Electronic Diff Lock

Hi, I'm looking at the MG EV. Coming from a Suzuki S-Cross Allgrip, and living in a rural location, moving back to 2 wheel drive is one significant downside.

I wondered if the MG has any form of cross-axle traction transfer capabilities?

Many vehicles will apply the brake to the slipping wheel so transferring drive to the wheel with traction (VW market this as EDL or XDL for example, and all Suzuki models have the same functionality, even those without 4x4).

Hi, I haven't read anything like that on this forum, so you maybe looking at the wrong type of vehicle

Turns out it's written in the manual:

"TCS monitors the driving speed of each wheel individually. If spin is detected on one wheel, the system automatically brakes that wheel, transferring torque to the opposite, non-spinning wheel."

It also apparently has hill decent control although it needs to be manually enabled for some reason.

That's not unusual, is it? My van has it and it has to be turned on, had a previous Kia that was the same.
