 
When navigating through roads filled with snow, slush and ice, it's important to have as much traction as possible. While there are a variety of factors to consider when choosing a vehicle that's winter-ready, all-wheel-drive or four-wheel-drive should be a priority.
AWD vs FWD
AWD systems deliver power to all four wheels at the same time, or automatically engage torque to all four wheels when it's required. As you can imagine, this is essential for maintaining traction on slippery surfaces, making all-wheel drive an important part of winter driving.
Four-wheel drive can be very useful and possibly even better than AWD in deeper snow or more extreme winter weather like a snowdrift or icy hill. If you live in an area that isn't plowed as frequently, 4WD may be the better choice, however, all-wheel drive can be the way to go if you live somewhere like the city.
