What is 4motion in Volkswagen vehicles?
1 Answers
Volkswagen's all-wheel-drive systems can all be referred to as 4motion, but their core technologies differ, resulting in varying off-road capabilities. For Volkswagen, 4motion is similar to what quattro represents for Audi—essentially a registered trademark that no longer distinctly denotes a specific mechanical structure. In most Volkswagen models equipped with 4motion, the Haldex center differential serves as the technological core. Today, this center differential has evolved into a multi-plate clutch differential system, utilizing a combination of mechanical components and electro-hydraulic control systems to achieve intelligent torque distribution.
