Comparison information required. - 4x4, AWD, AllGrip, AllRoad, what's the difference? 12 Nov 2015 (Forum)
Must not forget the Torque Biasing differentials, as well as the old clutch style Limited Slip. I know of the centre differential viscous coupling used by the 1990's Land Rovers, but I've heard of Haldex systems, without understanding the detail, and there are probably others. Apparently overlaid on any '4WD' system there is Traction Control, where a fast spinning wheel is braked, but I think the requirement is for automatic best traction and grip in normal driving, rather than recovering from a 'stuck' situation. -

Lexus, Toyota, GM, others - Hybrids - good to drive? how about 2nd hand 24 Jan 2014 (Forum)
I would also consider a non hybrid solution, such a good diesel (e.g. Audi A4 2.0 Tdi), or a small(ish) petrol, but I currently drive Jag S Type V6 3.0, so small buzzy petrol won't float my boat, and my experience this week put me off a diesel with stop/start. Probably asking the impossible (tin hat on) -
