AWD on Toyota Matrix 2009?

How can I make sure my Toyota Matrix is AWD?

  • I have a 2006 Toyota Matrix .someone asked me about it being awd I said yes it is and someone else said it is not . prior to this car I have never had a car that was awd and the way this car drives ( and handles snow) Im pretty sure it is. It does not have an AWD symbols on it but its a base model awd . I bought it used 2 years ago. Can someone please tell me a easy way to just look and make sure its all wheel drive...it will just make me feel better

  • Answer:

    call any toyota dealer and they can tell you from the vehicle identification number ( v.i.n. )

if it has an owners manual with it (in the glove compartment maby) look in there and it will tell you. you can tell by looking under the car if it has a center differential it is all wheel drive but it cannot be used for off roading Because all 4 tires in a full time AWD system are connected by a system of differentials, they are potentially very susceptible to torque reduction when a wheel loses traction. Without sophisticated traction control systems, they would become immobilized when any one of the four tires lost traction. A traditional part time 4WD system does not connect the front and rear via a differential, and therefore does not suffer any front/rear torque reduction - if a front tire loses traction, it does not reduce torque delivered to the rear tires, even without traction control systems

check the manual! and yes it is!

Just look underneath it.
