What does power transmission mode mean

Powertrain mode refers to the way a vehicle transmits power, i.e., the power from the engine is transmitted to the wheels through the drivetrain.

Common powertrain modes include front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive.

Front-wheel drive is when the engine's power is transmitted to the front wheels through a driveshaft, rear-wheel drive is when the engine's power is transmitted to the rear wheels through a driveshaft, and four-wheel drive is when the engine's power is transmitted to all four wheels at the same time through the drivetrain.

The different powertrain modes can have an impact on the vehicle's performance, handling and fuel economy.
