Know About All-Wheel Drive
When it comes to buying a car, consumers consider the drivetrain as one of the determining factors. Now, what is drivetrain? Well, it is when you ask, does the car have front-wheel drive (FWD) or rear-wheel drive (RWD or all-wheel drive (AWD)? This is something which can help you to know the differences and benefits of a car.
To be very precise, in front-wheel and rear-wheel drive alignments, only one set of wheels is being used to deliver power from the engine to the pavement. In a rear wheel vehicle, the two rear wheels are being engaged in handling acceleration, leaving the front wheels to focus solely on directing the vehicle
While, all-wheel drive makes use of all the four wheels for traction improvement for performance. Till today, Infiniti’s Intelligent AWD system is one of the most advanced systems available on any automobile. You will find this system in whole Infiniti product line, including Infiniti G sports sedan and coupe, the Infiniti EX luxury crossover and Infiniti M luxury sedan and Infiniti FX performance crossover. Itelligent AWD system uses an active torque distribution management system with an active center clutch for smooth start, greater grip and better maneuverability. This advanced system can detect traction needs in most road conditions and react accordingly. It can constantly monitor road conditions and automatically shifts all-wheel drive to rear-wheel drive, thereby delivering performance and stability to most driving conditions.
In addition, Intelligent AWD system also measures wheel spin, throttle position and vehicle speed constantly and when it finds conditions are less than optimal, it sends power to the front wheels to provide all-wheel traction. Further, it has the ability to modulate the braking system to distribute power from side to side, when needed!
