I have a Trophy & have noticed that on the status screen on the cluster in front of the driver that shows the tyre pressures & power train.
Tyre pressures all work fine but have noticed that the power is mainly highlighting blue on the rear 99% & about 1% if that on the front wheels, Whether slow acceleration or quick.
& the regen is only highlighting green on rear drive train.
Anyone else noticed this?
I was under the impression all four wheels would be powered !
Also on the cluster screens on the centre console, the status screen shows front left wheel/drive highlighted in red/brown colour the other three wheels are in blue !
 
Good afternoon, in comfort mode you'll use rear-wheel drive 99% of the time, and in sport mode you'll always use all-wheel drive.

What you see in red may be a lack of tire pressure.

The Trophy is rear wheel drive only, the GT is AWD.

So the rear wheels only lighting up for power is right.

Regen only occurs on the rear wheels, regardless of edition.

In my "GT" in comfort mode the car is indeed rear wheel drive only. I have however observed the drive graphic with the front wheels illuminating blue briefly. This seems to occur when there is a momentary loss of traction in the rear. Thus "maybe" the response is for the front motor to participated only until rear traction is restored. I never see any power from the front motor under all other conditions. To be fair I don't feel any difference when the front motor highlights briefly in this case. Perhaps the Trophy with a single rear motor under the same circumstances of temporary lost traction in the rear sends the signal to the front to participate. But,,,,,no front motor exists so I guess its a lazy software leftover that wasn't corrected for the rear drive only cars. Certainly not the only software oversight. But,,,,,thats just my guess. 🤷‍♂️ :)
