Is the Grand Commander a four-wheel drive vehicle?
2 Answers
The Grand Commander offers four-wheel drive models. It has two types of drive systems: one is front-wheel drive, and the other is on-demand four-wheel drive. Below is an introduction to four-wheel drive: 1. The drive systems of vehicles are divided into three types: front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, and four-wheel drive. Four-wheel drive is further categorized into three types: on-demand four-wheel drive, part-time four-wheel drive, and full-time four-wheel drive. 2. Comparatively, on-demand four-wheel drive has the weakest off-road capability, as it is primarily designed for urban use. Therefore, some hardcore off-road vehicles are equipped with either part-time four-wheel drive or full-time four-wheel drive. Generally, only some urban SUVs are equipped with on-demand four-wheel drive.
I've been driving the Grand Commander, and this vehicle indeed offers a 4WD version. As an owner, I opted for the 4WD model because it comes with Jeep's Active Drive system, which automatically switches to four-wheel drive on slippery roads or during light off-roading to enhance traction. If you frequently drive on snowy roads or in rural areas, it's absolutely practical. In the standard configurations, most Grand Commander trims like the Limited offer 4WD as an optional package, while the base version might be front-wheel drive. In terms of fuel consumption, the 4WD version is slightly higher, but the added safety is worth the investment. Remember to check the manual during the test drive to confirm the version, as inventory varies by region. Jeep is renowned for its off-road capabilities, and this system also provides excellent stability during high-speed cornering. Personally, I find it very reliable.
