What Ford models have AWD for 2018?
Though all Ford trucks obviously have four-wheel drive options, what about Ford’s many other models? What Ford models have AWD for 2018? We will dive deep into the Ford catalog so that you can learn which car and SUV models have AWD available.
Does Ford make any cars with AWD?
If you asked us just a few short years ago, this would be a very short list, but not anymore. Let’s start on the small side. Are you looking for a compact hatchback with plenty of performance and AWD? It sounds impossible, but the Ford Focus RS has exactly what you are looking for.

What about a sedan? Ford has you covered there too. The Ford Fusion comes with AWD standard on the Sport trim, and it’s available on every other trim except the base model S. If you want to go even larger, then the Taurus will provide. The Limited and SEL trims both have AWD as an option, and the powerful SHO model comes with AWD standard.
Do all Ford SUVs have an AWD option?
Sure enough, you can find AWD options on every Ford SUV for 2018. In fact, the Escape and the Flex are the only SUV models that don’t offer AWD on every trim, but the Escape does offer it on every trim above its base model S and the Flex offers it on every trim above its base model SE.
Higher Ford SUV models even give you AWD standard on the higher trims. For example, the Edge Sport, the Explorer Sport and the Explorer Platinum all come with AWD as a standard feature. When you buy from Ford, you aren’t just getting AWD, but Intelligent AWD.

What are the advantages of Intelligent AWD?
It used to be that having AWD simply meant that you had power going to all four wheels typically with a bias towards either the front or the rear, but that’s not enough for Ford. With Ford Intelligent AWD and Intelligent 4WD, your Ford is smart about where it puts its power. If your back tires are losing grip in a puddle or on ice, it transfers power to the front to keep you going and to keep your tires from slipping.
