I had the AWD CX-5 out on twisty icy roads this week. I pushed the corners hard enough to get four wheel drift and the vehicle remained very balanced and composed. Just drifted wide with no drama. Easing onto the gas lightly helped tighten the corner and any switching of torque bias between front and rear was transparent.
I haven't been in any deep stuff yet but it's obviously going to be really good with the AWD, generous ground clearance and smooth under body. The car is good in the slippery stuff because of how balanced the handling is.
