As a long-time Landwind owner, I've driven the Xiaoyao for three years. It's true the entire lineup is front-wheel drive, with no four-wheel-drive version even for the top trim. The manufacturer positioned it as an urban SUV from the start, pairing a 1.5T engine with CVT transmission for smoothness and fuel efficiency. While its ground clearance is higher than sedans, it's certainly not enough for serious off-roading. I remember its 2018 launch focused heavily on crossover styling and internet-connected features. It does come with hill descent control though, and sport mode can handle ordinary rough roads. For real off-road adventures, you're better off looking at their X8 model from their off-road heritage lineup.

Last year, I thoroughly researched this model when helping my cousin pick a used car. The Landwind XIAOYAO comes in five configurations, ranging from manual transmission to the CVT flagship version, all featuring a front-engine, front-wheel-drive powertrain layout. Its part-time four-wheel-drive system only appeared on early concept cars and was likely canceled in mass production due to cost and positioning considerations. The chassis uses a unibody structure with a torsion beam rear suspension, hardware that confirms its urban commuting nature. If you're looking for a domestic coupe SUV with four-wheel drive in this price range, you might want to check out the Geely Xingyue.

From a technical architecture perspective, the Xiaoyao's GF platform is derived from the older Ford EcoSport, which inherently does not support the drivetrain layout for a four-wheel-drive system. The standard 1.5GTDI engine is transversely mounted, with the transmission output shaft directly driving the front wheels. The official technical manual clearly specifies the drive configuration as FWD. Although a concept car with a 4WD badge on the rear was showcased at an auto show, the production version has never offered a four-wheel-drive option. For those in need of 4WD, it is advisable to consider the top-tier version of the Landwind X7.
