Best Vehicles for Snow

It won’t be long now until the fluffy white stuff covers the ground. That’s right, snow. Between November and April, there are an average of 14.5 days of snow every year. What does that mean for you? You need a vehicle that can handle year-round travel. That includes several months where the temperatures are cold, roads are icy, and it’s snowing. But don’t worry, we’ll help you find one of the best vehicles for snow.

Five Vehicles that Handle Snowy Weather Well

 

Honda CR-V

A best-seller in the United States, the Honda CR-V is a great performer on snow and ice. Two great four-cylinder engines are available in this easy-driving compact SUV, as well as Real-Time All Wheel Drive. The CR-V adapts to road conditions, giving you optimal traction on snow, ice, or dry roads.

Acura MDX

One of the premium choices in SUVs is also one of the best vehicles for snow. The Acura MDX is fantastic for families with comfortable seating for seven in three rows and has an incredibly powerful 290-hp 3.5-liter V6 engine. With standard heated seats and available Super Handling All Wheel Drive, the MDX will get you through in all road conditions.

Toyota RAV4

It doesn’t take much to see why the Toyota RAV4 is so popular in Missouri. With great approach and departure angles, good ground clearance, an efficient four-cylinder gas engine, and an impressive hybrid option, the RAV4 is surprisingly versatile and capable. Add AWD and you’re set for all seasons.

Jeep Wrangler

Want a full-on 4WD vehicle this winter? The Jeep Wrangler should be high on your list. It has that rugged Jeep look along with interior options you need. But what really sets it apart is its Trail Rated 4WD system that can handle more than just snow and ice, but rock crawling and off-roading too.

Subaru Outback

The Subaru Outback comes standard with Symmetrical AWD, one of the highest rated AWD systems on the market today. In addition to all-wheel drive, the Subaru Outback is packed with safety features and available driver-assistive systems to make it a great winter-driving choice.
