Whether that system is AWD or 4WD is a rabbit hole
Just so long as it doesn't handle like an Audi - zero steering feedback and massive understeer. I will reserve judgement til the reviews start coming in, but so far we've only seen this system used in massive boats and SUVs where people weren't expecting much.
