Subaru is
one of the few auto manufacturers that went all-in on all-wheel drive. That’s
right, all vehicles in its North American line come with all-wheel drive as
standard.
What benefits
does this system offer to drivers? Below are a few:
Superior
Traction
When driving on snowy or slippery roads, safety is
the number one priority. Since all-wheel drive cars distribute power to all
four wheels, any of them can propel a car forward even if one or two wheels
lose traction, thereby giving added protection to motorists under these driving
conditions.
Always On
Four-wheel drive cars give you the option of
turning off the power supplied to all wheels. Hence, you can switch between
two-wheel and four-wheel drive at will. With all-wheel drive vehicles, though,
the power is always on, so you no longer have to worry about switching modes.
Balanced
Weight
To power all the wheels, additional components must
be added to the car, particularly at the rear. These parts balance out the
weight of the vehicle, which tends to be heavier towards the front because
that’s where the engine is. With more balanced weight comes better handling.
As you can see, all-wheel drive provides
convenience and safety that other vehicles simply cannot. If you plan to get a
car with this feature, be sure to work with a reputable dealer in your area.
