Muyezo wakuzirwa chomene wa kugaŵira magalimoto ukuthemba pa unandi wa matayala ghakuyendeska, kugaŵa magalimoto mu vigaŵa viŵiri vikuru: viŵiri-matayala na ghanayi-matayala.
Mawilo ghaŵiri-
Viŵiri-mawilo ghakuyendeska ghangagaŵikaso mwakuyana na malo agho injini yili na malo agho ghakuyendeska matayala, kusazgapo kunthazi-injini kumanyuma-kuyendeska matayala (FR), kunthazi -injini kunthazi{{engini 4}}kuyendeska matayala (FF), kumbuyo -injini yakuyendeska (mi{6}}injini yakuyendeska (FF} kumanyuma-kuyendeska matayala (MR). Kunthazi-injini yakumanyuma-kuyendeska matayala kukugwiriskirika nchito chomene mu magalimoto ghaŵiri ghakufuma pamsewu na magalimoto gha sedan.
Kunthazi-injini kumanyuma-kuyendeska matayala (FR) ni nthowa yakuyendeska ya chikhalidwe. Mawilo gha kunthazi ndigho ghakwendeska galimoto, apo matayalo gha kumanyuma ghakwendeska galimoto yose. Mu nthowa iyi, nkhongono zose izo zikufuma mu injini zikuluta ku axle ya kumanyuma, ndipo zikupangiska kuti matayala gha kumanyuma ghalute panthazi. Mu mazgu ghanyake, matayala ya kumanyuma "ghakukankhira" matayala ya kunthazi, kusunkhunya galimoto panthazi.
Kuyananizga na ndondomeko zinyake ziŵiri- zakuyendeska matayala, kunthazi-injini kumanyuma-kuyendeska matayala kuli na vitumbiko vikuru. Para mukuyamba, kucimbira, panji kukwera pa msewu uwemi, nkhongono ya kukoka pa matayala ya galimoto yikukura, ndipo ivi vikupangiska kuti matayala ghakwendeska galimoto ghaŵe ghawemi comene kuluska matayala gha kunthazi-. Pa nyengo iyi, magalimoto agho ghali na injini ya kunthazi-, kunyuma -thayara -kuyendeska ghakuperekaso kukhazikika makora pakugwira ntchito na kukwera mwakusalala, ndipo ghakovwira kuti matayala ghakhale nyengo yitali. Kweniso, ndondomeko ya kunthazi-injini, kumanyuma-thayara -kuyendeska yikupangiska kuti injini, clutch, na transmission viŵe pafupi na galimoto ya dalayivara, ndipo ivi vikovwira kuti nthowa zakulongozgera galimoto ziŵe zipusu ndiposo umo dongosolo lakwendeska galimoto likupangikira, ntheura vikupangiska kuti galimoto yiŵe yipusu.
Kuyendeska matayala ghanayi-
Kweni, usange cilato cinu ca kugura galimoto ya off-road nchakuti muthereske mapopa na nkhalango zaunenesko, mbwenu lekani kuzerezga kugwiliskira nchito ndalama zakusazgikira na kusankha nthowa yakuyendeska matayala ghanayi--. Ici nchakuti nanga ni pa misewu yiwemi, magalimoto ghakukwendeska matayala ghaŵiri-ghakutelera pa sinowo panji pa malo ghakutelera, ndipo ghakutemwa chomene kukhweŵa somba para ghakuchimbira. Kuyendeska matayala ghanayi-kukanizga nkhani izi. Pa nyengo yeneyiyo, magesi ghanayi-ghakwendeska matayala ghali na nkhongono zakugwiriskira ncito makora comene za injini pakuyaniska na magesi ghaŵiri-ghakwendeska matayala, ndipo ghakukwaniska kukoka matayala ghawemi na nkhongono yakulongozgera. Pa nkhani ya kuvikilirika, vikuperekaso kukhazikika makora pakwendeska galimoto.
Four-wheel drive yikung'anamura kuti matayala ghose gha kunthazi na gha kumanyuma gha galimoto ghakugwira ntchito, ndipo nkhongono ya injini yingagaŵika ku matayala ghose mu vigaŵa vyakupambanapambana kuyana na umo msewu ukuŵira mwakupambanapambana kuti galimoto yiŵe na nkhongono zakwendeska makora. Kanandi vikulongoreka na 4x4 panji 4WD. Usange mwawona vimanyikwiro ivi pa galimoto, cikung’anamura kuti galimoto iyi yili na nkhongono zakuyendeska mawilo ghanayi-. Kale, four-wheel drive yikaŵa ya magalimoto ghakufuma ku msewu pera, ndipo pachokopachoko chinthu ichi chikamba kusangika mu magalimoto ghanyake ghapachanya-sedans na magalimoto ghapachanya gha maseŵero.
