Sprinter Vans: AWD vs. FWD vs 4x4 vs. RWD

There are plenty of options when shopping for a new van in the Laguna Beach area, but none can offer the superior all-wheel drive system that is available on the Sprinter vans for sale at Fletcher Jones Van Center. What makes Sprinter AWD so special? First of all, let’s take a look at the basic differences between drivetrains:

  • Front-Wheel Drive (FWD): Engine power is delivered to the front wheels, providing a conventional and efficient driving experience on city streets and highways.
  • Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD): Engine power is directed to the rear wheels, establishing a better weight distribution. RWD is commonly found on performance vehicles and is available on the Sprinter vans.
  • 4x4 (aka, 4WD): Favored by off-roaders and commonly offered on trucks, 4x4 distributes power to all four wheels. 4WD systems typically need to be activated by the driver as needed. Sprinter vans from 2015 to 2022 were available with 4x4.
  • All-Wheel Drive (AWD): Sends power to both the front and rear axles, enhancing traction and response in challenging weather and road conditions. AWD systems are always active and will automatically switch between two-wheel drive and all-wheel drive whenever a low-traction condition is detected.

The Sprinter AWD system delivers torque-on-demand, giving drivers more responsive steering and improved maneuverability on and off Orange County-area roads. The ground clearance, approach, departure, and breakover angle are the same as the previous Sprinter 4x4 system, but with the Sprinter AWD electric multi-plate clutch, there is no need to manually switch to all-wheel drive. Under normal driving conditions, your Sprinter will operate with rear-wheel drive and seamlessly transition to all-wheel drive when enhanced torque is needed.
