Top Cars for Winter Driving

If you live in one of the snowy places in the country, you’ll need a vehicle that’s ideal for all-season driving. It should be able to sit high off the ground and endure the extreme cold elements. Of course, you’ll want to look for one that has great heating features, too.

The best cars for snowy weather are those that provide a sense of security when you’re driving even on the harshest winter days. The question is, what might these models be? Here are some of 2021’s best vehicles for snowy places as listed in the U.S. News & World Report.

1. 2020 Ram 1500

With a refined interior, great fuel economy, and a stellar tow rating, the Ram is a top pick for drivers who reside in chilly places. Its ride quality and rear-seat legroom are features that make it a strong contender in the full-size pickup truck class. You’ll be even more impressed with the truck’s leather seating, real wood trim, wireless device charging, power running boards, and 12-inch touch screen.

The Ram is available in rear- and all-wheel drive format, along with a choice of four engines. It provides an option for heated seats, which is just perfect for winter.

2. 2020 Mazda3

The Mazda3 is a phenomenal well-rounded compact car that’s easy and fun to drive. Whether you go for the sedan or hatchback, you’ll be getting yourself an agile car with responsive braking and steering plus a peppy engine. Its outstanding performance and high-end interior help it stand out in a highly competitive segment.

Unlike its main rivals the Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic, the Mazda3 can be purchased with an all-wheel drive. The ride remains comfortable even over rough surfaces. It can also easily balance accelerative force and fuel economy, thanks to its 186-hp cylinder. For its comfort and safety features, the small car offers dual-zone automatic climate control, blind-spot monitoring, a  moonroof, heated front seats, and a head-up display, which is especially useful when you want to focus on a slippery road without shifting your eyes to the infotainment screen or dashboard.

3. 2020 Ford Ranger

The 2020 Ford Ranger pretty much has everything you’re looking for in a small truck — a powerful turbocharged engine, good fuel economy, high towing and hauling capabilities, and plenty of high-tech features, including a user-friendly infotainment system. While its cabin may appear dated with the not-so-appealing quality of its materials, the Ranger’s comfortable front and rear seats may just make up for them.

The truck is a standard rear-wheel drive, but a four-wheel-drive can still be added to all trims. Among the numerous features that make it one of the most superb picks for winter driving are its underbody skid plates, heated seats, crawl control, terrain management system, off-road tuned suspension, and a locking rear differential.

4. 2021 Kia Telluride

With an upscale interior, a vast cargo hold, and an airy seating space that can hold up to 8 passengers, the 2021 Kia Telluride is worth your money. The three-row SUV is convenient and relaxing to drive, no matter what the weather is. Its refined V6 engine also gives you that extra boost of confidence.

In terms of adding an all-wheel drive, it only costs an additional $2,000 on all trim levels, which is not that bad. Other add-ons that can entice you to buy the Telluride would be its heated steering wheel, heated and ventilated front seats, automatic high-beam headlights, a surround-view camera, rain-sensing wipers, and six USB ports throughout the cabin.

5. 2021 Subaru Outback

You can count on the 2021 Subaru Outback to help you get through a super snowy day. It provides a comfy and smooth ride, proficient off-road capabilities, a cabin filled with high-quality materials, and plenty of cargo space. It is one of the few vehicles in the wagon segments that come with standard all-wheel drive.

What’s more, the Outback has 7 different trim levels to choose from, all of which are ideal for navigating winter weather. Some of its other standard features include hill-descent control, 8.7-inches of ground clearance, and X-Mode for off-pavement adventures.
