This is separated by front-wheel drive (FWD) and rear-wheel drive (RWD) options, denoting which side of the wheels are powered by the engine. The FWD set up is the most common with most passenger cars. It is commonly more economical to build and run, and provides better use of space compared to RWD cars. FWD options are also better in ascending hills and mountains as the engine\u2019s weight is placed up front.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-16047 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/white-bmw-e46-under-cloudy-skies-707046.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/white-bmw-e46-under-cloudy-skies-707046.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/white-bmw-e46-under-cloudy-skies-707046-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/white-bmw-e46-under-cloudy-skies-707046-768x511.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The RWD set up on the other hand are more common in premium and performance vehicles. Generally, these cars handle better as the weight distribution is balanced more evenly between the front and rear. Additionally, because the front wheels do not have to do both driving and steering, the suspension can be tuned to enhance handling.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Four-Wheel Drive (4WD)<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16050\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16050\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-16050 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/4wd-rs.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"555\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/4wd-rs.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/4wd-rs-300x167.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/4wd-rs-768x426.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-16050\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A Four-wheel Drive (4WD) set up.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Often mistaken and used interchangeably with AWD, 4WD is normally reserved for vehicles that can handle rougher terrain, off-road driving and low-traction conditions. 4WD systems today are split into three main types &#8211; part-time, full-time and automatic modes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-16042 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/red-nissan-vehicle-running-on-sand-dune-1370746.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/red-nissan-vehicle-running-on-sand-dune-1370746.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/red-nissan-vehicle-running-on-sand-dune-1370746-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/red-nissan-vehicle-running-on-sand-dune-1370746-768x511.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Part-time systems are mainly 2WD for road use until the driver requires the system to be in 4WD during severe off-road conditions. The driver is then needed to switch manually to the 4WD mode. Because of the way part-time systems are set up, it must be switched back to 2WD mode when on normal road conditions, as to prevent damage to the drivetrain.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-16053 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/range-rover-2245374_1280.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/range-rover-2245374_1280.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/range-rover-2245374_1280-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/range-rover-2245374_1280-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Full-time systems as the name suggests, always have the engine powering each wheel all the time.

When it comes to fuel economy, the automatic and part-time systems do provide better mileage compared to the full-time system.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>All-Wheel Drive (AWD)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-17463 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/quattro-awd-1-gif-rs.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The main purpose of AWD vehicles is to provide the best traction possible on all weather conditions (rain, snow, mud, sand, etc) apart from off-road terrain. The most simplified explanation of AWD vehicles is that the engine can send power to the wheels which are not-primarily driven. This means FWD vehicles sending power to the rear when needed, and vice versa. However not all AWD systems are the same.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16039\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16039\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-16039 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/H_SymmetricalAWD.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/H_SymmetricalAWD.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/H_SymmetricalAWD-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/H_SymmetricalAWD-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-16039\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A look inside Subaru&#8217;s Symmetrical AWD system.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Although most AWD systems are derived from 2WD drivetrains, there are others that do provide constant power that is split between the front and rear. The range in general includes systems that are predictive, on-demand, symmetrical, full time and more, available on most mass market manufacturers. Most importantly, most of them use software and sensors to detect wheel slip, activate traction control and react quicker to distribute engine torque to the wheels with more grip.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Which is best for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-16044 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/silver-suv-on-asphalt-road-during-rain-1105674.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/silver-suv-on-asphalt-road-during-rain-1105674.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/silver-suv-on-asphalt-road-during-rain-1105674-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/silver-suv-on-asphalt-road-during-rain-1105674-768x511.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This all depends on your lifestyle and where you drive to daily. If you mostly drive to work and back, the simplicity of a 2WD either FWD or RWD will be sufficient for your commute. If you prefer heading off the beaten path but still want to be practical on the road, a part-time 4WD or AWD system should serve you well. As for thrilling adventure seekers, part-time 4WD still serves its purpose well, but if you want the ease and comfort of having a full-time 4WD system, the convenience will be well worth it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-16046 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/tyre-1714669_1280.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"562\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/tyre-1714669_1280.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/tyre-1714669_1280-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/tyre-1714669_1280-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Even so, with Malaysia\u2019s tropical climate seeing rain and shine all year round, it is no surprise why local consumers are gearing towards an AWD SUV or 4WD pick-up truck as their next ride.
