Focus on the driver is evident everywhere including the three position switch on the steering wheel that dials the center differential to different torque distribution settings for pavement, gravel and snow.

It has most elaborate form of an all-wheel-drive (AWD) system, which includes Active Center Differential (ACD), Active Yaw Control (AYC) and Active Stability Control (ASC). To this S-AWC adds active suspension, active braking control and active steering to enhance the Evo’s AYC for quicker steering response and faster cornering speeds.
