I am a high school student at The Collegiate School. I am looking to become a mechanical, civil, or electrical engineer. I plan to go to college, possibly FSU, and move forward with my career.
FWD, RWD, or AWD: Which is the Best Choice for the Daily Driver
This study compares front-wheel drive (FWD), rear-wheel drive (RWD), and all-wheel drive (AWD) systems to determine which offers the most balanced combination of performance, safety, and fuel efficiency for the average driver. Existing research highlights clear trade-offs between efficiency, traction, and handling across drivetrain types. By analyzing peer-reviewed engineering studies, safety reports, and consumer data, this project evaluates how each system performs in real-world driving conditions. The findings suggest that drivetrain selection depends largely on driver priorities and environment.
