AWD vs. FWD - What’s Right for You?

At Briggs Buick GMC of Manhattan, we know choosing your next Buick is about more than style and comfort. One key decision is whether to go with All-Wheel Drive (AWD) or Front-Wheel Drive (FWD). AWD automatically delivers power to all four wheels when needed, giving you better traction and stability in rain, snow, or uneven terrain. FWD, on the other hand, sends power only to the front wheels, which often results in better fuel efficiency, lower maintenance, and a more affordable purchase price. Buick offers both options across its lineup. The Envision comes standard with AWD, the Encore GX and Enclave offer FWD with available AWD, and the Envista is offered exclusively in FWD. The right choice depends on your lifestyle. If you often drive in challenging weather or on rougher roads, AWD provides added confidence. If most of your driving is on city streets or highways, FWD may be the more efficient and cost-effective choice. At Briggs Buick GMC of Manhattan, we’re here to help you weigh the benefits of each and find the Buick that fits your needs. Stop by for a test drive and see the difference for yourself.
