Are cars generally front-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive?

[VonGeorge]

Cars are generally front-wheel drive. Front-wheel drive: The design of front-wheel drive cars is relatively cheaper than rear-wheel drive cars, both in terms of design and assembly costs. The biggest disadvantage of front-wheel drive cars is their handling. Because the car components are relatively concentrated in the front of the body, the rear becomes very light, making the rear wheels prone to losing traction. During acceleration and braking, the front axle bears excessive load, causing noticeable lift, which affects comfort. Rear-wheel drive: In the earliest days, cars used rear-wheel drive. The advantage of rear-wheel drive is better handling performance, improving the car's balance and control. Front-engine rear-wheel drive cars are easier to accelerate and climb hills on the road, with greater driving wheel adhesion pressure, and also have good handling performance. Of course, rear-wheel drive cars also have their shortcomings, such as higher costs due to more rear-wheel components, and less space compared to front-wheel drive cars.
