What is ALLLLLLLL of the update from the LS to the XLS ?

Also that S-AWD compare to my normal 4WD from my LS how does it work ? with that front and rear diff ?

 

S-AWC basically add a progressive lockable diff on front axle. On the older model the front diff is open and the transfer is only done front to rear.

Here is a collection of links about S-AWC

So technically if i was stock on the snow, jack up,

Front Left and Front Right ( will spin together )
Center diff will lock front and back together
One tire at the back will spin ?

no locking diff in the back ?

 

No, this basically a front drive vehicle with a much better AWC, but a front drive nevertheless. Just like the one you have has a Front drive option on the ****.

I included a diagram of both differential.

Download the Powerpoint file and you will get a better understanding.

If you don't have MS Office then Free Office or Libre Office will work and both are free just Google the names to find the sites

 

S-AWC is not FWD-only even in Tarmac mode.

 

Outlander's S-AWC is biased to the front of the vehicle leaving the rear like the standard AWC contrary to the EVO that has a RWD bias.

S-AWC in the Outlander is always Front AND Rear but the proportion is different between Tarmac, Snow and Lock.

Just the front gets the benefit of yaw control.
