What Is the Mazda i-ACTIV AWD®?
“AWD? Isn’t that just for snow?”
Not quite.
Mazda’s i-ACTIV AWD® isn’t some old-school, clunky 4WD system. It’s like the brainy co-pilot you didn’t know you needed. Constantly scanning road conditions—over 200 times per second, actually—it tweaks the power between your front and rear wheels to give you grip before you even know you need it.
Rain? No biggie. Gravel road on the way to your cousin’s place in the mountains? Bring it on.
