If you know the weather around here in Southeast Texas, you know it can change in the blink of an eye. Thunderstorms, humidity, blazing heat under the sun, even ice during the winter. You may never know what you can get when you’re out on the roads in Kingwood, Humble, Atascocita, New Caney, Spring, The Woodlands, and the greater Houston area.  

What you need is a vehicle that inspires confidence. You need a Volkswagen with the 4MOTION all-wheel drive system.  

These days, all-wheel drive systems are more common on new cars and trucks than ever before. As you might expect, these drivelines have inherent qualities that help provide additional grip and traction year-round. The 4MOTION system is one of the best in dealing with less-than-ideal road conditions that regard.  

How does the 4MOTION system work? It provides torque to a wheel that is losing contact with the road, by using a control unit in the driveline to redirect power on demand when needed. When road conditions are normal, 90 percent of the power goes to the primary power source – that also means the rear motor unit on the ID.4 and ID.Buzz, the front engine on all other models. When surfaces become wet, icy, or snowy, the system flips to distribute torque in half to ensure that all four wheels can gain grip and traction.  

This system can also help when merging onto the highway, driving through construction zones, and also managing uneven pavement. On dirt and gravel roads, 4MOTION comes into play to ensure that you stay on the surface no matter where you go. Whether it is heading to NRG Stadium for a game or out to the lake for a day out, you will find that 4MOTION works in every situation.  

One thing to consider is that 4MOTION only works to aid your forward momentum. All-wheel drive does not replace careful driving, properly inflated tires (or even the correct kind of tires), or making decisions when the weather changes. It is made to ensure confidence whenever you traverse the Houston area and beyond.  

Do you really need the 4MOTION system here in Kingwood? Some consumers may not see the need to have it in their next Volkswagen. However, if you drive every day through every kind of weather and condition, you definitely want to consider selecting a Volkswagen with 4MOTION.  

The 4MOTION system is found across the Volkswagen lineup, and offers versatility that SUV drivers want in their Taos, Tiguan, Atlas Cross Sport, and Atlas. For performance traction and control, it underpins the Golf R. In the ID.4 and ID.Buzz, it offers more performance from two electric motors, mounted at each axle.
