Salesman acts out drivetrains

A salesman at an Auckland dealership has got creative and active to help explain the difference between front-wheel drive (FWD), rear-wheel drive (RWD) and all-wheel drive (AWD) to consumers.

Sam Seruwooza, who works at Manukau Hyundai, decided to perform a physical interpretation of the different drivetrains for any potential buyers who might struggle to understand the array of abbreviations in information packs for new models.

In a hilarious video shared on social media this month by Seruwooza and his employees, he can be seen dragging himself across the showroom floor with his arms to explain FWD.

Next, he only uses his legs to propel himself forwards as he demonstrates a human version of RWD.

The final act involves Seruwooza scampering across the screen using his arms and legs, which of course represents AWD.
