Considering Xi to help stabilize cornering on wet roads.
This is the worst rationalization of the Xi, because it doesn't work that way. If it would be the case, you can bet that all AMG/M-cars would have AWD standard.

AWD is more of a commodity item that will help acceleration at 9-10/10 opn wet. Useful when you don't want to stay stucked at very low-speed. This is essentially the only benefit of AWD. But it does NOTHING for safety.

I owned Subaru and Audi AWD.
