It includes the powerful 2.5L Turbocharged engine and an eight-speed automatic transmission. Buyers can choose between standard front-wheel drive or an available all-wheel drive system for added confidence on wet roads.

The AT4 is built for rugged terrain and off-road capability. It upgrades the drivetrain to an exclusive Active Torque Control All-Wheel Drive system designed to route power to the wheels with the most traction.
