When it comes to buying a new car, there are a lot of things to think about. At Page Toyota in Southfield, MI, we know it can be overwhelming, and we want to clarify a few concepts to help you make a better decision. While most vehicles have front-wheel drive, there are some that feature rear-wheel drive. Have you ever wondered why?
Front-wheel drive vehicles have power delivered to their front wheels. This frees up space in the back and allows the cabin to be a bit bigger. Front-wheel drivetrains are usually compact and relatively cheaper to build. They’re also fairly efficient.
Rear-wheel drive is mostly used in performance vehicles, such as sports cars and very high-end sedans and SUVs. With rear-wheel drive, vehicles can accelerate more quickly and display better handling. It’s definitely a system designed for those who love driving and want their vehicles to be extremely responsive.
