Many Volvos feature an All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system. Note that a two-wheel drive system is either front or rear wheel drive. The car is driven solely by the front or rear wheels, which creates different dynamics in each system. So, an all-wheel drive system is a version of a four-wheel drive. This means all four wheels are driven wheels, although some systems run on two wheels until loss of traction or too little traction is detected, at which point all wheels are driven.
It is not necessary to get into the complexity and variances associated with AWD to understand how they are relevant to tra ..read more
