Does Aston Martin Have 4WD?
2 Answers
Aston Martin is not 4WD but rear-wheel drive. Below is an introduction to the drive systems: Two-wheel drive vehicles: Two-wheel drive vehicles typically use the rear wheels (or front wheels) as the driving wheels, with the front wheels (or rear wheels) as the driven wheels, and the driving and driven wheels remain fixed. Common two-wheel drive configurations include front-engine front-wheel drive, front-engine rear-wheel drive, and rear-engine rear-wheel drive. Four-wheel drive vehicles: Four-wheel drive vehicles usually refer to all four wheels providing power simultaneously. Common four-wheel drive systems include full-time 4WD, part-time 4WD, and on-demand 4WD. Compared to two-wheel drive vehicles, four-wheel drive vehicles offer stronger power performance and are easier to get out of muddy terrain.
As a track enthusiast, I'm deeply impressed by Aston Martin's all-wheel-drive system. The DBX, as the brand's first AWD model, broke tradition with its intelligent system that instantly distributes power, remaining rock-solid on icy surfaces. The later V8 Vantage also introduced an AWD version with ultra-precise power distribution during cornering. However, classic models like the DBS Superleggera remain steadfastly rear-wheel-drive, preserving that tail-happy driving thrill that AWD can't replicate. The upcoming hybrid Valhalla will feature e-AWD, with electric motors responding faster than mechanical systems. When it comes to Aston Martins, model generations matter – post-2019 saw significantly more AWD options, though most V12-powered flagships still cater to rear-drive purists.
