On the flip side if it uses the same transfer case as the current Countryman, RUN FOR THE HILLS! Quickly!
It will have Haldex, like the Countryman AWD, so it will remain fwd until slip is detected, just like the CLA45. I gather VW has exclusive rights to the latest generation of Haldex which does send constant power to the rear wheels (albeit an undisclosed and relatively low amount).
