In the field of SUV models, there is a unique four-wheel drive system that has attracted much attention, and it is called S-AWC (Super All Wheel Control). This system plays a special role on a transverse 4WD platform and is unique compared to other 4WD systems.
Let's review the infrastructure of the S-AWC system. It adopts a transverse four-wheel drive platform, which realizes a transverse four-wheel drive structure through components such as power take-offs, transmission shafts, and limited-slip differentials under the characteristics of low manufacturing cost and high center of gravity. Compared to the longitudinal four-wheel drive system, the transverse four-wheel drive mainly operates in the front-wheel drive mode, but through the role of the torque manager, power can be transmitted to the four wheels when needed, improving the stability and handling of the vehicle.
By comparing the four-wheel drive systems of different models, we found that the vehicles of the GM series, such as the Encore, Trailblazer, and Cadillac XT6, as well as the Haval Big Dog and Jeep Liberty Light Flagship Edition, all use transverse four-wheel drive platforms. One of the models has attracted more attention, and that is the old model of the Jeep Liberty Light Flagship Edition.
Based on the transverse all-wheel drive platform, this model has been cleverly designed to introduce a differential lock on the rear axle, so that the rear wheels on both sides can always output the same rev and torque. This design makes the Jeep Liberty Flagship ideal for a true light off-road vehicle. The "torque amplification gear" in its transverse four-wheel drive platform gives this car a unique advantage in off-road performance, and the maximum torque can be amplified by 292 times, further improving cross-country ability.
For models using the S-AWC system, such as the Outlander, its power performance has been questioned somewhat. 1.Although the annotated parameters of the 5T engine are excellent, the actual maximum net power available is relatively low, which raises concerns about its power performance. At the same time, the performance of the continuously variable transmission has also become an obvious groove point of the system, making Outlander face some competitive pressure in the SUV market.
Judging from the overall trend, models with strong off-road capabilities such as Jeep Liberty Light Flagship and Haval Big Dog have emerged in the SUV market, while some models using the S-AWC system still have some deficiencies in off-road performance despite some innovations on the transverse four-wheel drive platform.
This also reflects the importance of off-road performance in the automotive market, and consumers are paying more attention to the performance of vehicles in various complex driving conditions. In this field, the successful experience of models such as the Jeep Liberty Light Flagship Edition provides useful reference for other manufacturers.
In the ever-evolving automotive market, off-road performance is just one of the many factors consumers consider when choosing a car. With the continuous progress of science and technology, elements such as electrification and intelligence are gradually integrated into all aspects of automobile manufacturing. There is also growing consumer demand for greener, smarter and safer products, which will drive the automotive industry towards a more holistic direction.
For the improvement of the S-AWC system and the transverse 4WD platform, manufacturers may conduct more research and innovation in the future. With the increase in demand for new energy vehicles, the design of the four-wheel drive system will also better adapt to the special needs of electric vehicles and improve the comprehensive performance of the whole vehicle.
As for the successful experience of off-road star models such as the Jeep Liberty Light Flagship Edition, other manufacturers may add more off-road features to their product designs to meet the diverse needs of the market. In the new round of technology competition, manufacturers will continue to strive to provide better and more innovative automotive products.
The competition in the automotive market will become more intense, and the continuous evolution of technology will push the entire industry into a new era of development. Whether it is traditional off-road performance or emerging technology applications, it will become the goal that manufacturers continue to pursue. Consumers will have more choices and more opportunities to find the ideal model that meets their individual needs in this diversified market. Let's wait and see what the automotive world of the future will look like.
