When it comes to tackling diverse road conditions with confidence, Mazda's i-ACTIV AWD® system stands out as one of the most intelligent all-wheel drive technologies available today. At Ed Howard Mazda in Sarasota, we're proud to offer vehicles equipped with this innovative system that keeps you in control no matter the weather or terrain.
What Is Mazda i-ACTIV AWD®?
Mazda i-ACTIV AWD® is a predictive full-time all-wheel drive system designed to anticipate changing road conditions before they become problematic. Unlike conventional AWD systems that simply react after wheel slip occurs, i-ACTIV AWD® takes a proactive approach to traction management. The system continuously monitors driving conditions and seamlessly adjusts power distribution between the front and rear wheels to optimize grip and stability. Drivers in Lakewood Ranch appreciate this intelligent technology during Florida's sudden rain showers.
How Does i-ACTIV AWD® Work?
The brilliance of i-ACTIV AWD® lies in its extensive sensor network. The system uses multiple sensors throughout the vehicle to read road conditions approximately 200 times per second. These sensors monitor factors including outside temperature, wiper activation, steering input, throttle position, and wheel speed. By analyzing this data in real time, the system predicts when traction may be compromised and adjusts torque distribution accordingly. Bradenton drivers benefit from this seamless operation that requires no driver input.
Which Models Offer i-ACTIV AWD®?
Mazda offers i-ACTIV AWD® across its SUV lineup, allowing you to enjoy enhanced capability on the roads of Venice, FL, and beyond. As you explore our inventory, you'll find popular options equipped with i-ACTIV AWD®, including the Mazda CX-50, Mazda CX-70, and Mazda CX-90.
