2023 X1 Xdrive back wheel skid

Had anyone with an X1 with Xdrive noticed when cornering that sometimes the back wheels feel like they are skidding and the back end is swinging too far?

A neighbor's friend is a "car person" (works at a competing German mfg dealership) and noted to me yesterday that the X1 Xdrive AWD isn't truly AWD, that it's biased 60/40 toward the back wheels. Is this correct?

I really notice this skidding sensation (and feel very uncomfortable) on wet road conditions, like when the pavement is newly wet from rain. Though it happened to me when making a sharp turn on bone dry pavement last week.

It came up because I was blaming the tires and asked the neighbor's friend for tire advice. Her advice to me was to go test drive an Audi Q3 with the larger engine (228HP) to compare.
