What are the advantages of rear-wheel drive vehicles?
1 Answers
The advantages of rear-wheel drive vehicles are: the rear wheels have stronger grip during acceleration, resulting in better acceleration performance. Rear-wheel drive vehicles also offer excellent handling and driving pleasure, and they can perform drifts. Rear-wheel drive is a very reasonable driving method, where the rear wheels are responsible for propelling the car forward, while the front wheels only handle steering. Rear-wheel drive vehicles have a smaller turning radius and much better handling compared to front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive vehicles. Additionally, the engine and transmission in rear-wheel drive vehicles are longitudinally mounted, allowing the entire powertrain to be positioned as far back as possible. The biggest advantage of front-wheel drive is cost and weight savings, as it eliminates the need for a driveshaft running under the cabin and a rear axle housing. The transmission and differential are assembled in a single housing, saving parts and fuel consumption while also improving acceleration and braking performance.
