Mechanical AWD

i-Activ AWD sends engine power through the six-speed automatic and a mechanical driveshaft to the rear axle. Its controller varies drive with conditions; this drawing shows both axles powered without claiming a fixed torque percentage.

How this works

Gas and Turbo use mechanical rear drive. Hybrid uses a separate rear electric motor and has 219 hp combined system output. These motor peaks cannot be added together. No fixed torque split, axle lockers or low range. Meridian tires do not change the drive architecture.

Illustrative wheel states, not a traction test. Towing mode needs the correct Turbo towing accessories and is outside this demonstration. No FWD variant is offered.

About these comparisons

Each illustration and link uses the build behind its number. Comparisons cover the model years and bodies in our guides. Different rows can use different trims and equipment. Missing values aren’t treated as zero; reported prices and inferred ratings aren’t ranked.

  • Lowest listed trim price in each guide, before destination, options, taxes and fees. Cab and body styles can differ.
  • Highest published output found in each guide. This compares available power, not acceleration or the trim you selected.
  • Best published combined rating found in each guide, including regular hybrids. Plug-in ratings and inferred matches are excluded.
