What do you mean by front drive and rear drive?

The front wheel refers to the power distribution mode in automobile design, and the engine only drives a pair of front wheels. Nowadays, most cars are equipped with front-wheel drive.

Front-mounted and rear-mounted drive is a general term for automobile driving forms, and "target" namely front engine and rear-mounted drive (FR) are the most traditional driving forms.

Extended data:

The advantages of front drive are: compact structure of power system, short drive shaft and small power output loss. In terms of handling, front-wheel drive is inherently understeer and easy to drive. In the layout, there is no transmission shaft passing through the carriage, which can reduce the bulge in the middle of the car body and increase the available space of the carriage. Its disadvantage is that it will reduce the front axle load when starting, which will lead to the decrease of tire adhesion and affect the power output. In addition, the front wheel is responsible for driving, steering and most of the braking force, so the wear is serious.
