As you can see, the majority of the new Mazda model lineup is dominated by Mazda AWD cars, so whether you want a sedan, a hatchback, or an SUV, you can feel comfortable in any conditions on Schaumburg and Palatine roads, whatever the weather.
The i-ACTIV AWD® system is an intelligent all-wheel drive system built by Mazda. When you’re using your Mazda AWD sedans, SUVs, or cars during inclement weather or through challenging roads, the system uses sensors to track road conditions. It then will interpret the information it acquires, and adjust the torque settings, sending power to specific axles in order to improve road-holding capabilities and traction. Mazda AWD cars with this system have an advanced active torque split AWD system. The i-ACTIV AWD® system is paired with Front-Wheel Slip-Warning Detection System, which also uses sensors that monitor wheel slips, and move the torque to the rear wheels as required, all of which help you maintain or recover control of your vehicle on Bartlett roads.
