The advantages of front-wheel drive cars are:
1. Increased internal space: Front-wheel drive cars have no drive shaft, so there is more room for space utilization.
2. Low cost and high efficiency: The components are few and concentrated, and due to the direct power transmission, losses are reduced and the operation efficiency is higher.
3. Reduce weight: Front-wheel drive vehicles have few and simple mechanical components, so they can reduce a lot of weight.
