Automaker Jaecoo has published some details regarding the technology behind the all-wheel-drive system of its J7 SUV (otherwise known as the Chery Explore 06). The vehicle gets a proprietary AWD system called ARDIS for instant terrain response.
The system offers drivers seven modes to switch between and switches from 2WD to 4WD about 50% faster than cars from competing brands. Built-in power brakes let it imitate diff locks and respond to road conditions in one-tenth of a second.
Jaecoo believes that servomotor-assisted brakes perform better than traditional differential locks in many respects. For example, they work well regardless of temperature and altitude fluctuations and remain functional regardless of the acceleration.
As for the drive mode switch mentioned above, it offers four standard and three special modes. In a mode called Off-Road, the system automatically detects surface type and applies the necessary preset.
