Kia All-Wheel Drive

Like many drivers, you may already know that all-wheel drive provides your car with a number of performance benefits. All-wheel drive is one of the top drivetrain choices for people who own a sports car or other performance-oriented vehicles. All-wheel drive has unique advantages for performance vehicles because it can adapt and adjust rapidly to changes on the road. However, all-wheel drive is just as valuable for people who want a safe car to drive for the same reason that it can adapt nearly instantly to provide the wheels with extra power and control as necessary. All-wheel drive is, therefore, one of the few drivetrains that appeal equally to people who want to drive a sporty coupe and those who want a family-oriented SUV or sedan.

Why is All-Wheel Drive Important?

All-wheel drive provides car owners with added assurance and peace of mind. Whether you're commuting to work, venturing off-road, or doing laps at the track, all-wheel drive jumps into action to keep your Kia balanced and in control. All-wheel drive may kick into gear when it senses that the wheels are slipping or don't have as much grip as they should when the road gets snowy or slick with rainfall. Since it has an intuitive and responsive mechanism, all-wheel drive is one of the most popular drivetrains that automakers put on their cars. Kia is no exception, and you'll find all-wheel drive used on many of Kia's sedans and crossovers. Along with enhancing performance, all-wheel drive also makes a vehicle safer to drive because it can correct the wheels to help the car maintain traction and control and therefore avoid skidding or sliding. All-wheel drive is considered an important safety asset for many cars because it can often detect and avert mishaps on the road related to traction and control before they become a safety hazard. Just as it keeps track of the wheels' motion on your vehicle, all-wheel drive also works closely with the braking system to help your car stop quickly as needed. All-wheel drive can keep the tires from sliding when you hit the brakes, which is also an important function for preventing accidents.

How Does All-Wheel Drive Work on a Kia?

Kia's all-wheel drive system works by using sensors to monitor the motion of the wheels. The all-wheel drive system will distribute power to either all four wheels simultaneously or send torque to the rear wheels if Kia's tires start sliding.
