Is the Jimny two-wheel drive front-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive?
1 Answers
Jimny is a rear-wheel drive off-road vehicle. Introduction to rear-wheel drive off-road vehicles: Rear-wheel drive refers to a vehicle where the engine's power is transmitted to the rear wheels via the driveshaft, propelling the vehicle forward. Rear-wheel drive is a relatively traditional form of drive, with the earliest cars mostly being rear-wheel drive. In rear-wheel drive vehicles, the front wheels do not generate power during driving; they only serve to bear weight and steer. Advantages of rear-wheel drive off-road vehicles: Excellent acceleration performance, high comfort level. When starting, accelerating, or climbing, the vehicle's center of gravity shifts backward, increasing the traction of the rear wheels as the driving wheels. Good handling: since the rear wheels are responsible for driving, the front wheels can focus on steering, making the vehicle more responsive during turns. Easy maintenance: the front-engine, rear-wheel drive layout places components such as the engine, clutch, and transmission closer to the cabin, simplifying the layout of the control mechanism and the structure of the steering system.
