When shopping for a new Chevrolet or Buick car for sale, it helps to know about the different features found on each model. This is why it’s helpful to do an AWD vs. FWD drive comparison, so you can know what to look for in a new car. Here at Patriot Auto Group, we have great selections of new cars in each drivetrain, so you can shop our selection and find the model that suits you best.
AWD Vs. FWD
When shopping our online inventory, you may come across several types of features found on each car, including the drivetrain or “driveline.” Some common ones to spot are AWD and FWD. But what do these mean?
Most vehicles start with FWD, which is short for “front-wheel drive.” This simply means that power is only sent to the two front wheels of the vehicle. This is typically the best drivetrain for everyday practicality and efficiency, which is why it is offered as a standard drivetrain on most vehicles, especially sedans.
Another common drivetrain to find on vehicles is AWD, which stands for all-wheel drive. On this drivetrain, power is distributed between the four wheels based on the need for torque and grip. As you can imagine, this drivetrain is well-suited for off-roading and all-weather driving.
