Generation 7? No, it should be getting the new generation 5 Haldex.

Read it is some random article about Geneva motorshow

This is the clutch unit: BorgWarner call it eAWD

The articule didn't mention its electric cars only

Doubt Octy would get that, in pure electric form it doesn't need a propshaft as it has an electric motor to do the driving, though the article does say there is a mechanical drive type version available. I would think it will have the Gen 4 like the Yeti or the later Gen 5, which looking at the specs on the BorgWarner site doesn't seem to be an advance.
