How Does Hyundai HTRAC® AWD Work? 

Do you love to hit the trails on weekends and enjoy an adventure? All-wheel drive will upgrade performance on the trail and in inclement weather and when you choose the Hyundai brand – that means Hyundai HTRAC® AWD. Armed with Hyundai HTRAC® AWD, models like the 2022 Hyundai Tucson provide the capability and performance that you crave. Scottsdale-area families interested in an all-wheel drive Hyundai car, truck or SUV want to know – how does Hyundai HTRAC® AWD work – and we are here to answer your questions at Earnhardt Hyundai of North Scottsdale. 



What Does Hyundai HTRAC® AWD Do? 

Hyundai HTRAC® AWD is an intelligent multi-mode system that provides all the benefits of all-wheel drive traction when additional grip is needed with the efficient fuel-economy numbers of front-wheel drive in normal conditions. This innovative system uses an array of sensors to monitor traction and distribute power to the front and rear axles as needed via an electronic variable-torque-split clutch with active torque control technology.  

The Hyundai HTRAC® AWD system will operate in front-wheel drive in standard conditions to promote fuel economy. When a loss of traction is detected by the sensors or you choose to use the driver-selectable modes, torque is diverted to the rear axle to improve traction and performance. Armed with driver-selectable modes, Hyundai HTRAC® AWD allows you to customize performance with a wider range of torque distribution than many competitors. Select Hyundai models equipped with Hyundai HTRAC® AWD will provide drivers with Normal, Sport and Smart drive modes.
