What is the difference between quattro and all-wheel drive in Audi vehicles?

I am considering buying an Audi but I am confused about the different types of drivetrains they offer. Can someone explain the difference between quattro and all-wheel drive and which one would be better for me?

Quattro is a type of all-wheel drive specific to Audi vehicles and is designed to continuously distribute power to all four wheels for maximum traction and handling. All-wheel drive, on the other hand, is a generic term for any system that provides power to all four wheels, which can vary in design and capabilities.

In terms of performance, quattro is generally considered to be superior to traditional all-wheel drive systems. Quattro offers improved handling, cornering, and acceleration, making it a great option for both everyday driving and more dynamic driving situations.
