Rear wheels help

Intelligent can feed engine through a mechanical driveshaft and direct coupling to the . Engagement varies with conditions; this is one illustrative state.

Auto lets the controller vary rear assistance as conditions change.

How this works

Qualitative power flow and Active Brake Limited Slip, not a traction prediction. Five modes on FWD: Standard, Eco, Sport, Tow and Snow; Intelligent 4x4 adds Sand and Mud/Rut. Snow, Sand and Mud/Rut are for loose or slippery surfaces, not dry hard-surface roads. No low range or axle-lock control. The rear coupling uses a mechanical driveshaft, not an electric motor. Rock Creek adds all-terrain tires and off-road suspension, not independent rear torque-vectoring clutches.

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.
