Wondering which drivetrain is best suited for your lifestyle needs? In order to better understand the offered drivetrains available in the auto market, you first need to ask yourself a few questions. Are you looking for maximum fuel-economy through a model that can simply scoot you around the Knoxville and Maryville, TN area? Are you perhaps more interested in securing a model that boasts better driving dynamics? Or, are you searching for greater all-terrain confidence with the additional benefit of ease of use through inclement weather?
Each available drivetrain offers its own unique benefits to drivers around the Knoxville and Maryville, TN area of which we've briefly outlined below.
- Rear-Wheel-Drive: Many of our available Genesis sedans operate with Rear-Wheel-Drive systems that deliver acute road feel and sportier steering. So if you're a motorsports enthusiast, a Rear-Wheel-Drive model will likely deliver the impressive handling traits you're seeking.
- Front-Wheel-Drive: On the other hand, Front-Wheel-Drive models are renowned for their smart engineering as power is only sent to one axle as opposed to two. What's more, is they offer better handling in foul weather conditions than Rear-Wheel-Drive models. On the flip side, they don't tout the same level of impressive dynamics which is why most sport-tuned luxury sedans and SUVs include either Rear-Wheel-Drive or All-Wheel-Drive systems.
- All-Wheel-Drive: All-Wheel-Drive delivers the most traction of the available drivetrains as power is driven to all four wheels. Naturally, All-Wheel-Drive Genesis models have a strong advantage over their Rear-Wheel-Drive siblings when it comes to traveling on dirt roads, through rain, and snow.
Which Drivetrain is Right for Me?
To put it simply, we'd suggest considering a Front-Wheel-Drive vehicle if you're looking for road-friendly performance and impressive fuel-economy from your vehicle. Conversely, Rear-Wheel-Drive vehicles like the Genesis G70, G80, and G90 boast upgraded handling as front tires steer and rear tires handle delivering power and traction. If you're seeking the greatest amount of traction across the board, a Genesis sedan or SUV like the GV80 with All-Wheel-Drive will ensure safe and confident traveling ability around Sevierville and Oak Ridge, TN.
