four-wheel-drive layout

A four-wheel-drive (4WD) layout in cars refers to a drivetrain system where power is delivered to all four wheels simultaneously. This setup enhances traction and stability, especially on rough, slippery, or off-road surfaces. Commonly found in SUVs and off-road vehicles, 4WD systems can be part-time (engaged only when needed) or full-time (always active), and often include a low-range gear for extreme terrain. It’s ideal for adventurous driving and challenging weather conditions.
