What Is The Difference Between Cars 4WD And AWD?
Whether you're in the market for a SUV, pickup, or car, you've probably come across this question at one point or another: What's the difference between 4WD and AWD? As opposed to the standard front or rear wheel drive of 2WD vehicles, both distribute power to all four wheels of a standard vehicle. If you live somewhere where you will be driving in snow and mud a lot, this added power could help you a lot. However, there are still many people who don’t have a clue what the difference between the two is.
4WD or AWD could save you, even though they cost more
Although a vehicle with either system is more expensive than a two-wheel drive vehicle, you probably won’t find yourself stranded on the road during bad driving conditions, whether caused by weather or environment. Get more auto loans for a safer 4-wheel drive care or get something less: the choice is the buyer’s. How Stuff Works summary following should help you between 4WD or AWD.
Part-time 4WD - throw the switch only when necessary
In attempting to answer what's the difference between 4WD and AWD, start with part-time 4WD. This is the basic way of selling 4WD; you use a switch to change between 2WD and 4WD. As long as the 4WD setting is avoided on dry pavement, excessive mechanical wear can be avoided. Some vehicles in this class have a basic 2WD/4WD toggle, and some have added options like 4WD High and 4WD Low (the latter and should only be used in extreme off-road scenarios). Newer part-time 4WD vehicles allow the driver to shift from 2WD to 4WD High while the car is moving but must be at a complete stop before moving from 2WD to 4WD Low. Older part time 4WD cars needed to be stopped before any shift can happen. If you will only be using 4WD occasionally, then part time 4WD is the best choice for you. Frequent changes in driving conditions that would necessitate a constant switch between 2WD and 4WD are both inconvenient for the driver and add wear and tear on the drive train.
Full-time 4WD - when you want to keep it running
Without putting strain on the car, this is a more advanced form of 4WD that can be left on. Automatic 4WD, high, and low settings are all available. Most vehicles require you to be completely stopped before it will shift from low to high and back. Drivers who tend to drive under adverse situations more often can avoid the tedious 2WD/4WD switching and go with this full-time 4WD option.
No switch with AWD-4WD
All wheel drive gives power to all wheels just like four wheel drive but doesn’t have a 2WD switch usually. AWD locks the vehicles axles and automatically feeds power to all wheels on slippery roads. AWD cars are usually good for slipper roads but not very good for rugged off road excursions. Certain AWD vehicles such as the Dodge Durango and Toyota 4Runner do offer a low-gear AWD setting that allows for tougher roads, however. Much weight isn’t added to the car by AWD typically and is good for all weather.
Is 4WD or AWD safer?
Both are supposed better than 2WD but How Stuff Works says: that doesn’t mean 4WD and AWD are automatically safer. Drivers should remember that while 4WD and AWD help acceleration, they do not help with cornering and braking. On wet, snowy roads, it matters little whether you have a 4WD, AWD or 2WD vehicle when it comes to maneuvering and stopping. Having good brakes, having a fine suspension, and using the right set of ties will be more important.
