4 All-Wheel-Drive Toyotas That Can Stand Up to Winter

Toyota Sienna

The Toyota Sienna offers drivers peace of mind. The Sienna is the only minivan in its class with an AWD system. In addition to the smooth and safe drive, you will also enjoy the Safety Connect system. You won’t have to worry about getting stuck in the cold snow because this safety feature connects drivers to a 24/7 response system. The response system offers emergency and roadside assistance, automatic collision notification, and even a stolen vehicle locator. You can gain assurance, knowing the 2017 Toyota Sienna received the NHTSA 5-Star Overall Safety Rating.

Toyota Highlander

The Toyota Safety Sense (TSS-P) of the Highlander will make you feel even safer in winter driving conditions. The Highlander comes standard with a Pre-Collision System, Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Alert, and Steering Assist Setting. In addition to the AWD, drivers can also be confident about their drive with the advanced Star Safety System. The Highlander features enhanced stability control, traction control, an anti-lock brake system, electronic brake distribution, a brake assist, and a smart stop technology feature. With more safety than ever, the advanced airbag system comes with front seat-mounted airbags, driver knee airbags, and roll sensing airbags for all rows.

RAV4

The Toyota RAV4 is the newest model in the RAV line. With a completely innovated all-wheel drive system and torque control, you will find winter weather driving easier, thanks to optimal traction. The sport-tuned suspension system will improve your drive, even on the toughest of road conditions. With automated paddle shifters, you can feel comfortable with the safety features while also adding a little excitement to the drive. The blind spot monitor feature and rear cross-traffic alerts will help you with parking and reversing when your windows are frozen with ice. If you experience problems, this vehicle is covered under the Toyota Care program, which offers 24-hour roadside assistance.

RAV4 HYBRID

Whoever said you had to choose between economically efficient and winter safe? The unique RAV4 HYBRID design gives you the same advantages of the safe drive of a RAV4, but with advanced hybrid features. This vehicle boasts an exciting 194 net horsepower but is also equipped with AWD-I. This on-demand all-wheel-drive system with intelligence is specifically designed for added torque that gives you better traction and an electric motor that will make you feel safer on your drive. Drivers will also enjoy the dynamic radar cruise control. The vehicle keeps pace with your preset cruise speed but adjusts to the distance of nearby vehicles. A pre-collision warning system will also help when navigating those icy roads.

Make sure you’re ready for winter driving with any of these AWD vehicles. Schedule your test drive to see which one best fits your driving needs.
