What is the difference between 4x4 and AWD?

Both drive all four wheels. A 4x4 (or 4WD) is built for rough ground and usually lets you choose when to engage it, often with low-range gears for steep, slow climbs. All-wheel drive works on its own, sending power where the grip is on wet or loose roads, and is rarely meant for serious off-roading. Both count here; each car's page says which it has.
