Duan Zishou once said, Why don't I buy Apple 8? The answer is only one word: poor! But the answer to why I don't consider buying a full-time four-wheel drive is definitely not this, otherwise I wouldn't have to write the following words.

Every time I take to the street and see the words AWD or 4MATIC on the back of those cars or SUVs, I know that I have passed a four-wheel drive model. At present, the common four-wheel drive logos on the market mainly include: Mercedes-Benz 4MITIC, BMW xDrive, Audi quattro, others include AWD logos of Mazda and Subaru, and Volkswagen 4MOTION.

Let's get down to business. Let me talk about the driving mode of a car first. The four-wheel drive modes of automobiles mainly include full-time four-wheel drive, timely four-wheel drive and part-time four-wheel drive. Some car buyers don't know how to choose when facing the promotion of merchants.

Let's start with the part-time 4wd. This four-wheel drive mode requires the driver to manually switch to the four-wheel drive mode. Generally, vehicles equipped with this mode are all in two-wheel drive mode, and only when four-wheel drive function is needed will they switch to four-wheel drive mode. According to different models, the switching mode is also different. Some early models need to stop, and some need to shift into reverse gear to cut in or cancel the four-wheel drive mode.

There are generally three switching modes, namely "2H", "4H" and "4L", on vehicles with part-time four-wheel drive mode. "2H" is mainly used for driving on paved roads; "4H" runs on some bumpy roads that can drive at low speed; "4L" is only used to get rid of bad roads and climb slippery steep slopes. At this time, we can get rid of the predicament by changing the power distribution of the four wheels and amplifying the torque.

Timely four-wheel drive means that the system automatically switches two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive modes according to real-time road conditions, basically without human intervention, and the on-board computer automatically switches according to the actual set standards.

Full-time four-wheel drive, literally, is well understood, that is, there is basically no option of two-wheel drive, and it is always a four-wheel drive mode. Its characteristic is that it is a four-wheel drive mode, whether it is paving the road or rotten road, straight road or turning, and it does not need the driver to manually switch according to the road conditions.

Does it sound like a full-time four-wheel drive is awesome? It is. If you are not short of money, you don't have to look at the rest. If you want horses to eat less grass and run more, please read on.

Why don't I consider buying a full-time four-wheel drive? The following factors may be worth considering:

The price of four-wheel drive models is relatively high. Whether it is a car or an off-road vehicle, four-wheel drive models are generally priced as high-end or top-of-the-line models. For example, the manufacturer's guide price of Mercedes-Benz C200 Sports Edition is 365,438+0.48 million yuan, while C2004MATIC equipped with four-wheel drive system is more than 70,000 yuan, which is 389,800 yuan. For a Mercedes-Benz car equipped with a four-wheel drive system, it seems that there are not many opportunities to use the four-wheel drive function to get out of trouble.

The manufacturer's guide price of Volkswagen Tiguan L automatic two-wheel drive fashion version is 223,800 yuan, while the cheapest four-wheel drive version of Volkswagen Tiguan L manufacturer's guide price is 289,800 yuan. The difference of more than 60 thousand is enough for the owner to add a few years of gas. There may not be many opportunities to use the four-wheel drive function when the owner drives for one year. After all, this is just an SUV that is positioned in urban off-road.

Four-wheel drive is not used in many occasions. How many car owners who buy Mercedes-Benz GLC or BMW X5 will be willing to use it to conquer the Sichuan-Tibet line or cross the no-man's land in Hoh Xil? Some people even just use it as a means of commuting. Some four-wheel drive vehicles may not take unpaved roads once a year. Buying a full-time four-wheel drive model at this time is a complete waste of vehicle performance and your wallet.

In addition, the fuel consumption of full-time four-wheel drive is relatively high, which is generally the standard of more than ten liters of oil per 100 kilometers of urban pavement. In the long run, plus the investment in buying a car, compared with the two-wheel drive model, it is also a big difference and expenditure.

When you really encounter difficulties, full-time four-wheel drive may not be counted on. When one wheel of a full-time four-wheel drive vehicle slips, the on-board computer limits its idle speed by braking the slipping vehicle, so that the differential can transfer the power transmitted to the slipping wheel to other wheels that do not slip. If you are unfortunate enough to buy a full-time four-wheel drive vehicle with a differential, once one wheel slips and idles, the other three wheels can't get power and the vehicle can't get out of trouble. At this time, full-time four-wheel drive is just a joke.

Write at the end:

Although Tucao has a full-time four-wheel drive, it does not mean that all full-time four-wheel drives are not worth recommending. In other words, 10,000 car owners have 10,000 Hamlets, depending on their own needs and budgets.

Finally, judging from the many full-time four-wheel drive models of luxury car brands, I just want to have ten words to answer the question I asked myself: poverty limits my imagination.
