Tackle any kind of weather head on with Volvo All-Wheel-Drive. Volvo All-Wheel-Drive with Instant Traction™ allows drivers to maintain the best possible traction, on both wet and dry surfaces. That extra confidence and control allows Volvo driver's to reach their destination safely.
How Does Volvo All-Wheel-Drive Work?
All-Wheel-Drive comes in handy when road conditions are snowy or wet. If a wheel loses traction on an all-wheel-drive equipped Volvo, power directed to the slippery wheel is immediately reduced and instantly transferred to the other wheels that have better traction. This power transfer delivers stability and maximum traction. Even when the surface is dry, Volvo All-Wheel-Drive is able to direct power primarily to the front wheels for maximum traction and fuel efficiency. For example, Volvo S60 Polestar integrates All-Wheel-Drive with Torque Vectoring to achieve maximum grip under heavy acceleration and braking.
