How does the Suzuki SX4 AWD system work?

Question

I DO NOT want a link to the Official Suzuki site. Anyone mind breaking it down for someone who isn't a car mechanic? I'm trying to compare it to the Subaru AWD system (which I love but I'm curious about Suzuki's SX4 AWD system).

Answer 1

Well Subaru has 2 systems. Manual models use a system that is normally 50-50 split, and the computer redistributes power if any wheels are slipping. Automatic models use a system that has an electronically controlled central clutch that in conjunction with the computer, determines where power is needed the most (I'm assuming it may be FWD biased for normal driving).



Suzuki on the other hand actually has selectable AWD. In normal mode, the system is in FWD only. The next mode is computer controlled AWD, which like the Subaru distributes power to where it is needed. The third mode is 50-50 split, similar to Subaru except it is a permanent split (i.e. always 50-50).



*50-50 split means 50% power to the front wheels and 50% power to the rear wheels*

Answer 2

Suzuki Awd

Answer 3

AWD is like 4WD they run with the four wheels instead of one. A normal car runs with either one wheel or two. AWD is driving with four wheels at the same time which gives more traction and handling at less mpg. 4WD is runnig with a heavy transmission that also runs with four wheels but is for more extreme conditions such as rock climbing. AWD is a less weight transmission than 4WD to drive in snow, dirt, road, and gravel.



AWD is fun and great but I don't recommend suzuki my dad is a mechanic and I have seen tons of those cars with engine and transmission problems
