AWD

[ANDREW WARD]

Good evening.

How can I tell if my 2019 NX300H Takumi is AWD or only 2WD?

If you're in the UK, all 2019 models had AWD ("The other important revision for 2019 is that all models in the range now feature all-wheel drive, using our compact and efficient E-Four system.") but you can also tell if you look at the energy distribution screen in the infotainment system. If it shows sending power to the rear wheels then you have AWD.

Thanks Steve

I thought... the VIN number tells you as well?

and then in 2020 they brought back the FWD variant. However, FWD was only ever for the base grade, the Takumi (or previous Premier) was only AWD.

 

As you say, look at the energy screen. Or under the rear of the vehicle for something that looks like a differential and driveshafts, or the VIN plate (and V5 logbook) will show the model number -  AYZ10R..... for FWD and AYZ15R..... for AWD).
