National Park Service Will Cite AWD Drivers for Dr...
I wouldn't say 4WD vs AWD is the best filter but if that is all they can come up with I guess it works.
Some Audi's have locking differentials and they are AWD.

Audi's with Torsens only lock front-to-back (but then so do a lot of 4WD vehicles). They use brakes to stop slipping wheels so the other side will get torque. A long time ago, they had lockers for the rear for low speed use.

Audis don't have transfer cases - that's the key difference between AWD and 4WD.
