SYMMETRICAL ALL-WHEEL DRIVE
Continuous All-Wheel Drive
Models equipped with 5-speed manual transmission utilize a viscous-type locking center differential with torque distribution configured at a 50/50-split
front-to-rear. WRX models also feature a viscous-type limited-slip rear differential.
Active All-Wheel Drive
Models equipped with 4-speed automatic transmission utilize an electronically controlled variable transfer clutch to distribute power to where traction is needed.
Sensors monitor parameters such as wheel slippage, throttle position and braking to help determine torque distribution to the wheels with optimum traction.
Variable Torque Distribution (VTD)
WRX models equipped with 4-speed automatic transmission utilize an electronically controlled variable transfer clutch in conjunction with a planetary-type
All-Wheel Drive
center differential. Rear wheel-biased torque distribution normally configured at 45/55-split front-to-rear. VTD also features a viscous-type limited-slip
rear differential.
Driver Controlled Center Differential
Exclusive to the WRX STi, Driver Controlled Center Differential (DCCD) All-Wheel Drive, featuring both manual and automatic modes, uses an electronically
(DCCD) All-Wheel Drive
managed multi-plate transfer clutch in conjunction with a planetary gear-type center differential to control power distribution between the front and rear
wheels. Normally, DCCD splits power 35% front and 65% rear. DCCD also features a helical-type limited-slip front differential and mechanical limited-slip
rear differential.
