Skoda Expands Its 4X4 Range
Combustion-engine 4x4 models use a new generation electronically controlled multi-plate clutch, integrated with the vehicle’s systems for faster, smoother torque distribution and improved handling
Predictive all-wheel-drive control adjusts torque distribution within milliseconds, enhancing traction, stability and safety on wet roads, snow and unpaved surfaces
Škoda 4x4 models enjoy particularly strong demand in Alpine and Nordic markets
“Škoda all-wheel-drive vehicles combine everyday usability with even greater driving stability and safety. The AWD system of our combustion engine models is designed to react within milliseconds when wheels start to slip, using an inter-axle clutch and torque vectoring to direct torque where it is most effective.
Moreover, a multi-link rear axle improves ride comfort, especially when traction is low. In the all-electric Enyaq and Elroq models, software coordinates the electric motors on both axles to provide AWD performance in all conditions. Additional features of our Škoda 4x4 models that further support the driver on demanding surfaces include off-road mode and downhill assistance.”
