    Glos Guy,

    A couple of questions from a veteran friend who works down at the garrison who is thinking of ordering one, but can’t seem to get a straight answer – from either the Hyundai website or main dealer!

    Is the 4WD system controlled by the driver (i.e. has an on/off  button somewhere) or is it a fully automatic system only controlled by the vehicle?

    I take it there is no option to lock the diff(s) either centre or side/wheel control?

    Does the 4WD (if auto controlled) in effect cut out above circa 20mph or so on straight roads (or even cornering)?

    Does the vehicle come as standard with tyres to enhance the traction of the 4WD system or just standard summer road tyres – i.e. more for economy than traction?

    Thanks

    P.S. – He has had a drive in my Ineos Grenadier and I think he is hoping for something like the 4WD control and capability that I have. However, I think he may be somewhat disappointed, but I did say I would ask!
