Evoque, is it really a 4x4?

(21-12-2015 03:30pm)XFullFatTim Wrote:  Sorry Donny bbut Evoque and FFreelannder2/Disco Sport apart from ED4 are permanently 4WD, 95% of the drive is sent to the front wheels and 5% to the rears ALL THE TIME, the split is variable continuously depending on grip and can be 95% drive to the rear wheels and 5% to the front if necessary. Also with torque vectoring and TC the pwoer could be sent all to one wheel, front or rear! But the car does always have all 4 wheels driven all of the time (unless you have a 2014MY on Si4 or a 2015MY diesel that has the active drive system option).

Yes, I accept that (I did say that 95% was to the front which therefore means that 5% goes to the rear) but the car is, in this state, which it is during all normal driving conditions, effectively front wheel drive rather than conventional fixed four-wheel drive.

I was about to change my evo for a defender, but no need to. my landrover dealer confirmed my evo is
in permanent 4 wheel drive. bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

So long as 5% of the power going to the back keeps you happy...........
