It’s that time of year when the daily routine in Indianapolis will likely be hampered by winter weather. Required is a vehicle that’s equipped with all-wheel drive (AWD) for safety in handling and traction.

Luckily, at Indy Honda there’s a bounty of new Honda models that come fitted with AWD as standard or optional. Either way, there’s choice to execute amongst capable new Honda models built for purposes of utility.

Proprietary Honda All-Wheel Drive Systems

To a new Honda model offering AWD, there are two systems designed by Honda engineers with full knowledge of model capacities.

So, whether you’re in the Indianapolis market for a compact crossover, midsize SUV or more expansive truck, each Honda model segment lends a specialized all-wheel drive system to better surmount winter weather.

Real Time AWD with Intelligent Control System™

With sensors placed on the rear axle, any slippage or loss of traction here will be detected. Then, power is immediately diverted to affected wheel wells for a constant sense of handling realized. This Honda-minted all-wheel drive system is primarily featured with the brand’s midsize models, as with the following now available to Indianapolis shoppers:

    • 2024 Honda HR-V delivers an adventurous spirit with Real Time AWD intact.
    • 2023 Honda CR-V lends refinement to capability for a compact crossover.
    • 2023 Honda CR-V Hybrid is your sustainable choice with an elevated posture featured.

Intelligent Variable Torque Management™ (i-VTM4) AWD System

The Intelligent Variable Torque Management AWD system provides a more dynamic approach to challenging conditions during winter in Indianapolis. With sensing the degree of torque needed of each axle, power is sent efficiently. The same is true of wheels that may be slipping when piloting the following models:

    • 2023 Honda Pilot employs i-VTM4 all-wheel drive in combination with sporty elements.
    • 2023 Honda Passport speaks to adventure sought past the confines of Indianapolis.
    • 2023 Honda Ridgeline is a versatile truck that bears the hallmark of Honda-minted ruggedness.
