Is the Mercedes-Benz G-Class a Part-Time 4WD?
1 Answers
The Mercedes-Benz G-Class is not a part-time 4WD; all models in the lineup feature full-time 4WD. Vehicle four-wheel drive systems are divided into three main categories: 1. On-demand 4WD. 2. Part-time 4WD. 3. Full-time 4WD. Below is an introduction to four-wheel-drive vehicles: 1. On-demand 4WD has weaker off-road capabilities and is typically equipped in some urban SUVs. 2. Full-time 4WD means all wheels are independently driven at all times while the vehicle is in motion. 3. Taking the 2019 G500 as an example, it is powered by a 4.0-liter V8 turbocharged engine, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission, delivering a maximum power of 310 kW and a maximum torque of 610 Nm, all meeting the China National V emission standards.
