What are the differences between rear-wheel drive and front-wheel drive?
1 Answers
Here are the differences between front-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive vehicles: 1. Engine aspect: (1) Rear-wheel drive vehicles mostly adopt a longitudinal engine layout, which occupies more space. This can significantly compress the rear passenger space, making it less comfortable. However, for vehicles with a longer wheelbase, the rear space can still be quite sufficient. (2) Front-wheel drive vehicles use a transverse engine layout, freeing up more space. There is no protruding driveshaft visible inside the car, thus significantly improving rear passenger comfort. 2. Handling aspect: (1) Front-wheel drive vehicles offer higher stability. (2) Rear-wheel drive vehicles provide more driving fun.
