Its available 2.4-L turbo engine makes 260 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque—that’s more than enough tohit the trail with confidence. The combination of all-wheel drive, all-terrain tires, and a specialist snow/ice driving mode makes handling a breeze even when the weather is blustering.t. Heated front seats are included in the standard model, with dual-zone automatic climate control and a heated steering wheel to keep you cozy and comfortable, no matter where your winter journeys take you.
Volvo XC40
The Volvo XC40 is a luxury compact SUV that can master wintry conditions with its turbocharged engine feeding 247 horsepower to all-wheel drive, and a ground clearance of over 21 cm to keep you above the snow drifts. The spacious interior can hold up to 1,328 L of cargo, and if that's not enough to carry all your gear, the maximum towing capacity of 1,600 kg is ample for hauling camping equipment, dirt bikes, and more. As you'd expect from a luxury SUV, interior features (including heated seats and a heated steering wheel) make the XC40 an ideal choice for cold-weather driving.
