An example of a Jaguar front-engine, all-wheel-drive layout where the rear output shaft of a transmission goes on to power a center transfer case, which splits power to separate front and rear axle differentials. While this powertrain is full-time all-wheel-drive, part-time 4-wheel-drive vehicles use this same basic layout – varying only in differential function.
