Best Cars for Snow in 2024
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Selecting a car in areas of the country that experience annual snowfall requires a different level of scrutiny than when buying anywhere else. All-wheel or four-wheel drive won't hurt to have, but there are other elements to consider as well. Here are some of the best vehicles for wintery weather, as well as the practices that earn them this honor. #KBB

Any vehicle can handle it. It all comes to the tires that you put on. If you run cheap all season on a vehicle that has AWD/4WD vehicle vs a fwd/rwd vehicle with winter tires or all weather tires, the car with winter/all weather tires will handle and stop better than the vehicle with cheap all season tires. The AWD/4wd vehicle will go faster on a stand still, but what's more important is handling and braking. And trust me, I know because I have an Accord with all weather Crossclimate 2 tires and I've passed a lot of SUVs that were struggling in the snow because they're running all season tires.
These are the best kind of cars with in snow (along with proper tires- Winter tires are the best): 1. Anything with a true torque vectoring AWD system- Acura SH_AWD, some versions of Audi Quattro 2. Subarus 3. Genuine 4WD trucks/SUVs which have a selectable Hi/Low and the ground clearance for deep snow.

Michelin CrossClimate 2s year round if you don't want to change tires! They're amazing in snow and dry with 60K mile warranty.

Most people don't have the money to change them out yearly, guaranteed. And even if they did, they'd forget or be too lazy to have it done.
I stopped watching when he said 4wd is the same as awd.wow!

“Best” vehicle I have driven in the snow was a Miata. By “best” I mean hilariously fun. Probably, not what they were talking about.

Thank you for this comment 😂. And yes I gave you the upvote.
Winter tires, AWD and ground clearance. It's why I got a OBW as a winter car. We don't get lots of snow so the OBW's trail/winter rated are good enough.

What, exactly, is an "OBW"??
What was this video about? Cuz I watched it and I don't know
Interesting how you said "AWD and 4wd is the same thing" but then spend 5 mins how they're different.
Great video!
wait wait..... four wheel drive speaks to the presence of a transfer case giving users the ability to control the differentials and the locking features like 4 high and 4 low .....that is very different than the all wheel drive system found in a CR-V you have no control over those differentials or any true locking feature..even I know this
Best car or best tires?
Generally speaking 4wd and awd are different. A lot of 4wd systems give the driver the ability to put their vehicle in 2wd when they want and there are different forms of 2wd they can choose. Awd is awd all the time. Really shocked that pretty simple and universally known fact wasn't presented in this video..."best cars for snow in 2024" might be the biggest click bait title of all time

Yeah but what you’re saying is untrue. I’m pretty sure many modern AWD systems have a clutch in the transfer case to disconnect the front or rear wheels. That being said proper 4WD with a locked centre, front and rear axle would obviously be the best in extremely traction limited situation.

@@DMSparky what % of awd systems allow the driver to put their vehicle in 2wd? I've never heard of that. That is a 4wd feature. What you're explaining is a electronically activated system. Aka out of the drivers control. That was the entire point of my comment

KBB is starting to lose credibility just like Consumer Reports. AWD and 4WD are not “basically the same”.

@@Loachie90 AWD typically describes systems on car-based vehicles that can send power to front or rear when they detect slip with no real input from driver. There is no low-range gearing for off-roading. 4WD refers to mostly truck-based vehicles that have selectable settings for part-time 4WD which fixes torque at higher speeds and low range gearing for low speed off-roading. The only sometimes confusing part is that a number of truck models have a 4WD system as described that also has an automatic setting for on-road driving.

Subarus are not all 50/50. Mine is a 45%front and 55% rear. Most of the family cars subaru has are actually 60 front and 40 rear. Yes they are awd all the time but they are not 50/50. Comeone kbb do your research
Subarus would be the best winter vehicles if only they would offer heated steering wheels on all trims.

Ummm…I think Audi would argue they are definitely the best winter vehicles.
Just because manufacturers use the terms incorrectly, doesn't mean you should as well. They aren't the same. You explained the difference right after saying they are the same.
Winter tires are cheaper but I'm too lazy to switch out tires every year that's why I have AWD

Newer all-season tires have made some big advances in winter traction. Check out the Michelin CrossClimate 2 if you can stomach the price.

AWD is not a good substitute for proper tires. It’ll raise its ugly head when you least expect it and from then on you’ll regret not having fit the proper tire for the job.
