Four-wheel drive, 4-wheel drive or 4x4 is a term used to describe a four-wheel vehicle with a powertrain that allows four wheels to receive power of the engine at the same time. The term has traditionally been linked to sport utility vehicles, or SUVs, which have been very popular in the United States, and are now growing in popularity throughout Europe. The advantage of a car with four-wheel drive is that it allows two-wheel drive normally on the roads and above normal four-wheel mode of low traction conditions such as snow, ice, slippery surfaces, mud or loose gravel.
In response to criticism by civic groups against the use of large SUVs for travel urban dailies, car manufacturers are now trying to position smaller versions of green vehicles, with the highest levels of CO2 emissions much closer to their conventional equivalents that major car models. For example, Citroen has recently launched the C-Crosser, only available with a particle filter diesel engines and frugal.
These new models are likely to be popular in Europe, where small SUVs were more successful than larger models, and are likely to be a greater driving force for sales of vehicles with 4-wheel drive in a near future. Other examples include the Nissan Qashqai and Renault Koleos, both by the combination of four-four hard and limited off-road capabilities of handling a car.
JD Power Automotive Forecasting estimated SUVs include 1.5 million of 18.3 million vehicles, or 8% of the automobile market in Europe in 2007. From this quotient, 0.6% are small SUV, 2.4% are large and 5.3% on average. In 2010, the SUV segment is estimated to grow by 10.1%, with an average growth rate of 7% and major slips to 2.2%. In 2014, the SUV market is expected to rise to 11.2%, with average cars responsible for 7.6% for large cars and 2%. The total number of new European automobile market is expected to be 21.9 million vehicles.
This is of course good news for car workshops. In recent years, television shows such as MTV's Pimp My Ride, have increased the popularity of the award or, if you like, customizing cars with things like game consoles, chrome wheels and faster engines. But before you switch to 4x4 owners try Similarly, the revision of their own vehicles, it might be better to invest in a new set of 4x4 tyres.
Donald Cheach, editor of Top Gear Malaysia, Malaysia recently told the Star: "The first thing I would recommend is definitely a better set of tyres. There is nothing wrong with making upgrades as fast it is not the same effort to improve the safety aspect of the vehicle. wheels represent the unsprung weight of the vehicle. Generally, the lighter, more efficient performance. suspension should be considered at the next, followed by upgrades to the engine. "
Ultimately, those seeking to purchase a new SUV in order to take advantage of its capabilities 4x4, and yet remain aware of the environment, will find their needs met by the well-coming mid-size and small SUVs, if they decide to their pimps or not.
