Can On-Demand AWD Be Driven on Snowy and Icy Roads?
1 Answers
On-demand AWD can be driven on snowy and icy roads. On-demand AWD performs very well in terms of traction during acceleration and high-speed driving, as well as in escaping muddy and rough terrain. However, its anti-slip performance on snowy and slippery surfaces is not particularly outstanding. Vehicles equipped with AWD modes can select the snow mode, which significantly enhances performance on snowy and icy roads. At high speeds, on-demand AWD primarily offers better grip and reduces tire slippage under high torque, so there isn't much difference between AWD and two-wheel drive when driving at high speeds. However, in the event of slippage, AWD provides better stability than two-wheel drive. Whether it's on-demand AWD, part-time AWD, or full-time AWD, the AWD system greatly helps in suppressing side-slip on slippery surfaces.
