What does 4WD mean for the Kia Sorento?

I am thinking about purchasing a Kia Sorento and noticed that it has the option for 4WD. What exactly does that mean and how does it affect the performance and handling of the vehicle?

Sophia, 4WD stands for four-wheel drive and it means that all four wheels of the Kia Sorento will receive power from the engine. This can be very beneficial for traction and stability, especially in rough weather conditions or on off-road terrain.

Sophia, with 4WD you will have better control of your vehicle in snowy or muddy roads. It distributes power evenly to all four wheels, giving you more grip and stability.

4WD can also help with towing and hauling heavy loads. It gives the vehicle more power and traction, making it easier to handle heavier weights.

Sophia, keep in mind that 4WD requires more maintenance than a regular two-wheel drive. Make sure to regularly check and change the fluid levels and have the system inspected for proper functioning.
