What is Volkswagen 4MOTION®?
Volkswagen vehicles are unique in many ways. From their sporty, aerodynamic style to their state-of-the-art technology, they always offer an incredible driving experience around Dearborn, Detroit, and Hamtramck, MI. What really helps them stand out, though, is 4MOTION®, which adds to their ability to keep you on track, no matter where you are.
If you’re wondering, “What is Volkswagen 4MOTION®?”, LaFontaine Volkswagen is happy to give you an overview!
What is 4MOTION® and How Does it Work?
Many vehicles come with All-Wheel Drive, which distributes appropriate power and torque to all four wheels on a car instead of two. Drivers who are daily commuters often prefer All-Wheel Drive because it can keep the vehicle stable on different surfaces.
Volkswagen 4MOTION® takes that concept and expands on it, as it distributes power between the front and rear axles on a variable basis using a multi-plate clutch. All-Wheel Drive on a Volkswagen is constantly engaged, so the vehicle does the legwork. 4MOTION® can quickly adapt to the elements, giving you peace of mind that you’ll stay safe driving in rough conditions.
While you can’t actively engage 4MOTION®, if your Volkswagen has an Active Control system, you can sift through Snow, On-Road, Off-Road, and Off-Road Custom modes, which will help 4MOTION® distribute the power you need.
Which Volkswagen Vehicles Have 4MOTION®?
There are several Volkswagen vehicles with 4MOTION®. They are as follows:
- Volkswagen Tiguan
- Volkswagen Atlas and VW Atlas Cross Sport
- Volkswagen Golf R
- Volkswagen Arteon
- Volkswagen Taos
4MOTION® can be paired with several different powertrains for peak performance. Additionally, when you combine this All-Wheel Drive feature with various safety features, such as the Post-Collision Braking system, you can avoid danger altogether.
