All Wheel Drive (AWD)
All-wheel drive (AWD 5 ), also called four-
wheel drive, means that power is distributed
to all four wheels, which improves traction.
The electric motor that powers the rear wheels
enables electronic all-wheel drive functionality.
All-wheel drive reacts differently depending on
which drive mode is selected.

Drive systems
The vehicle combines a combustion engine
for the front wheels and an electric motor for
the rear wheels.
Two drive systems
Depending on the selected drive mode and
power available in the electric motor, the drive
systems can either be used separately or in
tandem.
The electric motor gets its energy from a
hybrid battery located under the tunnel con-
sole. The hybrid can be charged from a wall
outlet or in a special charging station. The
combustion engine can also charge the hybrid
battery using a special high-voltage generator.
Both the combustion engine and the electric
motor can generate power directly to the
wheels. An advanced control system coordi-
nates both the drive systems to help optimize
driving economy.
