4MOTION is Volkswagen's permanent four-wheel drive system. Here are some related introductions: Advanced technology: As a representative of Volkswagen's advanced technology, the Volkswagen 4MOTION system can freely distribute power to the front and rear wheels according to the different conditions of the vehicle's driving terrain, and even rely on the system to apply all driving force to a single wheel when necessary. In theory, Volkswagen models equipped with 4MOTION can easily meet various complex terrains through power distribution. It can even control the power of a single axle between 0-100% of the total power, and can easily achieve an excellent front and rear axle power distribution ratio of 50:50.
I've been driving a Volkswagen for several years. The 4MOTION is essentially their in-house all-wheel drive system, which means the car can power both the front and rear wheels simultaneously. It's particularly stable on slippery roads or when going up and down mountain roads. For example, last winter my family and I drove north, and despite the snow-covered roads, the car didn't slip once—all thanks to 4MOTION intelligently distributing power in the background. Compared to two-wheel drive vehicles, it's much more reliable on wet and slippery curves, with significantly better grip, giving you peace of mind. Nowadays, many popular Volkswagen models like the Tiguan and Golf come equipped with it. You might not notice much difference driving in the city, but once the road conditions worsen, it becomes a lifesaver. However, regular maintenance of the all-wheel-drive components is essential, as repairs can be costly if something goes wrong. I recommend getting the drivetrain checked at an authorized dealership. Overall, this system offers great value for money and is ideal for those who love long-distance travel.
