Why Did Wuling Choose Rear-Wheel Drive?
1 Answers
Wuling's choice of rear-wheel drive is primarily determined by factors such as vehicle purpose and chassis structure. Purpose: Most Wuling vehicles are used for transporting passengers and cargo. If there is a significant load at the rear of the vehicle, the front wheels may experience insufficient traction, and under heavy loads, the front wheels are prone to slipping. Choosing rear-wheel drive allows for greater horsepower capacity and offers a more engaging driving experience. Chassis Structure: In rear-wheel drive vehicles, the rear wheels are responsible for propulsion while the front wheels handle steering, which is a more rational drivetrain layout. In front-wheel drive vehicles, the front wheels must both propel the vehicle and steer, accelerating tire wear. Front-wheel drive vehicles are also more susceptible to understeer during high-speed cornering.
