Performance and Luxury Perfected in Alfa Romeo Vehicles

Did you know that Alfa Romeo is celebrating over 75 years of all-wheel drive (AWD) in its cars? The key principle of the Q4 AWD system is maintaining maximum sportiness and the best possible traction, even in the most demanding grip conditions. It also preserves the dynamic precision that represents the essence of Alfa Romeo.

Learn More About the Q4 AWD System

In normal conditions, the Q4 AWD system favors rear-wheel drive, preserving balance and performance. However, when conditions require, torque is transferred to the front axle, ensuring superior traction, stability, and control.

Its key characteristics include:

  • Rear-biased feel: Keeps the car dynamic and agile in normal driving.

  • On-demand AWD: Front wheels engage only when necessary (snow, rain, hard acceleration).

  • Efficiency-minded: Disconnects the front axle when not needed to save fuel.

  • Integrated with driving modes: Works with Alfa Romeo’s DNA drive selector (Dynamic, Natural, Advanced Efficiency).
