If you're like a lot of our guests from the Huntsville area, you've been asking yourself this question a lot lately. A lot of drivers think that all-wheel drive is solely more costly, harder to maintain in the long-run, and solely reserved for Snow Belt States. However, as we've learned in recent weeks, Mother Nature likes to throw us curve balls from time to time here in Alabama. So, should you get a new Audi car equipped with quattro® all-wheel drive? At Audi Huntsville, we think you'll find that it has advantages even without unseasonably cold weather!
Now, given the unexpected winter storm we just experienced here in Alabama, it's easy to see how Audi quattro® all-wheel drive can be a boon to drivers in slippery conditions. By distributing power across all four wheels, a new Audi car equipped with quattro® all-wheel drive is less liable to slip and lose traction than a front-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive vehicle.
Better still, the Audi quattro® AWD system has been specifically engineered to deliver power to the wheels that have the most grip or traction on the open road. So, if one wheel begins to lose traction, the system automatically adjusts its power distribution to prevent slippage and correct understeer or oversteer. Needless to say, in icy and snowy conditions, this gives Audi quattro®-equipped vehicles a major edge in both driving dynamics and overall safety.
Of course, a lot of drivers will say that we've just experienced a once-in-a-lifetime storm and we're not likely to face conditions like this again. And whether or not that's the case, we think you'll find that driving with Audi quattro® all-wheel drive in perfect conditions can add quite a bit more fun to your daily commute. From delivering outstanding off-the-line power to allowing you to carve corners with accuracy and agility, Audi quattro® AWD can be truly transformative to your driving experience.
