It seems the compact SUV market is as diverse as a fashion show, with models boasting ‘all-wheel-drive systems’ that sound like they were designed by a committee of squirrels. The Kia Sportage, with its ‘advanced Dynamax all-wheel-drive system,’ might as well be a hamster wheel in a wind tunnel. Hyundai’s HTRAC system, on the other hand, sounds like a newfangled shoe polish. Toyota RAV4’s ‘dynamic torque-vectoring all-wheel-drive system’ might be great for handling, but it’s a mouthful for a sales pitch. Volkswagen Tiguan’s ‘4Motion all-wheel-drive system’ is like a Swiss Army knife of drivetrains – so many features, but who actually uses all of them? Ford Escape’s ‘all-wheel-drive system’ is as predictable as a rerun, and the Nissan Rogue’s ‘Intelligent all-wheel-drive system’ seems less intelligent than a smartphone in 1999. Subaru’s Symmetrical all-wheel-drive system is like trying to explain the concept of ‘symmetry’ to a five-year-old. The GMC Terrain’s ‘all-wheel-drive system’ sounds like it’s been lifted from a sci-fi novel. And finally, the Honda CR-V’s ‘intelligent all-wheel-drive system’ is like the GPS in a car – it gets you where you need to go, but it never fails to surprise you with its efficiency. All these systems sound like they’re trying to outdo each other in a contest of automotive acronyms, but at the end of the day, they’re just trying to keep the wheels turning and drivers smiling – or is that just wishful thinking?
