Yes but you have no choice other than maybe pulling a fuse. Most AWD systems, at least in budget cars, work like that, though often via a clutch or a viscous coupling or something rather than an electric motor. Premium cars get you torsen and other cool solutions.
Although also AWD vs 4WD are marketing terms and not strictly regulated.
4 wheel drive is selective meaning you can run in 2wd. AWD is you have no choice its always on.
Or in my case off until needed.
Car’s a hybrid so runs in FWD until it thinks you need the rear electric motors to keep you on the road then it’s AWD.
