Does the T-Roc have four-wheel drive?
2 Answers
The T-Roc does not have a four-wheel drive version; all models in this series are front-wheel drive. The T-Roc is FAW-Volkswagen's first SUV product, based on the T-Roc. Compared to the overseas version, this model has a wheelbase increased by 77mm and is positioned as a compact SUV. Information about four-wheel drive is as follows: 1. Four-wheel drive refers to a form where the vehicle maintains four-wheel drive throughout the entire driving process. The engine's output torque is distributed to the front and rear wheels in a fixed ratio. This drive mode can provide better off-road and handling performance at any time, but it cannot adjust torque distribution based on road conditions and has higher fuel consumption. 2. Part-time four-wheel drive is a system where the driver can manually choose between two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive. By engaging or disengaging the transfer case, the driver can switch between two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive as needed. This is the most common four-wheel drive system for off-road vehicles or SUVs with four-wheel drive capabilities.
Yes, the Volkswagen T-Roc does come with a 4WD version. I've driven my friend's 4WD T-Roc - this system primarily operates in front-wheel drive during normal conditions, and automatically distributes power to the rear wheels when encountering slippery roads or during rapid acceleration. You might not notice much difference during regular city driving, but when I took it on a muddy mountain road during a countryside trip, it was noticeably more stable than the 2WD version. However, I should mention that the 4WD version costs 20,000-30,000 RMB more than the standard model, and fuel consumption increases by 1-2 liters. If you mainly commute in urban areas, the 2WD version is sufficient; but if you frequently drive on rural roads or enjoy road trips, the 4WD version significantly enhances safety. I recommend test driving both versions at a dealership to compare their actual performance.
