Afraid to drive out on a snowy day? These 3 four-wheel drive SUVs will make you fearless in winter ice and snow!

With the advent of winter snowfall, several friends in Faner’s circle of friends have had accidents due to snowy and icy roads, causing vehicles to slip and cause accidents. The two-wheel drive vehicles that usually travel safely have been affected by the ice and snow. The days are like walking on thin ice. ?

Then at a price of around 250,000, if you buy one of these cars, no matter how heavy the snow is, you can have a good time in the snow.

Nissan Patrol

▼

The Patrol has become the dream car of many off-road players due to its strong off-road capabilities and non-load-bearing body. Although its younger brother Tuda does not have the abnormal off-road capabilities of Patrol, it can still easily cope with complex roads in the city. ?

The same non-load-bearing body has the help of an electronically controlled part-time four-wheel drive system, so that even if a single tire slips, it can be detected instantly through the electronic system, even on non-paved roads. When on the road, by switching the driving mode, the rear axle is locked to help negotiate complex road conditions.

The 2.5-liter naturally aspirated engine has a maximum output of 193 horsepower and a peak torque of 245 Nm. The transmission is the same 7AT from Patrol. At low speeds, the linear power of the self-priming engine is output, making it easier to control the accelerator pedal. ? For such an SUV that focuses on off-roading, the interior is much shabby compared to urban SUVs. Although the soft plastics are not high-end, they do not feel cheap to the touch. ?

With a body size of 4882/1850/1835mm and a wheelbase of 2850mm, the rear space can also meet daily use, and as a four-wheel drive model, the height of the center platform is also within an acceptable range. . However, since the chassis is from the same model as the Navara, the comfort during daily driving is not as comfortable as expected.

Volkswagen Tanyue

▼ The Tanyue is equipped with BorgWarner's 4?Motion four-wheel drive system. The center differential is controlled by an electronically controlled multi-plate clutch, and the limited slip between the wheels is It is completed with the assistance of the electronic system. The power distribution is 95:5 in normal mode and 50:50 in extreme mode. The off-road performance is completely inferior to that of Tuda.

But it is a waste of time. For the icy and snowy roads in the city, the four-wheel drive system is paired with the snow mode. This "fool-like" operation makes the concept of using a car in the city more convenient. ?

The Volkswagen ancestral assembly of the 2.0?T?+?7DCT has experienced many years of experience under Volkswagen, and has good performance in terms of power response and fuel economy. The independent suspension system with MacPherson struts at the front and multi-link at the rear makes it perform very well on road driving. ?

However, the smaller body size and wheelbase make Tanyue's ride performance average. The legroom will be passable, but the headroom is not suitable for taller rear passengers. Not so friendly.

Toyota RAV4 Rongfang

▼

The newly updated Rongfang not only ushered in new appearance changes, but also added a hybrid system , allowing this 1.8-ton SUV to not only ensure power output, but also have good fuel economy. ? And the addition of the motor not only increases the power, but also gives this SUV an electric four-wheel drive form. The rear axle does not rely on the transmission shaft to obtain power, but is driven by the rear axle motor, so there is no need for a differential. Locked, limited slip differential.

And because the motor can instantly burst out the maximum torque, in a sense, the electric four-wheel drive system has better ability to get out of trouble than the traditional mechanical four-wheel drive.

But! Faner does not recommend that you use RAV4 for off-roading. After all, the uncertainty of the electronic control system makes it not suitable for off-roading. However, in rainy and snowy weather on urban roads, there is still no problem walking on paved roads.

Although we have recommended several cars, in the final analysis, the simplest and most direct way to improve your car is to replace it with a set of winter tires before the real snow comes. , as for front-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive car owners, it is better to drive as little as possible in ice and snow weather. After all, there are thousands of roads, and safety is the first priority.
