If you’ve made a car purchase recently, there’s a good chance it was an SUV. With the rise of these popular cars in the market, more Australians are buying four-wheel-drives more than ever before. Today’s 4WDs aren’t just for transport – they’re lifestyle vehicles, effortlessly blending traditional practicality with all the benefits of an off-road vehicle.
While 4WD models generally cost more than their two-wheel-drive counterparts, the added benefits are often worth the investment. A modern 4WD usually includes novice-friendly features and state-of-the-art technology that adapts to your terrain to help keep you safe.
The main point of difference is the power to the wheels. While 2WD vehicles are operated from the front or rear, in 4WD vehicles power is directed to all four wheels at the same time. This system is not only a major safety feature, but it also maximises road traction. This means you’re able to head on an off-road adventure to explore some of Australia’s best hidden tracks and natural wonders.
