Is the Civic a Front-Wheel Drive or Rear-Wheel Drive Car?
1 Answers
The Civic is a front-engine, front-wheel drive (FWD) vehicle, meaning the engine is located at the front of the vehicle and powers the front wheels. The advantages of front-engine, front-wheel drive are as follows: 1. Eliminates the need for a driveshaft, reducing vehicle weight and making the structure more compact; 2. Efficiently utilizes the engine compartment space, providing a more spacious cabin and helping to lower the floor height for improved ride comfort; 3. The engine is closer to the drive wheels, resulting in higher power transmission efficiency and better fuel economy; 4. The front placement of the engine and other major components increases the load on the front axle, enhancing high-speed driving stability and directional stability during braking; and simplifies the rear suspension system.
