What does RWD mean on a car?
1 Answers
RWD on a car stands for Rear-Wheel Drive. Most luxury cars generally use rear-wheel drive, with a weight distribution close to 50:50, which enhances the overall stability of the vehicle. Below is relevant information about rear-wheel drive in cars: Acceleration: During startup and acceleration, the vehicle's weight shifts backward, increasing pressure on the rear wheels. This provides the rear wheels with more grip, thereby improving acceleration. Ease of Maintenance: Unlike front-wheel drive vehicles, where all powertrain components are concentrated at the front of the car, rear-wheel drive vehicles are mechanically simpler compared to front-wheel drive ones. As a result, they are easier to disassemble and maintain.
