The Mercedes SL-class car is equipped with the following types of drive: Rear (FR), Full (4WD). Let's figure out which type of drive is best for a car.
There are only three types of drive. Front wheel drive (FF) - when the torque from the engine is transmitted only to the front wheels. Four-wheel drive (4WD) - when the moment is distributed to the wheels and the front and rear axles. As well as Rear (FR) drive, in his case, all the power of the motor is completely given to the two rear wheels.
Front-wheel drive is more “safe”, front-wheel drive cars are easier to handle and more predictable in motion, even a beginner can handle them. Therefore, most modern cars are equipped with a front-wheel drive type. In addition, it is inexpensive and requires less maintenance.
Four-wheel drive can be called the dignity of any car. 4WD increases the cross-country ability of the car and allows its owner to feel confident both in winter on snow and ice, and in summer on sand and mud. However, you will have to pay for the pleasure, both in increased fuel consumption and in the price of the car itself - cars with a 4WD drive type are more expensive than other options.
As for rear-wheel drive, in the modern automotive industry, either sports cars or budget SUVs are equipped with it.
