You really can't draw any conclusions unless you account for the different types and sizes of the tires. A rusty Yugo with 4 new skinny snow tires will always have better traction in the snow than any X5, CRV or Caddy with wide summer/all season tires.

Electronics and AWD can only make the most of the available traction. If you don't have the proper tires to increase the available traction in the first place there is nothing to work with.

I live in a hilly area and I get great performance in the snow and ice with my Hakkapeliitta snow tires.
