Many motorists go out of four-wheel vehicles that are either hulking off-road monster or expensive race cars. While it is certainly true that such high- performance cars and trucks require four-wheel drive , improved traction control , and dealing with all-wheel drive is provided slowly crept into regular commuter vehicles in which it has been shown to offer advantages in terms of safety , speed and handling. Subaru has offered all-wheel cars and sedans for well over a decade , as well as Saab and Volvo. In recent years , Ford, Mitsubishi , citric , Volkswagen and Honda all have begun to take four-wheel drive options on various hatchbacks and other small car, what they learned from the rally circuit and its application to the " hot hatch " - market. While all-wheel drive comes at the expense of tire wear and fuel economy, advanced technologies to minimize these disadvantages and maximize the speed , cornering and handling advantages , so many engineers say all-wheel drive , will one day become as standard as anti-anti -lock brakes and seat belts.
The primary advantage of 4WD systems is that they ensure the maximum amount of contact and control on the road. Two-wheel drive cars, especially small or light vehicles, are notorious for losing grip on one or more of the tires, especially in heavy wind, rain or snow. In a 2WD car this can be disastrous if one of the tires losing grip happens to be connected to the engine, since this will cause the car to violently buck in the direction of the gripping tire and oversteer into a spin. Additionally, 2WD cars, especially rear-wheel drive vehicles, have difficulty getting out of deep mud, dirt and snow because not all the wheels are receiving power from the engine. This means that when one of them slips, the car is unable to grip, and becomes stuck. The lack of grip also makes it difficult for 2WD vehicles to climb inclines, especially on unimproved road surfaces. New four wheel drive vehicles have none of these problems.
That's why almost all of our work trucks , especially hunting and farm trucks like the Toyota Hilux , have all-wheel drive . In the event that one of the wheels lose grip through soil , or mud slides to lose, the other wheels are still able to deliver power and propel the vehicle forward. Momentum is the best way to fight a loss of grip , and so keep the vehicle moving through , over and around any mistakes is the best way to keep it in motion. The same is true for high- performance racing vehicles , with an advanced traction control requires a 4WD system to the power away from the wheel whichever hard on a gripping turn pull and it . Onto wheel depending on what needs more
Experience with all-wheel drive cars off-road and rally circuits led car designers to understand that all-wheel drive is more than just fun in the dirt , it provides safety on the road . Mitsubishi has a pioneer in this , thanks to her recent series of success in the rally circuit . By ensuring that the car is always a sure grip , designers can ensure that the driver is always in control . This allows them to other cars and turn to avoid effective , proactive steps to prevent accidents.
