What is the difference between Audi A4 4WD and 2WD?
1 Answers
Four-wheel drive (4WD) and two-wheel drive (2WD) vehicles differ in the number of driven wheels. A 2WD vehicle has only two driven wheels, while a 4WD vehicle has four. Meaning of 2WD: Two-wheel drive means that only two wheels are driven, typically either the front wheels (front-wheel drive) or the rear wheels (rear-wheel drive). In contrast, four-wheel drive means all four wheels can be driven simultaneously, with both the front and rear wheels providing power. Four-wheel drive (4WD): Four-wheel drive offers advantages when driving on poor road conditions. For example, if the front wheels lose traction, the rear wheels can still drive the vehicle, making it suitable for off-road use. However, 4WD consumes more fuel. On the other hand, 2WD is more suitable for city commuting, offering lower fuel consumption compared to 4WD, though its off-road performance is inferior to that of 4WD.
