hello guys

just wondering is there much difference between 4wd and awd apart from 4wd is selected?
i have a college assignment and i have to write the pros and cons of awd i cant think of any.

cheers

 

Two different terms of the same thing if you are talking about on a 4 wheeled vehicle surely?

 

4wd as in selected 2 or 4wd and awd drive as in constent 4 wheels driven all the time.

 

On what sort of vehicles?

On road or off road?


Where would something like a skyline sit which has variable torque split?

 

any on or off road.

they want some thing like say a warrior because there selcted aint they
but awd drive like an vlovo v70 coz mosty of them are constant 4 wheels driven.

and me and my mate was talking about varible torque split but isnt the most you can go is like 80/20 to the back?

but the front wheels are still being driven therefore wouldnt it still be an awd?

 

Well briefly speaking the main advantage of selectable 4wd is that it is better for economy
