Have 2012 AWD caddy. The manual says tractive effort is distributed to all wheels all the time and is proportioned depending on traction needs of each wheel.
In practice I find it extremely stable in all conditions. Wet or snow, unless I manually diengage traction and stabilty control, l have never felt tire spin in snowy or icy conditions. All of which we have plenty in western PA.
Mind you if traction control is enabled and stomp on gas in dry or wet condition, the thing cuts ignition around 4K rpm and feels like it is going to stall, it does not, just feels like it when acceleration is instantly slowed. Red line is at 7+K rpm.
