Answer 1

AWD is permanently on and distributes power differently depending on the situation, and is better in conditions such as snow, ice, paved roads and higher speeds

4WD is able to be toggled and provides the same amount of power to each wheel, such as 25% to each tire, and is better for lower speed rugged terrain , such as rock crawling, mud, slippery inclines, or pulling weight
