according to chatgpt: BYD Sealion 7 AWD Performance in Thailand, both axles are driven, meaning the front and rear wheels can receive power. It has two electric motors: 160 kW/310 Nm at the front and 230 kW/380 Nm at the rear, for a combined 390 kW and 690 Nm. BYD officially describes it as All-Wheel Drive (AWD). The important distinction is: It is not a traditional permanent 4×4 system with a mechanical connection between the front and rear axles. The two axles are controlled electronically via the two electric motors. Depending on the driving situation, the system can distribute power mainly to the rear wheels or to both axles. During relaxed, normal driving, the front motor does not necessarily have to operate continuously at significant power. During hard acceleration, heavy loads, low traction, cornering, or slippery conditions, the front motor can be activated or used more heavily. The system can change the torque distribution very quickly and continuously. The Thai model also features iTAC (Intelligent Torque Adaption Control). In short: 👉 “AWD” does not mean that the Sealion 7 permanently sends 25% of the power to each wheel. 👉 Both motors are available at all times, but the electronics decide how much torque the front and rear axles receive at any given moment.
