Unlike many of its rivals in the electric SUV segment, the XEV 9e Pack Three has rear wheel drive (RWD). The low center of gravity from the battery pack promises a more engaging driving experience with this RWD layout. It makes you wonder, how does this affect handling, traction in different weather conditions, and overall performance feel? Those drivers who are after more sporty dynamics, and perhaps more balanced weight distribution, may like those aspects, while those who are concerned about traction in slippery conditions, or the learning curve for those accustomed to driving front wheel drive vehicles, may have some reservations. However, the debate persists over whether an SUV is the proper vehicle for RWD and how this affects how practical and safe the car is.
