I currently have a 2016 Equinox with a Haldex AWD system that works well for my needs. I don't go rock crawling or even off road for that matter. The awd is mainly for peace of mind in snow. It has no torque vectoring. But to the best of my knowledge it starts up from a standstill with some power to the rear wheels up until some specified speed is reached. Then is activated if front wheel slippage is detected.
I understand that the new Equinoxes have a GKN system. In that vehicle there is no torque vectoring either, which I'm ok with. What I would like to know is if the GKN system also starts up from a standstill with the awd activated? The new Equinox has a button that has to be pushed for the AWD to work at all, but assuming that the button has been pushed, will some power be sent to the rear every time I start from a standstill?
Thanks for any help.
