Can anyone explain what FWD is and the difference with 4x4 please

 

[theforestdweller]

FWD is Front Wheel Drive
AWD is All Wheel Drive - ie 4 x 4

I suspect you are making the same error I used to in thinking that FWD stood for Four Wheel Drive

I understand that fwd is able t shift drive to the rear wheels in poor conditions, am I correct?

No that is wrong
FWD- means Front Wheel Drive- the engine is in the front of the car and drives the front wheels only.

AWD- ALL Wheel Drive - means the engine can drive ALL 4 wheels and is another name for 4X4 or 4 wheel drive
