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. And expanded AWD capabilities are on the way with the upcoming TrailSport editions.
All-wheel drive helps you power through challenging conditions by using an array of sensors and other inputs.
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.

The i-VTM4® system helps enhance stability on muddy, wet and icy roads, and can even improve dry-weather handling. It uses a pair of clutch packs—one for each rear wheel—that can be engaged separately, allowing variable amounts of torque to be sent to each rear wheel independently. If one rear wheel loses traction, the other helps compensate. The system also distributes torque to the outside rear wheel when turning, to help the Passport, Pilot and Ridgeline smoothly carve through corners.
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. The Ridgeline, with all-wheel drive standard, gets all three. Each mode adjusts throttle, shifting, torque distribution and Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®) for the unique challenges of the terrain.
