More about the 2021 Nissan Altima Intelligent All-wheel Drive 

The 2021 Nissan Altima Intelligent All-wheel Drive gives this sedan the type of capability you would expect from an SUV. The way this system works is by continuously monitoring the road conditions so it can adjust faster. To help enhance fuel economy, the Intelligent All-wheel Drive system will only power the front wheels in normal driving conditions. The all-wheel-drive will start to kick in once the conditions change to optimize traction and responsiveness.
