4WD: 4WD stands for Four Wheel Drive and drives all the wheels to maximize the vehicle's driving 

force on the unpaved road, rough road, steep hills, sandy or muddy road for enhanced driving 

performance. 

Electric AWD (All Wheel Drive): 4-wheel drive is an electric drive system in which the vehicle is 

usually driving in 2WD mode but, if the vehicle determines that 4WD is needed because of the 

differences in slip and cornering between front and rear wheels, road gradient and etc., it is switched 

to 4WD automatically by the E-coupling control unit.
