Intelligent Variable Torque Management™ (i-VTM4®) All-Wheel-Drive System

The Feature:
Drivers of AWD Pilot models are the beneficiaries of a highly innovative all-wheel-drive system, which allows variable front-to-rear distribution of engine torque to direct power to those wheels with traction. 

• This design offers a highly sophisticated level of performance, thanks to a pair of electro-hydraulically actuated clutch packs, one to drive each rear wheel.
• The clutches can be engaged separately, allowing variable amounts of torque to be sent to each rear wheel independently.
• The system can therefore respond much more precisely to traction needs at the rear wheels to enhance stability and propulsion in low-friction conditions such as ice and snow.
• To enhance its capability in highly challenging off-pavement conditions, the system on the Pilot TrailSport trim is tuned to send even greater amounts of torque to the rear differential to help overcome obstacles and steep uphills.
• The system can even enhance dry-weather handling performance by sending additional torque to the outside rear wheel when turning, helping the Pilot carve through corners with a much more natural, confidence-inspiring feeling.
• It utilizes a single housing at the rear axle, featuring a lightweight, cast-alloy casing.
