Is the Chery 5x Front-Wheel Drive or Rear-Wheel Drive?
1 Answers
Chery 5x is front-wheel drive. Disadvantages of front-wheel drive vehicles: The disadvantage is that since the main components such as the engine and drive system are concentrated in the front of the vehicle, the rear of the vehicle has less weight distribution, making the rear wheels prone to losing traction and resulting in poorer handling. Additionally, front-wheel drive vehicles inherently have issues with understeer. Moreover, the front axle serves as both the steering axle and the drive axle, leading to complex structure and manufacturing processes, higher production costs, and difficulties in maintenance and repair. Disadvantages of rear-wheel drive vehicles: The drawbacks of rear-wheel drive are also quite evident. The engine power must travel from the driveshaft to the rear axle to drive the rear wheels, which involves a relatively long distance, inevitably resulting in some power loss. Furthermore, components like the driveshaft and rear axle occupy more interior space, leading to issues such as a raised floor in the middle of the cabin.
