TFL’s Top 10 Best Cars for Driving in Snow, 2017-2018
It’s dumping snow in Denver this morning, which means it’s a good day to breakdown TFL’s list of the best cars and crossovers that can handle frozen roads, snow drifts, and ice. As TFL’s Nathan and Andre explain in the TFLnow video below, our criteria is based on a vehicle’s performance on Goldmine Hill, a steep trail of loose rock and off-camber turns that will challenge any vehicle’s all-wheel-drive system. In more than four years of testing vehicles on the trail, TFL has found that any thing that conquers Goldmine Hill will dominate in snowy conditions.
You can check out the video for Nathan and Andre’s complete breakdown of the vehicles and how they performed. But if you just want the list, here we go.
