I just read a comment from a former owner of Lexus NX300h AWD, the car which motor and gearbox configuration now is inherited into the new Rav4 Hybrid AWD.
He claimed that e.g. in winter conditions, being stuck in snow and having the front wheels spinning and even if the NX was AWD version, the fronwheels of the Lexus kept on spinning while the rear wheels refused to move at all!
Apparently (and this was his words), Lexus/toyota have made a setup meaning the rear wheels cannot start contributing from stand-still position and need to be in motion for activation.
Seriously? Is this even fair to be called AWD???
I have still one and a half month 'til I get my hands on my own Rav4 Hybrid (I know, Swedish lead times...) and I will surely try it out myself once i have the car in my possession, but for now...could anyone confirm or decline this statement?
