Yes. In general. Though driving 55 mph on the highway with 4WD will use less than driving 75 mph on 2WD.
Four wheel drive vehicles usually tend to be in the SUV or light truck class, although All Wheel Drive - which transfers power to the remaining wheels when a drive wheel loses traction - is a more often used system on passenger cars.
Economy and other smaller cars are more commonly front wheel drive. Light/medium duty trucks, luxury cars, SUVs, et. al. are more commonly rear wheel drive.
A four wheel drive vehicle can carry more passengers and cargo.
The more wheels you have driving the vehicle the more likely you won't get stuck.
Please be more specific.
A four wheel drive vehicle can carry more passengers and cargo.
No a four wheel drive vehicle will be more ro ugh on the road, it is good for rough roads mainly.
Most of them actually have front wheel drive, but more and more new ones are coming with all wheel drive (not necessarily quite the same thing as 4 wheel drive or 4X4). Some people also like to customize their vans and retrofit them with 4X4 chassis.
4 Wheel drive is better. It gives more road surface selection to get the most traction four wheel drive because 4 is better than 2 hands down but front wheel drive is better than rear wheel drive
Many causes and different for front wheel drive and rear wheel drive cars. It's hard to say without more detailed information.
Four wheel drive or 4 by 4 are vehicles that have a drivetrain and are more commonly thought of as off road vehicles. Four wheel drives can drive over difficult terrains. Examples are the Mazda CX5, Mini Cooper S Countryman and Sabaru XV Crosstrek.
The power is being routed to either the front or the rears. I believe that the front wheel drive is more commuter car friendly and the rear wheel drive leans a little toward sporty/performance based cars.
