Three benefits of the Volkswagen 4Motion all-wheel drive system

The Volkswagen 4Motion all-wheel drive system found in vehicles like the Volkswagen Tiguan, Volkswagen Taos, both Volkswagen Atlas models, and the Volkswagen Golf R has many benefits that owners enjoy every single day. We tend to think of all-wheel drive systems as being only useful in winter, but an efficient all-wheel drive system is something that is beneficial year-round. Here are three specific benefits of the Volkswagen 4Motion AWD system.

Constant grip

The Volkswagen 4Motion system is different from other all-wheel drive systems. Most systems have a set power distribution ratio where a certain percentage of torque is sent to the front wheels with the balance to the rear wheels. The Volkswagen 4Motion system works in a similar fashion but the technology is constantly varying the amount of torque sent to the front and rear axles based on driving situations and the driving mode chosen. This constant torque distribution means that your Volkswagen has constant grip in any situation.

Quick reaction times to changing conditions

Again, this constant variation of torque means that if conditions were to change suddenly like an unexpected object on the road that you have to avoid or puddles of water on the highway, the Volkswagen 4Motion system is able to react almost immediately to the situation in order to ensure that your vehicle remains stable.

Improved efficiency

Although the 4Motion all-wheel drive system is constantly engaged, in normal driving conditions such as when you are cruising down the highway at a stable speed or driving on a clear day in the city, the 4Motion all-wheel drive system is essentially a front-wheel drive technology. That means that you enjoy the fuel consumption of a front-wheel drive vehicle. Give us a call today to learn more.
