safe and precise handling. | |||
