Rear Wheel Drive – RWD Meaning

 


 

With the engine powering only the rear wheels, these vehicles are sometimes thought of as giving a more authentic drive, with the front two wheels free to deal with the steering and the back two providing the “push.”

In addition, with the weight of the car towards the rear, there tends to be greater grip and power. The downside of this, and the separation of steering and power, is that rear-wheelers can be more difficult to drive in snow and ice than front-wheel drive cars. Nevertheless, you will find plenty of advocates of rear-wheel drive who will point to a more enjoyable experience behind the wheel as one of the main reasons to choose one of these cars.
