Traversing snowy roads is one of the biggest challenges faced by drivers. Slippery pavements can cause accidents while heavy snow can also affect road visibility. For vehicles that have not been winterized, their drivers also face the possibility of breakdowns and mishaps.
The Federal Highway Administration says it records an annual average of 1,300 road fatalities and 116,800 injuries because of vehicle crashes on snowy, slushy, and icy pavements.
Having the right vehicle can help keep you safe on the road even during extreme weather conditions such as heavy snowfall. Veteran Car Donations presents these six best-performing vehicles for winter weather as rated by U.S. News and World Report.
- 2020 Ram 1500
This truck offers a comfortable drive as you travel across the country in any weather. It can serve both as a working man’s truck or a luxury vehicle. The 2020 Ram 1500 has an open cargo bed behind the passenger cabin that can carry different loads for transport. It is the highest rating vehicle for winter weather. It comes with a choice of four engines, leather seating, real wood trim, air suspension, power running boards, a 12-inch touch screen, and wireless device charging. You also have the option of having heated seats to keep you warm during a long snowy drive.
- 2021 Kia Telluride
Like the Ram 1500, the Kia Telluride is a good all-weather vehicle. It boasts of a great design, a spacious interior, and a solid performance on driving and safety tests. For an additional price, you can opt for heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, rain-sensing wipers, a surround-view camera, automatic high-beam headlights, and up to six USB ports throughout the cabin.
- 2021 Mazda 3
The Mazda 3 may not look like an all-terrain or all-weather vehicle, but you can option your roadster to an all-wheel drive, giving it more traction on the road to address worries about on-road slips and other mishaps. You also have the option of having your car fitted with additional features such as blind-spot monitoring, AppleCar Play, Android Auto, dual-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, a moonroof, and a head-up display.
- 2019 Audi A4 Allroad
The Audi A4 Allroad offers a 248-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder engine. It is equipped with Audi’s Quattro all-wheel-drive, a standard feature that guarantees a smooth driving experience. The car offers reliability and elegance with its sleek style and luxurious interior. You can get even more comfortable inside the vehicle when you add on specialized features for winter driving.
- 2021 Honda CRV
The Honda CRV is the perfect SUV to drive through the snow with its spacious interior and cargo space and its wide array of safety features. You can also add the all-wheel-drive feature, which is available on all trim levels, as well as heated front seats and steering wheel options for the EX trim.
- 2020 BMW 2
With its all-wheel-drive feature, a 335-horsepower turbocharged six-cylinder engine, wide legroom, and trunk space, this vehicle offers style, power, and comfort all in one.
