Honda All-Wheel Drive Guide

Honda all-wheel-drive systems are designed to effortlessly tackle bad weather, rough terrain and big jobs, channeling available power where and when you need it most. All-wheel drive helps you power through challenging conditions by using an array of sensors and other inputs. When equipped with all-wheel drive, they are capable of better handling on low-friction surfaces such as mud, sand and ice.

Select Honda models are available with the TrailSport trim that enhance your vehicle for the off-road adventures you want to take. Tough terrain? Easy. Wintry weather? No sweat. Honda TrailSport edition vehicles can help you take on bigger off-road adventures.

Honda offers two different all-wheel-drive systems: Real Time AWD™ and intelligent Variable Torque Management™ (i-VTM4®). Both can deliver instantaneous power to the rear wheels to enhance overall stability, and the i-VTM4 system adds torque vectoring for greater side-to-side control.

Let's learn about the key features that give Honda's lineup of vehicles the ability to conquer all kinds of terrain, inclement weather and road conditions, and towing capability.

Intelligent All-Wheel Drive Systems

All-wheel-drive systems are designed to effortlessly tackle bad weather, rough terrain and big jobs, channeling available power where and when you need it most. TrailSport offers enhanced all-terrain capabilities, off-road-tuned suspension, greater ground clearance, underbody protection and more.

Intelligent Traction Management

When road conditions change, just push the Intelligent Traction Management button to optimize for the terrain. Two-wheel drive trims on the Passport and Pilot include Snow mode, while all-wheel-drive trims add Mud and Sand modes. This versatility at the press of a button means that Honda TrailSport edition vehicles can tackle all forms of terrain comfortably and safely.

Built To Last

From cold starts tested in -40-degree cold cells in the frozen prairies of Northern Minnesota to the sun-scorched terrains of the Mojave Desert, Honda TrailSport edition vehicles are put through rigorous testing under the elements to ensure that any off-road jouney you take under any weather, your Honda vehicle is ready to go.

Towing Prowess

Thanks to the available i-VTM4® AWD systems, the TrailSport editions of the Honda Passport and Honda Pilot are capable of towing up to 5,000 pounds, enough muscle to pull a 24-foot camper, a trailer with two side-by-sides, or a 22-foot boat.
