The fourth mode, Smart, selects a drive mode for you based on your current driving style.

Experience superior handling & control for a new level of driving confidence. HTRAC™ actively adjusts the driving power distribution to all 4 wheels to achieve optimal balance on every kind of road condition.

Unlike traditional mechanical on demand all-wheel-drive systems already introduced, HTRAC™ variably controls the braking and power to the wheels. In combination with the drive modes, HTRAC™ improves acceleration, stability and fuel efficiency. The system increases traction on snow, gravel and, of course, on regular road surfaces while enhancing cornering performance. 

On Elite & Limited models steering wheel mounted paddle shifters enable fingertip up and down shifting for even greater control and a sportier driving feel.
