The real issue is where is the weight and what is the feel during normal driving. A BMW xDrive distributes 40% front/ 60% rear on a normal basis. Mazda's system in the CX-5 (new generation) is up to 100% front wheel drive and distributes power based on sensor data distributing torque front to rear only. There is no left to right torque vectoring, though it will brake a slipping wheel versus a non slipping wheel on any axle.This is true but how much does the latter platform distribute power to the front when cornering? The former sends up to 50% to the rear.
I have not seen an exact normal and max power distribution front to rear for the CX-90 (60, 70,80), only various test sites saying that "most of the power is sent to the rear wheels" on a normal basis. I would assume they are using the same type of system as the front drivers but in reverse only driving the front wheels when necessary.
