Many Depere car-buyers choose Honda all-wheel drive or 4WD vehicles for the enhanced traction, but are these two drivetrains the same?

The difference between Honda all-wheel drive and four-wheel drive vehicles has to do with how power is distributed between the four wheels. In AWD systems, torque (twisting force) is sent to both the front and rear axles in equal amounts.
Honda 4-wheel drive cars use intelligent monitoring technology to scan road conditions and to ascertain the traction of each wheel. Then, the system sends torque to the axles that need it most in order to regain or maintain traction. In addition, the system scans traction levels for each wheel individually and then distributes power as needed.
As you read above, Honda 4-wheel drive vehicles use advanced monitoring technology to detect the level of torque each wheel needs in real time:

The right choice really depends on what you need from your vehicle, based on factors ranging from the weather in Appleton to your driving habits. For most drivers, Honda vehicles with Real Time AWD are a great choice:
