Two-wheel drive vehicles can be either front-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive. The differences between four-wheel drive and two-wheel drive vehicles are as follows: 1. In terms of driving method: Four-wheel drive vehicles have all four wheels driven, while two-wheel drive vehicles have only two wheels driven. 2. In terms of differential: Four-wheel drive vehicles require a center differential to adjust the speed difference between the front and rear wheels, whereas two-wheel drive vehicles' differentials allow the left and right (or front and rear) drive wheels to rotate at different speeds. 3. In terms of performance: Four-wheel drive vehicles have outstanding power and strong off-road capability, making them suitable for off-roading, while two-wheel drive vehicles balance urban commuting and off-road performance. 4. In terms of driving experience: Four-wheel drive vehicles enhance stability on slippery roads. Two-wheel drive vehicles are divided into front-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive. Front-wheel drive vehicles have good stability but lower handling limits, while rear-wheel drive vehicles are prone to losing control in rain or snow but have higher handling limits.
