There was a youtube video I watched comparing all the AWD's and the Kluger was a fail when you have the front wheels on a slippery surface, They had them on rollers and it went nowhere, Suburu had no problem passing the test. Very hard to get info on the AWD system on a kluger. I have tried and found nothing, I bought an AWD Kluger because I thought it would be good in that sort of situation but it's useless.
