The key benefit of 4WD is improved traction, especially in challenging conditions like snow, mud, ice, or off-road terrain. By distributing power to all four wheels, 4WD SUVs have a better grip and are less likely to get stuck.
There are different types of 4WD systems, ranging from part-time systems (driver-selectable) to full-time systems (continuously engaged). Some systems also offer features like low-range gearing, which provides extra torque for extremely challenging situations. However, even with 4WD, safe driving practices are crucial, and 4WD does not make a vehicle invincible or immune to accidents.
