What is "front-wheel drive"?
Front-wheel drive (FWD) is a system in vehicles where the engine sends power to the front wheels, making them responsible for both moving the vehicle and steering it. This system is commonly found in many cars because it is simpler, more fuel-efficient, and provides better traction in wet or slippery conditions compared to rear-wheel drive. Front-wheel drive vehicles often offer more interior space, as the components that move the vehicle are located at the front. This layout also improves stability and handling, especially for drivers with less experience in challenging driving conditions.
