Regarding the ride smoothness differences between Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) and All-Wheel Drive (AWD), a comprehensive analysis is required based on power distribution characteristics and applicable scenarios. Since RWD models deliver power only to the rear wheels, when driving on dry paved roads, the front and rear wheels have clear divisions of labor (front wheels for steering, rear wheels for driving), the body weight distribution is more balanced, the rear-end dynamic response is flexible when cornering, and the driving experience is more linear and full of handling fun, making it suitable for users who pursue precise steering feedback. The AWD system, on the other hand, distributes torque to all four wheels in real time through a central differential (usually 30%-50% to the front wheels and 50%-70% to the rear wheels). It can automatically adjust power output on wet, icy, or rough road conditions, improving grip by 30%-40%, significantly reducing slipping or torque steering, and providing higher driving stability. It is especially suitable for scenarios such as frequent driving in rainy areas or on unpaved roads. For economy, due to its simpler structure, RWD typically has a fuel consumption that is 0.8-1.5 L per 100 kilometres lower than that of AWD of the same class, and the annual maintenance cost is saved by about 500-800 Ringgit. However, AWD has better safety redundancy in extreme weather; for example, the success rate of starting on icy and snowy roads is 60% higher than that of RWD.
