The Eve 4x2 comes with a rear helical limited slip differential, which helps provide extra traction off-road, but it's not as effective as a 4x4 system. We had one with us for the Ford off-road supplement we did last year, but didn't take it very far down the trail. Stock 18" wheels and LSD didn't give enough traction to do the river crossings.
Shame, I was looking forward to bringing it down the trail. I have friends with the old (non-CRDI) 4x4, and they take it pretty far out off-road.
