PERFORMANCE TECHNOLOGY
ALL WHEEL DRIVE For performance across an even wider range of conditions, the All Wheel Drive (AWD) system intelligently controls torque distribution between front and rear axle via an electronically controlled multi-plate clutch, which is located in front of the rear differential. Drive torque is distributed across the front and rear axle to fully utilise the available traction from all four tyres. On slippery surfaces, such as grass and snow, torque can be balanced between the front and rear wheels to maximise traction. In extreme conditions where only the front or rear wheels have traction, up to 100 percent of engine torque can be distributed to the opposite axle for optimum grip. The AWD system combines with Electronic Traction Control (ETC) to deliver a sure footed driving experience in even the most challenging situations. ACTIVE DRIVELINE Active Driveline1 technology delivers even greater levels of traction, stability and composure in challenging conditions. While the system is able to fully disconnect drive to the rear wheels in relaxed driving conditions to improve efficiency, Active Driveline can seamlessly reconnect drive to the rear of the car within 300 milliseconds when the requirements for AWD are met. Where driving conditions require it, both rear clutches are fully locked to provide the same effect as a traditional locking rear differential – maximising the car's stability to increase capability. Active Driveline also optimises traction and agility and provides rear-wheel drive handling characteristics by allowing up to 100 percent of rear axle drive torque to be distributed to either rear wheels according to available grip. The hydraulically controlled multi-plate wet clutches, act upon both the rear drive shafts. The clutches are independently controlled and supply optimal torque to each rear wheel based on measuring wheel speeds, throttle position, steering angle and vehicle rotation. So you always feel in control, a dedicated display on the Touchscreen lets you know what's happening.
LOW TRACTION LAUNCH Providing you with optimum torque control when you move off from a standstill, Low Traction Launch enhances capability in slippery conditions like wet grass, snow and ice. The system remains active until the car reaches 30km/h – then E-PACE seamlessly blends back into the selected driver mode. ALL SURFACE PROGRESS CONTROL All Surface Progress Control (ASPC) is a state-of-the-art system that enables you to set and maintain a steady speed in challenging conditions such as slippery surfaces, including: mud, wet grass, ice, snow and dirt roads. Operating like a conventional cruise control system, it functions between 3.6km/h and 30km/h, enabling you to maintain full concentration on the road ahead.
