What does AWD mean?
1 Answers
AWD stands for All-Wheel Drive, which means that both the front and rear wheels of the vehicle have power. The engine's output torque can be distributed in different proportions to all wheels according to the road conditions to improve the vehicle's driving capability. Four-wheel drive modes can be divided into full-time four-wheel drive and part-time four-wheel drive. The difference between the two is that part-time four-wheel drive can switch between four-wheel drive and two-wheel drive, while full-time four-wheel drive is basically always in four-wheel drive. Four-wheel drive is divided into: 1. Full-time four-wheel drive: The vehicle is always independently driven by all four wheels at any time; 2. Part-time four-wheel drive: The driver can manually switch between two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive modes by engaging or disengaging the transfer case based on road conditions; 3. On-demand four-wheel drive: The system automatically switches between two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive according to the driving conditions, only engaging four-wheel drive when necessary, while remaining in two-wheel drive under normal circumstances.
