What does 4*2 mean in cars?
1 Answers
4×2 in cars indicates that the vehicle has 4 wheels, with 2 of them being drive wheels. Below is relevant information about vehicle drive systems: Four-wheel drive (4WD): This means both the front and rear wheels of the car have power. The engine's output torque can be distributed in different proportions to all wheels according to road conditions to improve the vehicle's driving capability. It is generally represented by 4X4 or 4WD. If you see these markings on a vehicle, it means the car has four-wheel drive capability. Two-wheel drive: In two-wheel drive systems, they can be further subdivided into front-engine rear-wheel drive (FR), front-engine front-wheel drive (FF), rear-engine rear-wheel drive (RR), and mid-engine rear-wheel drive (MR) based on the engine's position and the location of the drive wheels. The most commonly used configuration in two-wheel drive SUVs and sedans is front-engine rear-wheel drive. In this drive system, all the engine's power is delivered to the rear drive axle, which drives the rear wheels to propel the vehicle forward. It is generally represented by 4X or 2WD.
