What is the difference between the two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive versions of the Avancier?
2 Answers
The difference between the two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive versions of the Avancier lies in their driving methods: the two-wheel drive version only delivers power to two wheels, while the four-wheel drive version provides power to all four wheels. The Avancier is positioned as a mid-size SUV, with body dimensions measuring 4816mm in length, 1942mm in width, and 1669mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2820mm. The Avancier is equipped with two engine options: a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine and a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. Additionally, the Avancier features a range of advanced active safety technologies, including the Honda SENSING system, MVCS 360-degree panoramic imaging system, PA automatic parking assist system, and CTM rearview dynamic reminder system, making the driving experience more relaxed and safer.
As a car owner with ten years of driving experience, I have driven both the two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive versions of the Avancier. The biggest difference lies in the drivetrain. The two-wheel drive version is front-wheel drive, with power only delivered to the front two wheels, making it very suitable for city driving. It has low fuel consumption, averaging around 8L per 100km, and is simpler and cheaper to maintain. However, the four-wheel drive version is all-wheel drive, with power distributed to all wheels simultaneously, providing much stronger traction on rainy, snowy roads, or during sharp turns, reducing the risk of skidding and enhancing safety. The four-wheel drive version has slightly higher fuel consumption, around 10L per 100km, and is more expensive by several thousand dollars, but I think it's worth it, especially when driving back to my rural hometown in winter—it feels very stable. For daily use, if you mainly commute in the city, the two-wheel drive version is more than sufficient. But if you frequently encounter rough road conditions or enjoy road trips, the four-wheel drive version definitely offers more peace of mind. Overall, the choice depends on your driving environment and budget. I personally recommend test-driving both to feel the difference.
