Thanks to its Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system, the Subaru Impreza is a winter driving icon. Unlike many part-time systems, Subaru's AWD operates full-time, ensuring all four wheels receive power for enhanced traction in snow and ice. This system provides a stable and balanced ride, complemented by the Impreza's low centre of gravity for improved handling on slippery roads.
Pre-owned Impreza models often include features such as heated seats, remote start, and Subaru's EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology, which offers adaptive cruise control and pre-collision braking. Combined with its fuel-efficient engine, the Impreza is economical and reliable for winter.
The Audi Q5 is equipped with the renowned Quattro AWD system, refined over decades. In newer models, the Quattro Ultra system enhances efficiency by disconnecting the rear wheels when AWD isn't needed and re-engaging them instantaneously when required. This ensures optimal traction without sacrificing fuel economy.
Inside, the Q5 offers a luxurious cabin with advanced comfort features such as heated leather seats, a heated steering wheel, and a cutting-edge infotainment system with smartphone integration. Its robust climate control system and available panoramic sunroof add to the overall comfort for winter.
The Ford Escape is a compact SUV with an Intelligent AWD system designed to monitor road conditions and adjust power distribution between the front and rear wheels for maximum traction. This makes it an excellent choice for unpredictable winter weather.
Pre-owned Escape models often include features like heated front seats, dual-zone climate control, and Ford's SYNC® infotainment system, ensuring connectivity and comfort during colder months. With its reliable performance and spacious interior, the Escape is well-suited for daily commutes and weekend getaways.
The Chevrolet Trailblazer features an advanced AWD system with selectable drive modes, including a Snow mode designed for icy and slippery conditions. This compact SUV offers confidence-inspiring control even in severe weather.
Inside, the Trailblazer provides plenty of amenities, including remote start, heated seats, and advanced safety features like lane-keeping assist and forward collision warning. Its compact size makes it easy to maneuver in snowy urban settings, while its elevated driving position improves visibility.
The Hyundai Tucson is another excellent choice for winter driving. Its HTRAC AWD system continuously adjusts power distribution to ensure optimal grip on snowy or icy roads. The system's responsiveness enhances both stability and fuel efficiency.
Pre-owned Tucson models often have comfort-focused features like heated front and rear seats, a heated steering wheel, and a remote start system. Its spacious interior and user-friendly infotainment system make it a practical option for families braving Ontario winters.
The Toyota RAV4's Dynamic Torque Control AWD system monitors road conditions and sends power where needed, ensuring reliable traction in winter weather. The hybrid models offer the same AWD capabilities with improved fuel economy, making them cost-effective.
Known for its durability and low maintenance costs, the RAV4 includes features like heated seats, dual-zone climate control, and Toyota Safety Sense™ technology, offering lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, and pre-collision detection.
The Volkswagen Tiguan features 4MOTION AWD, which adjusts real-time power distribution between the front and rear wheels, improving stability on slick roads. This system is beneficial for navigating unplowed streets or icy highways.
The Tiguan's refined interior features heated seats, a digital cockpit, and advanced connectivity options. Its spacious cargo area and fold-flat rear seats make it versatile for winter gear.
The Nissan Rogue boasts an Intelligent AWD system that automatically adapts to changing road conditions, enhancing grip and stability in winter weather. Its smooth power delivery and efficient drivetrain make it a reliable option for Ontario winters.
Comfort and convenience are central to the Rogue's appeal, with available features like heated front and rear seats, remote start, and NissanConnect® infotainment. Pre-owned models often include ProPILOT Assist, a semi-autonomous driving feature that adds an extra layer of safety during long winter drives.
The Ford Explorer's Intelligent 4WD system is designed to tackle challenging winter conditions easily. It includes drive modes such as Snow/Gravel, which optimize traction for snowy terrain.
The Explorer's spacious interior and three rows of seating make it an excellent choice for larger families. Heated and ventilated seats, a heated steering wheel, and Ford's advanced SYNC® 3 system are common features in pre-owned models, providing comfort and connectivity for winter adventures.
The Kia Sorento offers a dependable Dynamax™ AWD system that monitors traction and adjusts power delivery to maintain control on slippery surfaces. Its well-tuned suspension ensures a smooth ride, even on snow-covered roads.
Inside, the Sorento offers a range of features designed for winter comfort, including heated seats, remote start, and advanced safety technologies like blind-spot monitoring and lane-keeping assist. Its spacious interior and reliability make it a versatile and dependable winter companion.
