Stay Safe All Year Round With AWD and HTrac Hyundai Vehicles

If you’re looking for a vehicle that offers great performance in all kinds of conditions, be sure to check out the new Hyundai models that are equipped with Hyundai’s HTrac and AWD technology. These systems provide increased control and great performance in a variety of weather and road conditions, so you can enjoy a safe drive at all times.

Hyundai offers a whole lot more for today’s driver than their unprecedented 10-year/100,000-mile warranty. The Korean carmaker’s entire lineup is affordable and packed with technology and safety features, and all of their crossovers and SUVs have all-wheel drive available. AWD gives drivers the best of both worlds, using the more fuel-efficient front-wheel-drive as conditions permit. But when the “smart” AWD system senses a loss of traction in one or both rear tires, it automatically sends power to the wheel in need to maintain contact with the road. Let’s take a look at each of the AWD Hyundai models.

What does All-Wheel-Drive mean?

For New England drivers like us, AWD is a great option. Our weather is unpredictable and the snow really piles up throughout the winter, so we need to be prepared. When your vehicle is equipped with all-wheel drive, you’re ready to take on just about anything. If it starts to snow on your drive home or you have to leave for work before the plows get to your neighborhood, you can count on your Hyundai’s AWD system (and hopefully a good set of snow tires) to provide the traction and control you need to get to your destination safely.
The Hyundai AWD system is available on a number of different models. It provides increased traction and cornering control by sending torque or applying the brakes to the wheels that need it. This ensures that you can enjoy refined control, great performance and a safe drive. In slippery or difficult driving conditions, all-wheel drive can help get you going and keep you going in mud, sand, snow, and other loose surfaces. AWD vehicles are especially handy in rapidly changing conditions, because they are responsive enough to react to a road with intermittent snow and ice.
