The press service of Nissan describes a system as "revolutionary all-wheel drive technology" which will help drivers with different skills of driving by instant draft and will provide the balanced and predictable power in any situations, for example, when it is necessary to avoid sharply collision or when the roadbed does not provide sufficient coupling with wheels.

In a standard mode of driving the draft is distributed between motors equally — 50/50. However in case of need, for example, when the roadbed is covered with snow or dirt, it can be completely postponed for a front or back axis.

The task consisted in  providing impressive dynamics  and also to achieve high riding comfort for  all passengers, irrespective of  conditions and  style of driving, says Nissan.

Before the company used only the front drive on cars with electric motors. Tests of an all-wheel drive system for electric cars is an important step on the way to entry into the market of electrocrossovers: by June 10, 2020 Nissan is going to provide global model on the basis of Ariya concept. This "SUV" is expected also in the Russian market.^[1]
