i-Activ AWD · normal

Automatic AWD

The engine drives the front wheels and can also drive the rear wheels through a driveshaft. i-Activ adjusts drive as conditions change. The animation does not show how much power each receives.

How this works

This shows how power reaches the wheels. It does not predict grip or promise recovery. Assist is not for paved roads, tire chains or a different-size temporary spare. The 2026 owner’s manual describes Recovery Assist as Off-Road Traction Assist. It cancels after an engine restart. The new brake system is automatic; no driver-selected lock is modeled.

i-Activ AWD is standard on all eight trims. Both engines use a six-speed automatic; neither has an electric rear motor.
