Why is quattro better than AWD?
Mechanical Strength – Unlike xDrive and 4MATIC all-wheel drive systems, quattro® features more mechanical components which add durability and confidence. BMW and Mercedes-Benz systems skew heavily towards electronic intervention and operation, leaving them susceptible to failure when you need them the most. This quattro system normally splits torque between the front and rear, always powering all four wheels. Power can be quickly sent to the axle with the best traction for enhanced control depending on driving conditions.Permanent all-wheel drive quattro® power is distributed as needed to all four wheels providing high levels of active safety, and dependable traction on most driving surfaces as well as excellent road holding, even in cross-winds.
