HTRAC All-Wheel Drive with multi-terrain control modes

For the ultimate in handling, performance and traction, enjoy our HTRACTM All-Wheel Drive system. It allows you to select the appropriate traction setting that best suits your current driving conditions with three dedicated terrain modes. Choose from Snow, Mud or Sand.

SNOW mode

SNOW mode

Optimized for snow-covered and slippery roads. This mode will distribute the driving force of the vehicle based on road conditions to help suppress wheel slippage.

MUD mode

MUD mode

Optimized for muddy, rutted or uneven terrain. In Mud mode, sensors can instantly detect wheel slippage and automatically redirect torque to the wheel with the most traction, so that you can keep moving despite the hazardous driving conditions.

SAND mode

SAND mode

Optimized for loose sand or deep gravel. Special algorithms developed for sand driving secure the right gear and help ensure each wheel receives the right amount of torque at the right moment to deliver optimal tire traction.

Versatility and advanced technology inside and out.

The interior of the Santa Cruz is sophisticated and refined featuring an edgeless infotainment screen appearance with an available 10.25” touchscreen and available 10.25” full digital LCD cluster.
