Used SUVs for Winter Driving
Winter-Ready SUV Features
Auto High-Beam Headlights
Auto high beams are important for visibility while driving in the winter time, especially since it gets dark earlier in the day. When a sensor detects the light of nearby vehicles, this turns high beams off when it detects headlights or tail lights.
AWD or 4WD
Some may think all-wheel drive and four-wheel drive are one in the same. All-wheel drive functions with little to no driver input, generally like forward-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive vehicles until the use of all four wheels is needed.
On the other hand, 4WD sends power to all four wheels but also creates a lock between the front and rear axles, keeping the axle speed the same. This then reduces wheel spin when traction is low – perfect for wintery conditions – and prevents your vehicle from being able to corner as well when it’s in 2WD.
Emergency Communication System
An emergency communication system can be incredibly useful when stuck in severe winter weather like deep snow, or if your vehicle’s battery dies due to the cold.
Forward Collision Warning
This technology uses cameras, sensors and lasers to detect hazards, including stopped vehicles on the road. Some variations also incorporate emergency braking which uses the anti-lock braking system to stop the car, which can be helpful on slippery roads.
Heated Seats
While more of a luxury than a necessity, heated seats can help enhance your experience by providing a cozier temperature for both the driver and passengers.
