What are the Differences Between Four-wheel Drive and Two-wheel Drive?

The differences between four-wheel drive and two-wheel drive are:

① Different driving wheels.
② Different kinds.
③ Different driving modes.
④ The number of differentials is different.
⑤ Different prices.

Different driving wheels:

Four-wheel drive is driven by four wheels of the vehicle, while two-wheel drive is mainly driven by the front or rear wheels of the vehicle.

Different types:

Four-wheel drive can be divided into three types, namely:
① Full-hour four-wheel drive
② Part-time 4wd.
③ Timely four-wheel drive

Two-wheel drive can be divided into:
① Front wheel drive
② Rear wheel drive

Different driving modes:

Two-wheel drive means that only two wheels are driving wheels, which are connected to the vehicle’s power system; The four-wheel drive means that the vehicle has always maintained the form of four-wheel drive while driving.

The number of differentials is different:

Automobile differential can realize the mechanism that left and right (or front and rear) driving wheels rotate at different speeds: in the case of four-wheel drive, all wheels must be connected in order to drive four wheels. If the four wheels are mechanically connected together, an intermediate differential needs to be added to adjust the speed difference between the front and rear wheels; The two-wheel drive only needs to connect two wheel machines.

Different prices:

The price of four-wheel drive is relatively high; The price of the two-wheel drive is cheaper.
