When choosing a Chevy at Victorville Chevrolet, you'll have many options to choose from in our new car inventory. One of the most basic and important decisions you will make regards the type of drivetrain that your vehicle will employ on the roads of Hesperia. Essentially, you can choose one of three different drive types: front-wheel-drive, all-wheel-drive, and rear-wheel-drive. Each system has its own pros and cons, meaning you need to understand each system to help you make the best choice for your driving needs.
Front-Wheel-Drive
Front-wheel-drive vehicles remain the most common and straightforward for Apple Valley drivers. Since the engine and the drivetrain sit in the same spot, a front-wheel-drive vehicle can achieve good fuel efficiency. Plus, the engine's weight helps the front wheels achieve superb grip in various road conditions. However, the problem remains that the back wheels can fishtail on slick roads, leading to a loss of control.
Rear-Wheel-Drive
If you like your vehicle with a side of exceptional handling in Barstow, then a rear-wheel-drive car serves as the best place to start. You'll typically find rear-wheel-drive powertrains in sports cars because a rear-wheel-drive system puts less weight on the front tires. This means that your vehicle remains more responsive to minor steering adjustments. Thanks to improvements in traction control, this type of drivetrain appears increasingly popular in all kinds of vehicles.
All-Wheel-Drive
To achieve the best grip at all times on the roads around Adelanto, CA, you'll want to opt for an all-wheel-drive vehicle. All-wheel-drive vehicles dynamically deliver power to all four wheels at the same time. Essentially, all-wheel-drive mirrors four-wheel-drive, except all the power routing gets taken care of automatically. If the system detects that one of your wheels starts slipping, for example, the onboard computer can route extra power to the other three wheels so that you can maintain control of your vehicle. This capability can help get you out of many sticky situations.
If you'd like to get a feel for each of these drive types, we invite you to stop by our Victorville dealership. We carry an exciting range of Chevrolet cars for sale, and we look forward to meeting you!
