Honda All-Wheel Drive (AWD) System

If there’s one thing folks like to do around here, it’s off-roading.


And as any off-roader can tell you, you need a good 4-wheel or all-wheel drive vehicle to get it done. That’s why so many of our Lexington customers love their Honda AWD vehicles. But AWD vehicles are good for more than just driving off-road. Driving in inclement weather is much safer with AWD, as it provides better traction and better control. That means this much less chance of slipping on wet or snowy roads. But how does Honda AWD work? Which Honda models have AWD? Find out with Gates Honda!

How Does Honda AWD Work?

So, how does Honda AWD work? It’s really interesting, actually! Honda uses two different AWD systems, using one for some of its models and the other one for remaining AWD models:

  • Intelligent Variable Torque Management (i-VMT4) AWD – This amazing system monitors all four wheels at once to calculate exactly how much torque each wheel needs. It then distributes that power to each of the wheels. Pretty cool, huh?
  • Real Time AWD with Intelligent Control System – This efficient AWD system continuously monitors the rear wheels with special sensors. If those sensors detect any loss in traction in the rear wheels, power is diverted to them.
