Although seldom used in the automotive field compared to the turbocharger, it nevertheless has some advantages over the turbocharger. Let's see how it works and examine the differences between driving a turbocharged and supercharged car. If you have regularly followed our automotive blog, you will have noticed that we have already talked about turbocharging systems several times.

Here we are again talking about a beautiful multi-purpose sports car, the Golf 8 (CD), which apparently does as well in the city as on the road or the track. It runs on one of the many variants of the 2-liter turbo gasoline already employed on other VWs and Audis.

You get a mighty sound even at low revs and while idling to feel the presence of the engine to the fullest and with the possibility to manage the exhaust valves in automatic mode (standard management operated by the Audi ECU) or in manual mode (EVC-SPORT® frees up all the exhaust ducts) at any time and from the comfort of the steering wheel.

This PROCEED 1.6 GT was quite a surprise. We were not used to sporty KIAs, and this one is certainly sporty in many ways. Not only because of the engine, which we will talk about in a moment, but the trim, wheels, and brakes have also been completely revised to match the character and true performance.

There are 4WD, AWD, 4Matic, 4drive, and others, but what do these acronyms mean? They all essentially mean the same thing, namely all-wheel drive, but these types of powertrains are not all the same. Let's take a look at how they differ and how they perform!
