What is Volkswagen's four-wheel drive system called?
1 Answers
Volkswagen's four-wheel drive system is mainly divided into two types: 4Motion and 4xMotion. Here are the differences between the two: 1. 4xMotion uses an electronically controlled differential, while 4Motion uses a mechanical one. 2. Compared to the 4xMotion system, the 4Motion system enhances road driving capabilities. 3. The 4Motion system has a climbing ability of 31 degrees, while the 4xMotion TDI can climb up to 45 degrees. Here are the advantages of four-wheel drive: 1. Expands traction limits: Since all-wheel drive vehicles can utilize the entire weight of the car as adhesion pressure, the adhesion is significantly increased, thereby expanding traction limits. 2. Reduces the driving force burden on each wheel: Power from the engine can be distributed to each wheel, reducing the driving force burden on each wheel. This ensures that sufficient power is transmitted to the road without exceeding the tire friction limit (preventing wheel slippage), giving the car strong off-road capabilities. 3. Extends tire lifespan: Uniform tire wear helps prolong the lifespan of the tires.
