What is the four-wheel drive of Audi Q5?
1 Answers
The four-wheel drive system of Audi Q5L is called quattro, which stands for a full-time four-wheel drive system. Introduction to Full-Time Four-Wheel Drive: Full-time four-wheel drive means that at all times, the vehicle is propelled by all four wheels independently. This system utilizes a flexibly connected central differential, along with independent front and rear axle differentials, to distribute driving force to all four tires. Unlike purely mechanical differential locks, full-time four-wheel drive differentials can be either viscous coupling or multi-plate clutch types, but both allow for speed differences between front and rear wheels, as well as left and right wheels. Whether a vehicle has full-time four-wheel drive depends entirely on the construction of its transfer case. As the core component governing different driving states, the transfer case significantly influences the overall performance of the vehicle. Introduction to On-Demand Four-Wheel Drive: On-demand four-wheel drive refers to a system that switches to four-wheel drive only when necessary, remaining in two-wheel drive under other conditions. The system automatically switches between two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive modes based on driving conditions, without requiring manual intervention. On-demand four-wheel drive differs from part-time four-wheel drive, which requires manual switching between two-wheel and four-wheel drive, and full-time four-wheel drive, which operates in four-wheel drive mode under all conditions.
