2024 Hyundai Â A smooth driving experience has become synonymous with Hyundai models, mainly thanks to its HTRAC system. While driving your vehicle, Hyundai's HTRAC AWD technology monitors and reroutes power between the front and rear axles, ensuring the car keeps good traction.

Of course, there's much more to this, which we cover below. Stay tuned!

What is Hyundai HTRAC AWD?

Hyundai HTRAC AWD technology is a way to calculate the amount of torque your car has on each wheel and can reroute power depending on the road you drive on. This multi-mode system focuses on smooth driving conditions, optimal weight balance between your car's axles, and overall dynamics.

HTRAC AWD essentially takes the bumpiness out of your driving and protects the foundation of your car from unnecessary jolting. It's also one of the lightest all-wheel-drive systems available, weighing just 165 lbs. Hyundai has perfected it over the years, and drivers can't get enough of it.

How Does Hyundai HTRAC AWD Work?

By monitoring 50 vehicle inputs over 100 times per second, Hyundai's HTRAC all-wheel-drive function applies subtle braking pressure to your car's wheels, calculating torque between the front and rear axles. This feature improves traction, mainly when your Hyundai model detects slippage on the road.

Typically, vehicles without Hyundai HTRAC AWD would encounter uneven driving and gliding during inclement weather, but thanks to this tech, you don't have to worry about it. The power between axles on a car must be perfectly balanced, which this system works to stabilize.
