Saw a summary of this in this morning's paper. A collection of
automotive journalists got together to "review" a cross section of 21
vehicles. 9 were either EVs or hybrid, the rest were "sport utility
vehicles" (no mention about drive train).
Granted, they were all 2026 models, but it caught my attention that the
winner of the "Best under $50K" was the 2026 Solterra XT.

This video shows the only connection between the front & rear is the
electrical cord. There is no shaft. The small hump makes room for the
rather large cable.

It says dual motor. So I presume one for each axel and then the
front and rear are connected via the typical Subaru center slip
type of coupling thingy.

I don’t know enough about EVs to understand how AWD would work. Do
they still have differentials, or just a motor at each wheel?

The Car & Driver review was not exactly glowing, but it seems
competent enough; especially if you were (mostly) happy with the Leaf.
