All-wheel drive is a drivetrain configuration where the torque is directed from the engine to the front and rear axles to all four wheels via differentials. There are different kinds of AWD systems like full- and part-time AWD. Just like their names would suggest, full-time AWD systems send torque to the front and rear axles all the time, whereas part-time AWD systems monitor road conditions and driving habits to decide when it’s best to send torque only to the front axle.
Four-wheel drive is a traditional 4×4 drivetrain with the main difference between 4WD and AWD is just that. Even though 4WD systems can send power to the front and rear axles, they also direct a specific amount of power between the left and right wheels. Typically, 4WD systems are designed for thrilling off-road prowess and built into truck-based platform vehicles.
AWD or 4WD: which is better? This depends on your driving needs and priorities. AWD vehicles are typically the better option for car shoppers who enjoy rugged off-road conditions or need an onsite truck utility for their job.
