Front-Wheel Drive or Rear-Wheel Drive for Sedans?
1 Answers
The following are the differences between rear-wheel drive and front-wheel drive for sedans: 1. Different driving methods: Front-wheel drive is when the engine drives the front wheels, pulling the entire vehicle forward, while rear-wheel drive is when the engine drives the rear wheels, pushing the entire vehicle forward. 2. Price difference: Front-wheel drive cars are cheaper to manufacture and more economical and practical; however, they are prone to understeer, causing the driver to often push the nose inside the turn. Rear-wheel drive cars are slightly more expensive but offer more flexible handling and greater torque, though they have a tendency to oversteer. 3. Fuel consumption difference: Rear-wheel drive cars, due to the presence of a driveshaft and the addition of a differential, experience power loss and efficiency reduction, making them more fuel-consuming than front-wheel drive cars.
