  We present a full kinematic analysis of neutrino-nucleus charged current
quasielastic interactions based on the Local Fermi Gas model and the Random
PhaseApproximation. The model was implemented in the NEUT Monte Carlo
framework, which allows us to investigate potentially measurable observables,
including hadron distributions. We compare the predictions simultaneously to
the most recent T2K and MINERvA charged current (CC) inclusive, CC0$\pi$ and
transverse kinematic-imbalance variable results. We pursuit a microscopic
interpretation of the relevant reaction mechanisms, with the aim of achieving
in neutrino oscillation experiments a correct reconstruction of the incoming
neutrino kinematics, free of conceptual biasses. Such study is of the utmost
importance for the ambitious experimental program which is underway to
precisely determine neutrino properties, test the three-generation paradigm,
establish the order of mass eigenstates and investigate leptonic CP violation.
