Honda Intelligent All-Wheel Drive: Confidence in Every Drive
Honda’s advanced Intelligent All-Wheel Drive (AWD) systems provide enhanced stability, traction, and control in various road conditions. Whether you’re driving through rain, snow, or rough terrain, Honda’s AWD technology ensures a smoother and safer ride.
What Is Honda Intelligent All-Wheel Drive?
Honda’s Intelligent AWD systems are designed to optimize traction and handling by automatically distributing power between the front and rear wheels. This enhances grip on slippery surfaces and improves cornering performance for a more confident driving experience.
Real Time AWD™: Instant Traction When You Need It
Real Time AWD™ is Honda’s intelligent all-wheel drive system designed for seamless traction management. This system automatically detects wheel slip and adjusts torque distribution to the rear wheels as needed—improving stability on wet, snowy, or uneven roads.
How Real Time AWD™ Works:
- Continuously monitors road conditions and wheel traction.
- Automatically transfers power to the rear wheels when slippage is detected.
- Returns to front-wheel drive operation when AWD is not needed to maximize fuel efficiency.
- Delivers smooth and quick response without driver intervention.
Real Time AWD™ is available on select Honda models, including the Honda CR-V and Honda HR-V, providing enhanced confidence for daily commutes and weekend adventures.
i-VTM4®: Precision Torque for Maximum Control
The intelligent Variable Torque Management™ (i-VTM4®) AWD system is Honda’s most advanced all-wheel drive technology, designed for superior handling, off-road capability, and high-performance traction.
Key Benefits of i-VTM4®:
- Actively distributes torque between the front and rear wheels, as well as between the left and right rear wheels, for maximum stability.
- Enhances cornering performance by applying more power to the outside rear wheel in turns, improving agility and control.
- Provides better traction in challenging conditions, such as snow, mud, and sand.
- Works seamlessly with Honda’s Intelligent Traction Management system for optimized performance on different terrains.
The i-VTM4® system is standard on the Honda Passport, Honda Pilot, and Honda Ridgeline, ensuring these models deliver outstanding performance in all conditions.
