How Much Higher Is the Fuel Consumption of 4WD Vehicles?
1 Answers
4WD vehicle fuel consumption depends on the displacement. Generally, 4WD consumes slightly more fuel than 2WD vehicles of the same displacement. A 2.0L 4WD vehicle typically has a fuel consumption of around 14 liters per 100 kilometers. Advantages of 4WD vehicles: Four-wheel drive is the highest cornering limit transmission method on the road. It can distribute the optimal driving force to each wheel when the vehicle is cornering at high speed. Therefore, this technology is widely used in large-displacement vehicles that focus on handling performance. The main purpose of equipping them is to improve effective driving force and cornering limits. Disadvantages of 4WD vehicles: The structure of four-wheel drive is relatively complex, with higher costs and larger space occupation, making it unsuitable for lower-positioned or smaller models. Additionally, 4WD consumes power, and its transmission efficiency is lower than that of two-wheel drive. For models that prioritize economy and have smaller engine power, full-time four-wheel drive is not suitable for assembly.
