How Does Honda AWD Work?

2021 Honda CR-V Touring in Aegean Blue Metallic

 

What is Honda AWD and how does it work? Ryan Honda of Minot is here to help answer these and all your other Honda service and technology-related questions! But before we do, let’s refresh your memory about AWD in general. Typical all-wheel-drive systems engage the front and rear wheels by diverting engine power to both axles at once. The Honda AWD offers a more tailored, intelligent experience for Bismarck drivers.

How Does Honda AWD Work?

Honda AWD, or, as it’s technically called, Honda Real Time AWD™ with Intelligent Control, starts with a front-wheel-drive vehicle, to which a rear differential is added. If you are driving your vehicle in normal conditions, it will operate like a FWD vehicle. But, if you hit a rough surface and your Honda AWD system senses that the vehicle is losing traction, it engages the rear differential with a multi-plate clutch system. In this way, Honda AWD works to help save fuel while also increasing traction and safety on an as-needed basis. 

What’s more, the Honda Real Time AWD™ and Intelligent Control System operates quickly and seamlessly. If your rear wheels are required, an electric motor on your vehicle’s transmission will engage them right away. The process is so smooth, chances are you won’t even know when you’re driving in FWD vs. AWD!

Likewise, the Honda Real Time AWD™ with Intelligent Control System disengages just as easily so you can increase the fuel efficiency you observe on Devils Lake and Dickinson roads.
