Drive type | |||
| Wheel drive type: | 4x4 - AWD (all-wheel-drive) | Front wheel drive (FWD) | |
|
Volkswagen Golf has 4x4: Instead of a center differential, a viscous coupling is installed with a freewheel mechanism to disengage the driven axle during braking. Under normal driving conditions, 95% of the torque is transferred to the front axle. If slippage occurs, the coupling locks and up to nearly 100% of the torque is automatically transferred to the rear axle. If one front and one rear wheel lose traction, the car will not move. | |||
