The Swedish automaker’s implementation of power to all four wheels enhances traction and stability, particularly in challenging conditions such as snow, ice, or rain. This system typically distributes power dynamically between the front and rear axles, adjusting to provide optimal grip based on real-time road conditions. For example, if the front wheels begin to lose traction, more power is automatically shifted to the rear wheels to maintain control and forward momentum.
Enhanced safety and driver confidence are key advantages of this drivetrain technology. By maximizing tire contact with the road surface, the system contributes to improved handling and responsiveness, especially when cornering or accelerating. Historically, this capability was often associated with off-road vehicles. However, its integration into passenger cars has become increasingly common, reflecting a demand for enhanced all-weather performance and improved vehicle dynamics. This development contributes to a safer and more controlled driving experience, regardless of the conditions.
