What is Nissan Intelligent AWD?

All-wheel drive a decade ago looks a little different from all-wheel drive in 2021. Nissan Altima models are available with Intelligent AWD – an increasingly popular choice with Aitkin drivers because it enhances safety in a wide range of weather conditions without sacrificing efficiency. By continuously monitoring surface conditions, Nissan Intelligent AWD uses sensors to anticipate rapidly changing conditions, and then distributes torque between the front and rear axles as needed.

How Does Nissan Intelligent AWD Work?

If you opt for an all-wheel drive 2021 Nissan Altima, your vehicle will adapt in real time to driving conditions in Bemidji – automatically engaging AWD when conditions call for more traction, and switching to FWD to maximize efficiency when driving conditions are good.

So how does it work? A center differential splits power from the transmission between the front and rear axles, or limits power to the front axle. Meanwhile, wheel sensors scan road conditions to anticipate traction loss.
