Too Afraid to Ask

Two‑wheel drive means the car only pushes on two wheels, usually front or back. It’s common in everyday cars and is easier to maintain than four‑wheel drive.

Technical Definition

A vehicle that powers only two of its wheels, typically the front or rear axle. Most standard cars are two‑wheel drive, which is simpler and lighter than all‑wheel systems.
