While AWD can help improve handling on normal driving surfaces, and can improve traction on rainy roads and a bit on snow-covered roads, you wouldn’t want to take an AWD vehicle off-roading.
Habang AWD maaaring makatulong na mapabuti paghawak sa normal ibabaw sa pagmamaneho, at maaaring mapabuti ang traksyon sa tag-kalsada at ng kaunti sa snow-covered kalsada, hindi mo nais na kumuha ng isang AWD sasakyan off-roading.
