Get enhanced traction when you need it most. Whether the road is filled with gravel, covered with ice or soaked by rain, optional Intelligent All-Wheel Drive (AWD) helps provide more sure-footed traction. AWD is fully automatic, which means it instantly delivers traction to the wheels needing it the most when wheelslip is detected.

Sable also features standard Traction Control, which improves vehicle traction and steering control without sacrificing dry-pavement performance. It allows progressive braking to be applied at each wheel to transfer torque from slipping wheels to the wheels that have traction.
