This is how I translate it whenever I work on vehicle related material.
Thanks

السير بالأربع عجلات

AWD

All Wheel Drive

وهو مثل مصطلح 4WD ويعنى السير بالعجلات الاربعة


4WD :-

Four Wheel Drive

أي السير بالأربع عجلات، و هو نظام مخصص للطرق
الوعرة سواء الجبلية أو الرملية، حيث تتعرض السيارة
للغوص في الرمال إن لم يكن الدفع موزعاً على العجلات الأربع،
أما في الطرق الجبلية فيحدث أن تعلق عجلة في الهواء دون أن
تلمس الأرض و هنا أيضاً يكون من المفيد استخدام هذا النظام
Note from asker:
I guess this is more commonly called ""يارة رباعية الدفع¨, right?

نظام الدفع الرباعي المستمر المتناسق

There are almost as many different types of four-wheel-drive systems as there are four-wheel-drive vehicles. It seems that every manufacturer has several different schemes for providing power to all of the wheels. The language used by the different carmakers can sometimes be a little confusing, so before we get started explaining how they work, let's clear up some terminology:

Four-wheel drive - Usually, when carmakers say that a car has four-wheel drive, they are referring to a part-time system. For reasons we'll explore later in this article, these systems are meant only for use in low-traction conditions, such as off-road or on snow or ice.

All-wheel drive - These systems are sometimes called full-time four-wheel drive. All-wheel-drive systems are designed to function on all types of surfaces, both on- and off-road, and most of them cannot be switched off.
Part-time and full-time four-wheel-drive systems can be evaluated using the same criteria. The best system will send exactly the right amount of torque to each wheel, which is the maximum torque that won't cause that tire to slip.

for arabic you can use
الدفع الرباعي الكامل
الدفع الرباعي على جميع العجلات
نظام الدفع الرباعي المستمر المتناسق



السيارة للامام فجميع السيارات تعتمد في آلية حركتها على الدفع الامامي او الخلفي ما عدا سيارات سوبارو اذ تعتمد جميع سيارات سوبارو على نظام الدفع الرباعي (الامامي والخلفي) على جميع العجلات بشكل متصل All Wheel Drive والتي تختصر ب AWD وتعتمد تشكيلة منظومة الدفع هذه في ترتيب مكونات السيارة على التناسق والتي تعرف Symmetrical AWD ويترجم نظام الدفع الرباعي المستمر المتناسق
