Toyota All-Wheel Drive Systems

Quincy shoppers will have access to four types of AWD systems on Toyota AWD vehicles: 

• Dynamic Torque-Control for sedans and smaller SUVs
• Dynamic Torque Vectoring AWD with Driveline Disconnect for larger SUVs and trucks
• Electronic On-Demand AWD for hybrid vehicles
• AWDe for smaller hybrid vehicles

Each Toyota AWD system uses advanced computers and sensors to monitor road conditions in real-time and apply extra traction when necessary. Find out how each system works below: 

Dynamic Torque-Control AWD

• This AWD system utilizes electromagnetic coupling ahead of the rear differential to activate and deactivate the AWD system. 
• When the computer and sensors detect that a tire is slipping or spinning, it appropriately applies the brakes to the slipping tire.. 
• This system does not adjust the power going to each wheel. 
• The driveshaft that powers the AWD is always turning on this system – even if the electromagnetic coupler is disengaged. 
• Adds some additional drag to the vehicle, but it only sacrifices 3 or 4 MPG.
• This system can be found on: The Toyota Avalon XLE, Avalon XLE Limited; Toyota Camry LE, Camry SE, Camry XLE, and Camry XSE;Toyota RAV4 LE, RAV4 XLE, and RAV4 XLE Premium.

Dynamic Torque Vectoring AWD with Driveline Disconnect: 

• This AWD system takes advantage of multiple dog-clutch gears to engage the AWD system behind the transmission, ahead of the rear differential, and each rear tire. 
• The dog clutches allow the AWD system to distribute engine power to each wheel, as opposed to using selective braking like the Dynamic Torque-Control AWD system. 
• The system is designed to sense a slipping wheel and disengage the dog-clutch to that wheel. It then applies the extra power to the other non-slipping wheels to preserve forward momentum. 
• The unique design of the dog-clutch allows more torque to be distributed to each tire, which allows for more power than the previous Dynamic Torque Vectoring AWD system can provide.
• The dog clutches also allow the driveshaft to disengage completely when AWD is not running. This basically means that the driveshaft won’t continuously turn. 
• This system can be found on: The Toyota RAV4 TRD Off-Road, RAV4 Adventure, and RAV4 Limited;Toyota Highlander Limited, and Highlander Platinum.

Electronic On-Demand AWD:. 

• This system gets rid of driveshafts completely, and replaces them with electric-motor generators for the rear tires.
• There is no mechanical connection between the front and rear wheels.
• When additional traction isn’t required, the rear wheel motors are turned off. 
• When the system senses additional traction is needed, the rear tire motors are switched on and distribute the necessary power to each tire.
• This system can be found on: The Toyota RAV4 Hybrid and Highlander Hybrid.

AWDe:

• AWDe is designed to minimize weight and drag and maximize fuel efficiency and is therefore found on smaller hybrid Toyota AWD cars.
• The AWDe system works the same as the Electronic On-Demand AWD system with some exceptions. 
• The rear motors are induction motors, and only are available at speeds below 43 mph. This protects the AWD motors from burning out. 
• The AWDe system is also engaged up to 6 mph while the vehicle is accelerating. This is due to the fact that electric motors operate more efficiently than gasoline-powered engines at low speeds, helping to reduce fuel consumption and carbon emissions.
• If the system senses that traction is needed above 6 mph, it will stay engaged up until 43 mph. The AWD system will disengage if no traction is needed. 
• This system can be found on: The Toyota Prius.
