What\u2019s the difference between AWD and 4WD?<\/span> <\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Before we get into it, let\u2019s look at the difference between AWD (all-wheel drive) and 4WD (four-wheel drive. AWD is always active and gives power to all four wheels automatically as needed. 4WD systems can be turned on and off by the driver, and when they\u2019re on, they turn both the front and rear axles at the same pace, delivering power to all four wheels like an AWD system. 4WD systems have a bigger advantage off-road.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2024 Ford Bronco Sport standard drive type<\/span> <\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The 2024 Ford Bronco Sport comes standard with 4×4 on all trim levels. This type of drivetrain is perfect for off-roading because it allows for more traction on uneven surfaces and prevents slipping and wheel spinning. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2024 Ford Bronco Sport Badlands \u00ae drive type<\/span> <\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Badlands model is the most off-road-ready trim level. Like all the trim levels, it offers a 4×4 drive system. Unlike the other models, the Badlands model has an advanced 4×4 system with a twin-clutch rear drive unit. This system allows power to be delivered to a single rear wheel for more traction when the other three wheels have no traction. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do I need a vehicle with a 4×4 system?<\/span> <\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We recommend a 4×4 drive system if you\u2019re the type to frequently drive off paved roads. This type of drivetrain can help on uneven gravel roads, over rocks, and on bumpy dirt trails. A 4×4 system usually isn\u2019t engaged on normal paved roads, but off-road is where it really shines. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAQ: Is the Ford Bronco Sport AWD or 4WD? | Sherwood Ford \u2013 Sherwood Park, AB<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

Q: Does the Ford Bronco Sport have AWD or 4WD?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A: Every trim level of the 2024 Ford Bronco Sport comes standard with a 4×4 drivetrain, making it one of the few small SUVs in its class to offer rugged off-road capability right out of the gate. While often mistaken for AWD, the Bronco Sport\u2019s system is true four-wheel drive with enhanced off-road functionality\u2014especially in the Badlands model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: What\u2019s the difference between 4WD and AWD in the Ford Bronco Sport?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A: Great question! AWD (All-Wheel Drive) automatically adjusts power between wheels and is designed more for slippery pavement or light snow. In contrast, the Bronco Sport\u2019s 4WD (Four-Wheel Drive) system can handle more demanding terrain. In Sherwood Park and surrounding Edmonton, this means better performance in rural areas, muddy access roads, and snow-packed backcountry trails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: What makes the Badlands trim different from other Bronco Sport models?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A: The 2024 Ford Bronco Sport Badlands is the most capable off-road trim. It comes equipped with an advanced 4×4 system featuring a twin-clutch rear drive unit, allowing torque to be directed to a single rear wheel when the others lose traction. If you’re exploring Alberta\u2019s rough trails or heading out toward the Rockies, the Badlands trim gives you serious confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: Do I need a 4×4 SUV for driving around Edmonton?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A: For city driving and highways, AWD can suffice. But if you live in a rural area, enjoy weekend trail adventures, or face snowy conditions, a Ford Bronco Sport with 4×4 is a smart investment. Around Edmonton, where winter conditions and gravel roads are common, the Bronco Sport\u2019s standard 4×4 system offers more peace of mind than typical AWD systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: Can I use the Ford Bronco Sport 4×4 system in winter?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A: Absolutely. While you won\u2019t always need to activate advanced drive modes, the Bronco Sport\u2019s 4×4 capability offers superior traction on icy, snow-covered roads compared to a two-wheel drive or even basic AWD vehicle. It\u2019s built for Alberta winters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: Which Ford Bronco Sport trim should I choose for the best drivetrain?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A: All trims come with standard 4×4, but the Badlands trim provides the most advanced drivetrain technology. If you prioritize trail driving, camping, or deep snow performance, the Badlands is worth a test drive. Sherwood Ford has a full selection available to explore right here in Sherwood Park, AB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: Where can I test drive a 4×4 Ford Bronco Sport near Edmonton?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
