One of the best cars for snow is the Land Rover Defender, which is equipped with an all-drive system and advanced off-road technology. It offers 296-395 horsepower, traction control system, a high ground clearance of 8.6 inches, and electronic stability control.

Use the second gear (for manual transmission) or a low gear (for automatic) when the road surface is slippery. Starting with the first gear or D may cause great force to be suddenly applied to the wheels, resulting in tire spinning. On an icy surface, to maximize the friction of the tires start gently with a low gear.

Conclusion. If you're looking for a strong mode of transportation when the winter weather hits, a truck might be the right option for you. With its heavy weight, high ground clearance, large tires and drive systems, you'll be well prepared for the slippery snow and ice.

So, to drive on these slippery surfaces, traction is crucial. All-wheel-drive systems deliver power to all four wheels at the same time, or they automatically engage torque to all four wheels when needed. That's why all-wheel drive is best for driving on snowy and icy roads.
