- The Dual-Motor comes with four drive modes: All-Purpose, Snow, Tow, and All-Terrain.
- The Performance Dual-Motor comes with an added "Sport" Mode.
- The Quad-Motor has ten drive modes: All-Purpose, Snow, Tow, All-Terrain, Sport, Conserve, Rock Crawl, Rally, Drift, and Soft Sand.
- The dual motor has four suspension heights, whereas both the Performance Dual-Motor and Quad-Motor offer five available height settings.
- There are visual differences between the Dual-Motor and Quad-Motor in terms of badge color and brake calipers.
- For aggressive driving on curvy roads, the Dual-Motor is not the best option, due to a different driving dynamic from the four-motor version.
