What's the difference in the way cars drive?

Our common car driving methods are two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive. Four-wheel drive vehicles are mostly SUVs or off-road vehicles. Fuel vehicles are generally divided into front drive, front and rear drive, rear drive, rear drive and rear four-wheel drive. Some sports cars adopt middle rear drive and middle four-wheel drive. Electric vehicles are divided into dual-motor rear drive, dual-motor four-wheel drive, three-motor four-wheel drive, four-motor four-wheel drive and electronic timely four-wheel drive.

1, precursor

Refers to the way that the engine is placed in front of the car and the front wheel drives the whole car. Precursor is the most common driving mode, which is commonly used in economical family cars. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this driving mode?

Advantages: low cost, good fuel economy, strong handling stability and fast engine heat dissipation;

Disadvantages: insufficient traction for starting acceleration, heavy load on front axle and short life of front wheel.

2. Front and rear drive

Refers to a form of engine front and rear wheel drive. The front rear drive has better traction than the front drive, and the front drive is commonly used in domestic performance cars, such as BMW 3 Series and Mustang.

Advantages: the traction performance is better than that of the predecessor, the steering wheel is the driven wheel, and the steering structure is simple and easy to maintain;

Disadvantages: When wet roads such as ice and snow start to accelerate, it is easy to flick the tail.

3. Front wheel four-wheel drive

Refers to the way that the engine is placed in front of the car and the whole car is driven by four wheels. Four-wheel drive has good maneuverability, and luxury cars generally use the front four-wheel drive, such as Paramera.

Advantages: Four-wheel drive has better handling performance than front-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive. In case of rain and snow, tires are not easy to slip, which is why many cars launch four-wheel drive versions;

Disadvantages: complex process and high manufacturing cost.

4. Central rear drive

This means that the engine is arranged behind the front axle, which is a central rear drive.

5. Rear drive.

It means that the engine is arranged behind the rear axle and driven by the rear wheel, such as Porsche 9 1 1.

6. Mid-mounted four-wheel drive

Compared with the rear wheel drive in the engine, the mid-mounted four-wheel drive has stronger maneuverability and cornering limit, and is often used in high-performance sports cars and super sports cars.

7. Rear four-wheel drive

That is, the engine uses four-wheel drive, and Porsche 9 1 1 four-wheel drive models use it.
