That's not entirely accurate. In addition to lack of front grip, the system will push power to rear wheels solely under heavier throttle input at less than highway speeds. It can also go to 100% rear if conditions call for that, but very short-lived. At highway speeds, it's simply a FWD system. It is that way for economy as much as anything else. Smart system nonetheless.
