What Is Hyundai TRACtion All-Wheel Drive?

Hyundai TRACtion all-wheel drive (HTRAC AWD) is Hyundai’s specialized AWD system that puts in extra work so you can rest assured you won’t lose control, no matter the terrain or weather. The system works by monitoring the vehicle’s various inputs more than 100 times each second, which allows it to determine how much torque each wheel needs to remain firmly on the road. When the system notices a wheel slipping or sees that it has the potential to slip, it routes the power between the axles. It then applies the brake for you, giving you added traction.

This can be ideal if you live in a climate that experiences high amounts of rain or wind or if you often go out during the nighttime. If you’re in an area that experiences heavy snowfall, you can also benefit from this updated AWD system, as more control can help prevent you from skidding on ice or slippery roads. HTRAC AWD can also be beneficial for off-roading, as it will keep your vehicle steady, regardless of what’s under your wheels.

2024 Hyundai KONA

The first 2024 Hyundai available with AWD is the KONA. While this isn’t standard on this model, all trims for this vehicle give you the option to upgrade to HTRAC AWD. This is just one of many updates that this model receives in its 2024 redesign. For example, the 2024 KONA offers four engine choices for you to choose from: two with gas-powered engines and two with electric motors. With the base trim starting with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder Atkinson engine that can achieve 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque, the KONA is sure to give you all the power you need.

The 2024 KONA also comes with an array of exciting interior features and updates, including increased leg room in the second row and, on the electric models, a flat floor. There’s a 12.3-inch digital display on the dashboard, making it simple to use navigation, look up information, and play music, all with the touch of a finger. Safety features are also key in the KONA, with driver-assist technology such as forward collision warning, lane-keeping assist, and automated emergency brakes. You can also opt for additional safety features such as a surround-view camera system and blind-spot monitoring.

2024 Hyundai SANTA CRUZ

The 2024 Hyundai SANTA CRUZ also offers HTRAC AWD. This incredible feature is available as an additional upgrade for the SE and SEL trims, and it comes standard on the three higher trims: the Night, XRT, and Limited. The first two trims have a 2.5-liter gasoline direct injection-multipoint injection (GDI-MPI) four-cylinder engine that achieves 191 horsepower. When choosing a more luxurious trim, you’ll get a 2.5-liter turbocharged GDI-MPI four-cylinder engine that can reach 281 horsepower. This vehicle also achieves great fuel economy, starting at 23 mpg combined, with 22 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway.

You’ll notice the striking upgrades to the 2024 SANTA CRUZ immediately when looking at the exterior, which uses a dark trim and dark chrome grille to achieve a sporty, impactful look. There’s also a new bed design that includes underfloor storage, making it easy to bring all your cargo with you. In terms of tech, there’s the Hyundai Digital Key, which allows you to open your car from your mobile device. You can also enjoy wireless charging and dynamic voice recognition, which you can use to surf the internet, change your music, or set navigation points, all hands-free.

Like other Hyundai models, the SANTE CRUZ comes with Hyundai SmartSense, which is specially designed to protect you and your passengers while driving. This suite includes features such as rear cross-traffic collision avoidance assist, highway driving assist, and smart cruise control with Stop & Go.

2024 Hyundai TUCSON

The final 2024 Hyundai vehicle that offers all-wheel drive is the TUCSON. You’ll have the option to add HTRAC AWD to the first four trim levels of this model, which are the SE, SEL, XRT, and Limited. If you opt for a higher-tier trim, you’ll get HTRAC AWD included. The higher trims for the 2024 TUCSON are the Blue hybrid, SEL Convenience hybrid, Limited hybrid, and SEL plug-in hybrid. All these trims offer a variety of perks, such as an 8-inch color touch-screen display audio system, Bluelink+, and Bose Premium Audio.

The first three trims of the 2024 Tucson come with a 2.5-liter GDI-MPI four-cylinder engine that achieves 187 horsepower. On the higher trims, this upgrades to a 1.6-liter turbocharged GDI four-cylinder hybrid engine, which uses dual electric motors in addition to the engine for added environmental sustainability.

Hyundai SmartSense is also standard on all 2024 TUCSON trims, meaning you can rest easy knowing you’ll be kept extra safe for your whole drive, every time. With perks such as navigation-based smart cruise control with Stop & Go and curve control, driver attention warning, and lane-keeping assist, you can relax wherever you’re going. On the Limited trim and above, you’ll also get a surround-view monitor system that lets you see everything around you using cameras on your vehicle’s sides, front, and rear. This can be especially helpful when parking or driving through busy areas.
