What does X-Trail 2WD mean?

[JeremiahFitz]

2WD mode refers to the two-wheel drive mode, where the power is delivered to the front wheels. Characteristics of 2WD: The two-wheel drive system can be further categorized based on the position of the engine and the drive wheels, including 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). Among these, front-engine rear-wheel drive (FR) is the most commonly used in two-wheel drive SUVs and sedans. FR, short for front-engine rear-wheel drive, is a traditional drive configuration. In this setup, the front wheels are responsible for steering, while the rear wheels handle the vehicle's propulsion. The engine's power is entirely transmitted to the rear drive axle, driving the rear wheels to move the car forward. Essentially, the rear wheels 'push' the front wheels to propel the vehicle. Difference between 2WD and 4WD: 2WD stands for two-wheel drive, while 4WD stands for four-wheel drive. The four-wheel drive system distributes the engine's driving force from two wheels in a 2WD system to all four wheels. 4WD utilizes a low-range gear ratio to help the vehicle overcome slipping on muddy or snowy surfaces.
