all-wheel-drive. The principle is simple: in the same way that four
brakes ensure better deceleration, four permanently-driven wheels
deliver better acceleration and road-holding, pushing or pulling the

distributes drive power between the front and rear axles depending
on weather conditions, road surface and gradient, which increases
flexibility for an enhanced, more dynamic drive.
