Choosing between RWD and AWD in REHIGH RH6 or RH8 changes much more than the wheels receiving power. According to the supplied brochures, it changes motor output, torque, published driving range and a number of chassis, braking, cockpit and comfort features.
THE RWD CONFIGURATION
Both RH6 and RH8 RWD versions are listed at 250 kW and 400 Nm.
The RH8 brochure describes its RWD configuration as a single-motor rear-drive system.
Rear-wheel drive places propulsion at the rear axle. In the context of the supplied REHIGH specifications, it is also the configuration with the higher published range.
THE AWD CONFIGURATION
Both AWD versions are listed at 500 kW and 750 Nm.
The RH8 brochure describes this system as dual motors with electric four-wheel drive.
Compared with the RWD specification, the AWD figures represent twice the listed motor power and substantially more torque.
HOW RANGE CHANGES
RH6:
RWD — 810 km CLTC / 570 km WLTP
AWD — 720 km CLTC / 500 km WLTP
RH8:
RWD — 710 km CLTC / 500 km WLTP
AWD — 645 km CLTC / 445 km WLTP
The brochures therefore show a clear trade-off: the higher-output AWD configuration carries lower standardized range figures.
CHASSIS DIFFERENCES
Both RWD and AWD configurations list front double-wishbone and rear multi-link independent suspension with Intelligent CDC.
The AWD versions additionally list high-performance intelligent air suspension.
BRAKING DIFFERENCES
RWD versions list ventilated front and rear brake discs and four-piston front fixed calipers.
AWD versions list large Brembo ventilated discs and Brembo racing-class four-piston front fixed calipers.
Bosch iBooster intelligent line-controlled braking, electronic power steering, EPB and Auto Hold are listed across both configurations.
ADDITIONAL AWD EQUIPMENT
The brochures list selected technologies specifically on AWD versions. These include Night Vision System and Driver Monitoring System. Face recognition is also listed on AWD.
Other AWD-specific comfort or exterior features include an intelligent fragrance device, chamois-leather ceiling, intelligent dimming canopy, silent electric suction doors and intelligent sensor doors.
Availability must be confirmed for Egypt-market vehicles before publication.
RWD OR AWD: THE DECISION
A customer considering RWD may prioritize the higher published range figures and the 250 kW / 400 Nm configuration.
A customer considering AWD may prioritize the 500 kW / 750 Nm output and the additional chassis, braking and selected premium technologies listed in the brochure.
Neither drivetrain should be described as universally superior. The correct choice depends on the customer’s priorities.
