How Subaru's symmetrical all-wheel drive enhances traction

Subaru's Symmetrical AWD system actively distributes power to all four wheels, enhancing traction and handling across various surfaces. The system, commonly the Active Torque Split with CVTs, uses a multi-plate clutch pack for a 60/40 front-to-rear torque split, continuously adjusting power based on wheel traction data. While effective and always engaged, Subaru's brake-based torque vectoring can lead to increased brake wear and slightly lower fuel economy compared to some part-time AWD systems.
