Now-a-days vehicles come in 3 drive configurations such as front wheel drive, rear wheel drive, and 4 wheel drive and all wheel drive. Only front wheels are driven by engine in case of front wheel drive, and only the back wheels of vehicle are driven by engine in case of rear-wheel drive.
To provide a compact package this front wheel drive is used. If the front wheels of the vehicle are driven by engine then very little space is necessary. If it is rear wheel drive configuration then there is a center tunnel or a higher chassis is not necessary. Rear-wheel drive vehicle's driveshaft has to reach from the engine to the rear wheels, it may cause the need for a tunnel or higher chassis. A good traction also can be provided by the front wheel drive configuration.
Front wheel drive vehicles are more preferred than rear-wheel drive because of having better traction due to weight distribution and they can be driven in snow, mud or wet roads. Any way, rear wheel drive vehicles are quickly accelerated than front wheel drive because of weight transference which takes place at the time of acceleration, it causes the front wheels to reduce the grip and torque and is adversely affected by this.
The feature of the front wheel drive vehicles is transverse engine, and rear wheel drive vehicles have a longitudinal engine. The size of the engine is restricted by the front wheel drive configuration, due to the style of the engine. Because of this most luxury cars and sports cars do not have rear wheel drive configuration.
It is important to consider the driving habits and requirements to determine which configuration will be best for you.
