You don't want it to be too fancy though. On that score, Mercedes does OK because even non-car-people can figure out that 4MATIC means AWD/4WD. Similarly, Acura's SH-AWD is unpackable, and the "Super Handling" part describes more or less what it does for you. But "X-Drive" sounds like something that's going to go wrong on Star Trek: The Next Generation and strand Picard with the Klingons.

Nice picture. And I don't know a more elegant way to say "AWD". Mercedes and BMW use the same nomenclature (4MATIC and X-Drive) all the way up and down the line.
I don't know, 4MATIC sounds pretty silly to me but its important to chose a name and commit to it or don't change the name at all if you can't take it all the way home. X-drive sounds much cooler.

Well, that's the thing....4Matic, Xdrive, Quattro....yeah, it may come off as gimmicky but it does a good job of highlighting an option or a feature that a customer may not be aware of.

AWD stands for " ALL WEATHER DRIVE " This is known for the Full-time all wheel drive in sedans such as IS , GS , RC and LS :





But AWD in the NX and RX stands for ALL WHEEL DRIVE which is Part-time all wheel drive .

IMO that makes no sense, the SUVs/CUVs should be all-time AWD, and the sedans should be able to switch between RWD and AWD.
