Don't buy a full time 4x4. This just means you cant turn 4 wheel drive off. Go with AWD if possible. some suggestions would be an Subaru outback, and most crossovers.
Variant can mean a lot of things, awd, 4 door, convertible, off road, high performance, commercial.
Simply put...you don't. They are always awd.
4WD is better in my opinion. I'f you don't know the difference it is that 4WD is were you have the option of engaging the 4WD feature whenever. AWD is common among more luxuriated "off road vehicles" and when the tires lose traction a computer within the vehicle will activate the AWD feature to re-gain traction.
AnswerFor the First Generation Murano there are 2 AWD lights, one that says AWD and one that says AWD LOCK. if the AWD Light is on, Then you have a Problem in the AWD System, if the AWD LOCK light is on, then your AWD is stuck on on, or you just have to turn it off.
Yes, it is advertised as an off road capable car.
Probably the Bugatti Veyron or Murcielago Lamborghini
Yes.
Big Boys Playground in Harrisonburg allows off-road go-karts, like the Hammerhead GTS-150.
On my '97, by turning the swith to "off-road" it only lifts the whole truck up a few inches (turn it to off-road and get out of it while running, you'll see.) I asked around what the difference between AWD and 4x4 and I was told that in our trucks the power ratio during normal operation is about 10% front and 90% rear. When the rear tires start to slip, like while off-roading, the transfer case just lets loose the power to the front. Supposedly there is a clutch in there, rather than a 4x4 high motor and a 4x4 low.
Deeper grooves improve traction for off road use but are noisy when on road use.
