A final drive for a road vehicle comprises a pinion gear (10) on a pinion axle (4) journaled in a housing (11), the pinion gear being in gear engagement with a crown gear (12) journaled for rotation transversely to the pinion axle (4). The final drive is combined with an all wheel drive (AWD) coupling, comprising a disc package (2) axially controlled by a hydraulic piston (5) for optionally transmitting torque from an ingoing axle (3) to the pinion axle (4) as well as a disc drum (2A) or similar means for rotatably connecting the disc package (2) to the pinion axle. The ingoing axle (3) of the AWD coupling is radially journaled only by the pinion axle (4) in the final drive.
