Types Of Suv Four Wheel Drive In Australia

Australia is one of the last wild frontiers in the world so travelling through the countryside requires a quality four wheel drive vehicle

. With the right vehicle, people can not only overcome most obstacles, they can also tow recreational equipment virtually anywhere on and off road.

The Challenger is a new four wheel drive model available from Mitsubishi and is equipped to handle any terrain. The Challenger comes equipped with a 2.5L turbo diesel engine and a towing capacity of 3 tonnes, which makes it ideal for towing recreational equipment. The Challengers suspension is an independent double wishbone coil spring in the front and a 3-link coil spring in the rear making it ideal for all types of terrain.

Available from Nissan, the Patrol is an excellent choice for off road adventures with its 4.8 litre petrol engine and optional 3.0 litre turbo diesel engine. For supreme performance, the Patrol is capable of operating as a 2WD while travelling on level ground and can be switched into 4WD if the landscape becomes difficult. With a dual range transfer gearbox and a limited slip differential the Patrol is more than capable of handling any driving conditions it encounters.

Jeep has been in the business of building four wheel drive vehicles for over 69 years, and the Grand Cherokee is one of the latest models available. The Grand Cherokee has two 4WD systems available, the first being the Quadra-Trac II which uses sensors to detect if the tyres slip so it can send the appropriate amount of power to the wheels. The Quadra-Drive II makes use of the same technology as the Quadra-Trac II; however, it also incorporates an Electronic Limited-slip Differential in the rear that detects tyre slips and distributes power accordingly to the wheels that need it.

Toyotas FJ Cruiser is among the best off road 4WD SUV vehicles on the market today thanks to its large tires and increased ground clearance. Toyota designed the FJ Cruiser with a part time four wheel drive system which is engaged by pressing a button on the dashboard. Further enhancing the Cruisers off road capabilities is a 36 inch angle of approach which makes it ideal for climbing over all types of obstacles.

By combining luxury with magnificent off road capabilities, the Land Rover Freelander 2 is a force to be reckoned with. The Land Rover Freelander 2 has an approach angle of 31 degrees, which is combined with a front axle clearance of 210mm and a rear axle clearance of 265mm, allowing it to overcome many types of obstacles. Along with the clearance and approach angle an independent suspension provides exceptional handling while travelling through all types of terrain.

Car manufacturers all over the world continue to improve on existing SUV designs by making use of the latest technology available and implementing the changes into new models. Some of the technology being implemented includes improved stabilization technologies which work to ensure the driver does not lose control regardless of terrain or driving style.
