What is AWD?

[McDonovan]

AWD stands for All-Wheel Drive system, which is commonly equipped on off-road vehicles and high-performance sedans. The All-Wheel Drive system means that all four wheels of the vehicle are driving wheels and are constantly engaged in driving. Through the central differential and independent differentials on the front and rear axles, the driving force is distributed to all four tires. The differentials in an All-Wheel Drive system can be categorized into viscous coupling and multi-clutch types. The advantages of the All-Wheel Drive system are: 1. Vehicles equipped with All-Wheel Drive have greater traction, making it easier to start on slippery surfaces and when climbing slopes; 2. Vehicles with All-Wheel Drive have stronger off-road capability and better ability to escape difficult situations; 3. Vehicles with All-Wheel Drive are more stable during extreme driving, thus improving driving stability to a certain extent.
