Torsen center differential
- Alfa Romeos: 156 Crosswagon, 159, Brera, Spider Q4 (Torsen T-3)

The above systems function by selectively using the traction control system (via ABS) to brake a slipping wheel.
Multiple-clutch systems
Clutch pack coupling
- Audi A3 quattro, Audi TT quattro (with Haldex Traction)
- BMW: 3series, 5series, X3, X5 (the initial X5's had a 38/62 planetary center differential)

- Jeep: Grand Cherokee and SRT8 NVG 249, 247
- Land Rover: LR2 (also Haldex Traction)<sup id="cite_ref-16" class="reference">[17]</sup>

- Pontiac Torrent (GMPCA)
- Subaru low powered automatic transmission models
- Subaru Legacy, Outback, Impreza, Forester, Tribeca automatic transmission models: mechanical front drive, clutch coupled rear axle.
- Suzuki: SX4, XL7, Aerio
- Toyota RAV4 (latest model, not older generations)
- Volvo: S40, S60, S80, V50, V70, XC70, XC90 (all Haldex Traction-based)
Note the above all function like 2WD when clutch pack not engaged, and like 4WD highrange in a part time 4WD system when the clutch is engaged (usually by computer although some allow manual control). Some in this category have varying degrees of control in the torque distribution between front and rear via allowing some of the clutches in a clutch pack to engage and slip varying amounts. An example of a system like this is the BorgWarner i-Trac(TM) system. Note: the Haldex Traction based car list was created from the list on Haldex Traction corporate web site: | Haldex Cars. Interestingly, a version of the BorgWarner ITM3e system is used on 2006 and up Porsche 911TT's. These Borg Warner systems were the forerunner of the popular Volkswagen Group Direct-Shift Gearbox (DSG) gearbox.
Off-road drive
These are vehicles with no center differential, also known as selectable 4WD. Off-road drive systems may not be driven in 4WD mode on dry pavement, as damage to the transfer case will occur.
