Through a multi-plate clutch, the coupling system is fully controllable via an electro-hydraulic actuation system. This Dynamax system behavior is completely transparent to the driver. Kia says that it also results in improved lateral stability while cornering, removal of unintended over and under steer by reducing unwanted traction and also lower fuel consumption and reduced CO2 emissions.
