I'm planning to buy a 2020 Equinox 2.0 Turbo AWD next year. We currently have two second gen, V6, AWD Equinoxes that have been completely trouble free. Those second gen Equinoxes have a Haldex based AWD system. My understanding is that the third gens use a different AWD system. What I like about my current cars is that power is sent to the rear every time the car starts from a standstill. Does anyone know if the new AWD system on the 3rd gen works the same way? I realize that with the 3rd gen cars an " AWD button" needs to be pushed to activate the AWD, otherwise it's just FWD. So assuming the AWD is activated, is there power to the rear from a dead stop, and how much of the torque can be sent to the rear? At what speed does the rear drive back off?
You folks are a wealth of technical knowledge here, so I would like your input if you know about the new AWD system. Unlike Mazda and Toyota and a few others, Chevrolet doesn't advertise their AWD system and not much info seems to be available. So if you have knowledge, please chime in.
Thanks in advance for any input.
