Best Cars for Snow in 2024

[@miguelbaeza65]

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.

[@ImDembe]

Crossclimate 2 is sold as a summer tire in Scandinavia, not even sure it would be legal to have them on in a snowy winter.

[@MrNemo721]

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.

[@KingKong-]

& 4motion......that too is awesome........VW, Volvo, land rover etc...

[@michaelhintz6187]

Winter tires, winter tires, winter tires.

[@sk-un5jq]

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

[@greeneyedwarlock882]

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.

[@TheBoston2004]

I stopped watching when he said 4wd is the same as awd.wow!

[@vernonensminger8710]

AMEN

[@SSS-mp8th]

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.

[@HarryKuloh]

No one knows what OWB is. On body wankster?

[@greeneyedwarlock882]

What, exactly, is an "OBW"??

[@zzdipsetanazz]

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

[@DMSparky]

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.

[@zzdipsetanazz]

​@@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

[@pipeeeeees]

It’s not that deep, man

[@james32371]

@@zzdipsetanazzall gm SUVs and crossovers let you put it in 2WD.

[@zzdipsetanazz]

@@james32371 then technically its not just an AWD system. They call it "switchable AWD." Aka 4WD...

[@Jorge_Magallon]

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

[@No_idea_what_to_put]

Thank you for this comment 😂. And yes I gave you the upvote.

[@CalvinHikes]

What was this video about? Cuz I watched it and I don't know

[@Minusroot8]

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

[@Loachie90]

Can you please explain?

[@MercenaryJoe]

Jeep has entered the chat: All Jeeps are labeled as 4WD even those that other manufacturers would label as AWD

[@jamesthompson7924]

@@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.

[@jalmonte91]

This is how bull rap starts, they followed by saying EXACTLY the difference between AWD and 4WD, you are a lame

[@K_patts8370]

People can look up the information, we don’t need to believe what you type!! We don’t need to believe this video! GOOGLE es GRATIS!!😂🤦🏾‍♀️

[@michaelgilliar56]

Interesting how you said "AWD and 4wd is the same thing" but then spend 5 mins how they're different.

[@rnwnsfla]

You did not mentioned which car is the best for snow.

[@CalvinHikes]

In fairness they didn't really mention much of anything.

[@incediery]

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

[@6565hopepy]

Best car or best tires?

[@PresidentJackBauer]

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.

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Great video!

[@ChristopherFrydryck]

AWD does not equal 4WD. AWD uses a differential and can corner better around a bend since the inner wheel can spin at a different speed than the outer wheel. 4WD uses a transfer case and sends even/equal power to all the wheels. It is worse around bends but better off-road since if a wheel were to go off the ground in an AWD vehicle, the car would send power to the wheel off the ground instead of the wheel that is on the ground.

[@chanmaung]

Nice Camry for the Mazada broll.

[@charleshamilton9274]

What the hell is a “Mazada?” And, what the hell is a “broll?” #notfromaroundhere

[@Hallowsaw]

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

[@0HOON0]

Subarus would be the best winter vehicles if only they would offer heated steering wheels on all trims.

[@charleshamilton9274]

Ummm…I think Audi would argue they are definitely the best winter vehicles.

[@sportsMike87]

Winter tires are cheaper but I'm too lazy to switch out tires every year that's why I have AWD

[@0HOON0]

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

[@ALMX5DP]

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.

[@ejohnson3131]

I like Bridgestone WeatherPeaks. You can drive them year round.

[@TheSungod17]
