Is the Mercedes-Benz A-Class Rear-Wheel Drive?
1 Answers
The A-Class and B-Class models under Mercedes-Benz have front-wheel-drive versions as well as four-wheel-drive versions, while the C-Class, E-Class, and S-Class offer rear-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive versions. Advantages of rear-wheel drive: Good driving force, strong acceleration and climbing ability, high mechanical transmission efficiency in direct gear, easy matching of front and rear axle loads to a 1:1 ratio, resulting in consistent comfort levels between front and rear seats or even more comfort in the rear seats, absence of the less reliable steering drive universal joint component, and a very mature and highly technical drive form that is relatively reliable. Disadvantages of rear-wheel-drive cars: Rear-wheel-drive cars are prone to oversteering, and improper steering operation in rainy or snowy weather can easily cause the vehicle to spin in place.
