2014 SUZUKI SX4

This is the Allgrip model which has a four mode 4wd system offering Auto, Sport, Snow and Lock. AUTO mode - the car prioritises fuel economy in typical driving conditions. It uses 2wd by default and will switch to 4wd if wheel spin is detected. SPORT mode is meant for twisty roads. The system makes maximum use of 4wd in response to accelerator inputs. At low and mid-range engine speeds, the system alters the accelerator/torque characteristics to optimise engine response and cornering performance. When selected the engine speed is increase by 500rpm and the ALLGRIP system will automatically divert 20 per cent more torque to the rear wheels. SNOW mode is, well, for snowy, unpaved and other slippery surfaces. The system uses 4wd by default. LOCK mode is designed for extricating the car from snow, mud or sand. The system distributes high torque to the rear wheels continually.
