Symmetrical All Wheel Drive vs Regular All Wheel Drive AWD

Symmetrical All Wheel Drive vs Regular All Wheel Drive AWD
 
Subaru has made a name for itself because of it’s Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system. While owners of vehicles with normal AWD might not see the benefit of owning a Subaru, it is actually much safer to drive and is more efficient.
 
If you look at the drivetrain in a Subaru vehicle, you’ll notice that one side is just a mirror image of the other. While the symmetry may not seem important, it is actually a lot safer than normal AWD. The symmetry allows for better balance of the vehicle and gives you better control as a driver.
 
The most important thing about Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive is that it sends power to all four wheels continuously. In All-Wheel Drive, that only happens after the vehicle senses slippage and may not be able to react in time. Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive greatly reduces the chances of you slipping in the first place, making it a much safer option.
 
Finally, Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive is more efficient which means your vehicle will last longer. It uses fewer components and loses less power due to friction compared to normal All-Wheel Drive. Therefore, not only will you be safer when you drive a Subaru, but you will also be getting your money’s worth.
