Is the Baojun 310W front-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive?
1 Answers
Baojun 310W is a front-engine, front-wheel-drive vehicle, with a MacPherson strut independent suspension for the front and a torsion beam semi-independent suspension for the rear. Front-wheel drive refers to a car design where the engine only drives the front wheels. The characteristics of front-wheel drive are as follows: Lower cost: Manufacturers prioritize cost when designing and producing cars. Front-wheel drive designs are less expensive than rear-wheel drive, both in terms of design and assembly. Front-wheel drive cars do not require a rear drive shaft or rear gearbox, and the transmission system is also different from rear-wheel drive, with fewer and more centralized components. This makes it easier to arrange other parts of the car, such as the braking system, fuel lines, and exhaust system, in the lower part of the car. Lighter weight: Reducing weight means that with the same displacement and horsepower, a lighter car accelerates more easily, has a shorter braking distance, and is more fuel-efficient. The mechanical components of front-wheel drive are fewer and simpler than those of rear-wheel drive, which significantly reduces weight. Additionally, because the weight of the engine and drive axle is concentrated on the front wheels, which are the driving wheels, it helps improve the car's traction, which is particularly advantageous on slippery roads.
