What is the difference between quattro all-wheel drive and regular all-wheel drive?
1 Answers
Audi's quattro all-wheel drive system differs from regular all-wheel drive in terms of operation and performance. Below is a comparison of the two: Different operation: (1) quattro all-wheel drive system: The quattro all-wheel drive system uses a central differential between the front and rear axles to absorb the speed difference between the front and rear wheels, balancing power distribution between the axles, ensuring the vehicle is always in all-wheel drive mode. (2) Regular all-wheel drive system: The regular all-wheel drive system requires the driver to manually switch driving modes, using a transfer case to rigidly connect or disconnect the front and rear axles to achieve all-wheel drive mode. Different performance: (1) Full-time all-wheel drive system: The quattro all-wheel drive system offers superior driving experience, stable cornering, and strong off-road performance. (2) Regular all-wheel drive system: The regular all-wheel drive system provides a poorer driving experience, unstable cornering, and weaker off-road performance.
