When the
roads are bad, AWD has great advantages, but also disadvantages issue
consumption and vehicle weight.

wanted to know more and to do this compared several models.
Long, AWD
is no longer just reserved for off-road vehicles, but is virtually available
for all vehicle models, small car family. In recent years, SUVs and crossovers,
which are usually equipped with AWD, are still more popular, increasing the
share of 4x4 vehicles in US. The benefits of all-wheel drive are clear: better
traction and handling in more stable cornering. These qualities are
particularly sought when the roads are wet or snowy and tire wear 4x4 cars is
very regular general.
Overweight and power losses
It is
undeniable that AWD has advantages but also disadvantages. Over-consumption is,
especially now because of the discussions on CO2, a topical theme. This is
attributable to overweight and power losses due to higher friction. In
addition, the boot capacity of 4x4 is often smaller than its counterpart 4x2
since mechanical components under the vehicle make enough room. Because of
overweight, the payload of the vehicle is often lower. We doubt that the 4x4 309,000
vehicles sold in 2015 have actually been used as a pure off-road. Rather, it is
assumed that they were bought for reasons of prestige and fashion. This trend
is especially valid for SUVs and crossovers.
Conclusion
It is not
easy to compare different models of cars on over-consumption, overweight and
the extra cost. To do this, it is essential that the engine, transmission and
equipment are identical, otherwise the results are distorted. Little-suv.blogspot.com
has compared a total of 26 car models that met these criteria. The results of
this comparison are clear. On average, overweight is 90 kg, the consumption of
0.5 l / 100 km and the extra cost of CHF 4'200.-. These facts, however, are a
gain for one who really need a 4x4. For example, for the Nissan Qashqai +2 2.0
dCi acenta, one of the most popular SUV in US, CANADA, AUSTRALIA, available
with or without all-wheel drive, the extra cost of operating costs
(maintenance, taxes, insurance, fuel, depreciation, etc. .) for a wheel drive
with respect to a front-wheel amounts to 540 $.
