Nissan’s innovative 4WD system
Nissan’s new electric-drive four-wheel-control system improves passenger comfort by minimizing cabin motion and providing a smooth ride. e-4ORCE is so effective that X-Trail and Ariya SUVs equipped with it may be the most pet-friendly vehicles yet.
By controlling the power delivery and braking to each wheel, e-4ORCE can manage the forces working on the car to minimize pitch and dive when accelerating and braking. Less vehicle movement means a reduction in the body motion that can cause carsickness for both two- and four-legged passengers.
Nissan took Hop, a border collie, and Lulu, a beagle, for drives in an e-4ORCE-equipped Ariya and X-Trail during the filming of a fun video that highlights the benefits of Nissan’s motion-defying technology. Depicted at first as being reluctant to go for a drive, Hop and Lulu are seen as happy campers at the end thanks to e-4ORCE’s smooth ride.
Ryozo Hiraku, expert leader of Nissan’s powertrain and EV engineering division, says “When people hear “four-wheel drive,” special situations like off-road or in snowy conditions usually come to mind. But e-4ORCE is much more than that. It takes the daily driving experience to a new level. During testing more than 100 employees tried e-4ORCE and all noted they could feel the difference in ride quality.
