1 Answers
All-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive have the following differences: 1. Different power distribution methods Rear-wheel drive: In rear-wheel drive, the engine only drives a pair of rear wheels. 4-wheel drive: In 4-wheel drive, the engine drives both the front and rear wheels. 2. Different costs Rear-wheel drive: The drive shaft of rear-wheel drive needs to pass through the cockpit, requiring the manufacture of a rear axle housing. The transmission and differential are assembled separately, requiring more parts, resulting in higher costs for sedans. 4-wheel drive: 4-wheel drive has two drive shafts. The rear-wheel drive shaft needs to pass through the cockpit, requiring the manufacture of a rear axle housing. The transmission and differential are assembled separately, requiring the most parts, resulting in the highest costs for sedans.
