Front-Wheel Drive | Grip and Efficiency

Front-wheel drive is probably the most common drivetrain, and for good reason. Front-wheel drive vehicles have great traction because most modern vehicles have their engines located under the front hood. The location of the engine weight in relation to the driven tires is what allows front-wheel drive vehicles to provide such great traction. In addition, front-wheel drive vehicles are often more fuel-efficient than comparable all-wheel drive models.

Rear-Wheel Drive | Built for Speed

If you've ever driven a vehicle focused on performance like a coupe or other sports car, there's a good chance it was a rear-wheel drive vehicle. By having their drivetrain located in the back of the vehicle, sports cars are able to improve acceleration. It also tends to improve a vehicle's handling, especially when turning or performing race-like maneuvers. To get the absolute most out of your next sports car purchase, make sure you go for a model with rear-wheel drive!

All-Wheel Drive | Maximum Traction

Over the last ten or so years, all-wheel drive has become increasingly popular alongside the rise of SUVs. All-wheel drivetrains provide the absolute best traction in the game, making them perfect for driving in just about all weather conditions. All-wheel drivetrains are also the best suited for uneven or loose terrain like what you would find when off-roading. While many modern SUVs still come with front-wheel drive as the standard powertrain, most have the option to upgrade to all-wheel drive. While choosing to upgrade to all-wheel drive will improve your overall traction and safety on the road, it's important to remember that it comes at the cost of fuel efficiency.
