If you’re just beginning your car search, there is probably a lot of research you’ll want to do in order to make the right decision for your next new vehicle. When it comes to drivetrain specifically, all the information you need is right here! Read on and the professional and friendly car dealers at Brunswick Auto Mart near Akron, OH will help you learn a little bit more about the differences between all wheel, front wheel, rear wheel, and four wheel drive.
Front wheel drive (FWD)
The most common vehicle drivetrain, front wheel drive employs power in the two front wheels of a vehicle, resulting in smooth handling and good gas mileage. Almost all sedans and coupes, as well as some crossover SUV models and hatchbacks include this type of drivetrain.
Rear wheel drive (RWD)
Essentially the opposite of front wheel drive, this type of drivetrain involves power going to the two back wheels in a vehicle exclusively. This type of drive train is most common on trucks and SUVs, especially those that include a part-time 4x4 option.
All wheel drive (AWD)
An all wheel drive vehicle involves multiple wheels getting different amounts of power based on electronic sensors. This allows for just the right amount of traction when you need it. Some sedans, hatchbacks, and small SUVs include all wheel drive.
Four wheel drive (4x4)
If you have a passion for off-roading or are looking for the most torque possible at a variety of speeds, four wheel drive is for you. Similar to all wheel drive, but with an equal amount of power going to each of the four wheels, this drivetrain is common in truck and SUV models like the 2017 Jeep® Cherokee.
