Subaru has the ability to direct torque to individual wheels, I think using the awd system combined with the brake system based on what their website says. Their torque split is generally either 50:50 or 45:55, depending on the model.

I live in Alaska, so I get the ability to drive it on glare-ice, wet snow, packed snow, freezing rain, etc. In subaru's system, all wheels turn, all the time, at least that's what it feels like. I also drive several AWD vehicles at work. I generally don't find the Xdrive to be better than anything there. I did have a mercedes 4motion from 2004-5 a few years back, that was significantly better and more balanced than my current X-drive. Much more neutral handling, felt like much more even torque distribution all the time, much closer to Subaru.
