Which cars are best for all weather: luxury ranking

Drivers want to choose a quality vehicle that will reliably last for many years, regardless of the weather or road conditions. Some of the best vehicles for all-weather driving are all-wheel drive (AWD) vehicles.

Vehicles with all-wheel drive tend to have better traction for more reliable handling, making them a smart choice for bad roads or winter icy conditions. Experts have released a ranking of autos that have comfortable handling and advanced safety features for a reliable ride.

Nissan Altima

The 2024 Nissan Altima is available with the option of all-wheel drive. It is reliable and provides excellent handling for cars in this price range. It also has a responsive braking system and 19-inch wheels that can handle even slippery roads. While it may not be the sportiest or fastest car, it's still a good choice for all-weather driving. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) gave this vehicle 5 out of 5 stars for overall safety.

Kia EV6

The 2024 Kia EV6 in either all-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive is a reliable electric vehicle that performs well in most weather conditions. The NHTSA gave the all-wheel-drive model 5 out of 5 stars for overall safety. It's not the cheapest car, but the potential savings are worth considering: the rear-wheel-drive model gets up to 500 miles on a single charge, while the all-wheel-drive model gets about 400 miles.

Ford F-150

The Ford F-150 2024 can withstand a variety of weather and road conditions. The vehicle is available with rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. The Ford F-150 has a snow mode option that provides better traction and stability on slippery surfaces. One particular option to consider is the Tremor. It has 33-inch all-terrain tires and upgraded suspension. You can also opt for a 10-speed automatic transmission, though this will increase the base price to $51,200.

Honda CR-V

If you're looking for a reliable vehicle for everyday use, check out the latest Honda CR-V model. This crossover SUV is available with both all-wheel drive and front-wheel drive, so it can handle a variety of road and weather conditions.

There is also a hybrid option that can increase mileage and save you money on gasoline.
