quattro features
Rear sport differential
The available rear sport differential sends power to the outside rear wheel when turning, allowing the rear wheel to rotate faster for improved cornering performance.
Variable torque split
A variable torque split between the front and rear wheels delivers power where and when it's needed most, granting more traction to the axle with the most grip for a surefooted feeling in almost any condition.*
*When driving during cold, rainy, snowy or icy weather conditions, ensure that your vehicle is equipped with appropriate all-season or winter tires. Even with appropriate tires, you must always drive in a manner appropriate for the weather, visibility and road conditions.
Torque vectoring
Torque vectoring works by braking the inside wheel in corners, proactively transferring torque to the outside wheel—which helps turn the car and improve handling performance.

quattro with ultra
Legendary quattro all-wheel drive with ultra technology proactively switches to all-wheel drive in specific driving circumstances—offering additional grip before it’s needed, and efficiency when it's not.
Under normal driving conditions, the quattro system directs most of its power to the front wheels for improved efficiency. When conditions become demanding, more torque is sent to the rear wheels for traction you can trust.
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.
Under normal driving conditions, e-quattro delivers power to a single axle, helping reduce energy consumption—and boosting your vehicle’s range capabilities as a result.
