All Mazda crossover SUVs, including CX-5, feature i-Activ All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) as standard. i-Activ AWD® provides functionality beyond that of a typical 4WD or AWD system. Unlike basic AWD systems that react to a spinning wheel, i-Activ AWD® is always engaged and proactively monitors vehicle dynamics data in real time to watch for variations in wheel loads that a driver may not notice. The system then automatically controls the distribution of torque to provide predictable handling when driving on unpaved roads or in difficult conditions.23
