Is Volkswagen's Full-Time Four-Wheel Drive a Pseudo Four-Wheel Drive?
1 Answers
Volkswagen's full-time four-wheel drive is not a pseudo four-wheel drive. The following are the specific differences between full-time four-wheel drive and ordinary four-wheel drive: 1. Operation: The full-time four-wheel drive system uses a central differential between the front and rear axles to absorb the speed difference between the front and rear wheels, balance the power distribution between the front and rear axles, and ensure the vehicle is always in four-wheel drive mode. Ordinary four-wheel drive systems require the driver to manually switch driving modes, using a transfer case to rigidly connect or disconnect the front and rear axles to achieve four-wheel drive mode. 2. Performance: The full-time four-wheel drive system offers a better driving experience, stable cornering, and strong off-road performance. Ordinary four-wheel drive systems have a poorer driving experience, unstable cornering, and weaker off-road performance. 3. Manufacturing cost: The full-time four-wheel drive system has a complex structure and higher manufacturing costs. Ordinary four-wheel drive systems have a simpler structure and lower manufacturing costs.
