  1. 1. Subaru Outback Like all the cars on our “best in snow” list, the midsize Subaru Outback comes with all-wheel-drive for superior traction on wet or snowy pavement and a higher-than-average (but still far from truck-like) ground clearance to help it plow through moderate drifts.

  2. 2. Subaru XV Crosstrek Introduced last year, the compact XV Crosstrek is to the Subaru Impreza sedan/hatchback what the Outback is to the Legacy. It likewise features a higher 8.7-inch ground clearance and broad-shouldered styling cues.

  3. 3. Volvo XC70 T6 AWD Like the Subarus in our list, the XC70 is an otherwise staid station wagon that’s gussied up to resemble an SUV, but it’s a noteworthy execution, with a tall 8.3-inch ground clearance.

  4. 4. Audi Allroad Yet another “pseudo SUV,” this is basically an Audi A4 Avant station wagon with a higher 7.1-inch ground clearance and more-rugged pretentions. A 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine puts a peppy 220 horsepower to the pavement via the automaker’s acclaimed “quattro” AWD system.

  5. 5. Toyota Sienna AWD This seven-passenger family friendly vehicle is the only minivan sold in the U.S. to offer optional AWD for added foul-weather prowess; with AWD its ground clearance is boosted to a generous 6.6 inches.

  6. 6. BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo xDrive Hatchback Gran Turismo versions are added to the compact 3 Series lineup for 2014, and come standard with the automaker’s sophisticated xDrive AWD system.

  7. 7. MINI Countryman ALL4S Arguably the most practical model in MINI’s expansive line of vehicular variations on a theme, the ALL4S version of the Countryman subcompact four-door wagon comes with a sprightly 181-horsepower four-cylinder engine and all-wheel-drive for added traction on wet or snowy roads, with a generous 5.9-inch ground clearance.

  8. 8. Subaru Legacy The midsize Legacy sedan is perennially popular in the Northeast and Northwest regions of the U.S. largely because of Subaru’s superior AWD system that helps it tackle the toughest winter conditions. As with the Outback wagon with which it shares platforms and components, the Legacy offers either of three slightly different AWD configurations depending on the engine and transmission combination.

  9. 9. Volvo S80 AWD Volvo’s flagship sedan is luxurious, roomy and comfortable, though it’s a bit stodgy compared to comparable models from other European luxury automakers. The T6 variants include all-wheel-drive and a turbocharged 3.0-liter 300-horsepower six-cylinder engine, with 5.9 inches of ground clearance.

  10. 10. Mercedes-Benz E-Class Sedan/Wagon 4Matic The top winter-busting models in Mercedes’ just-refreshed E-Class line include 4Matic AWD sedans and wagons with a choice of V6 or V8 engines or (sedan only) a fuel-efficient turbodiesel four-cylinder powerplant.

  11. 11. Subaru Impreza This compact sedan and four-door hatchback combo can handle the worst winter has to offer with Subaru’s sophisticated AWD system, which varies slightly depending upon which transmission the car’s 2.0-liter 148-horsepower four-cylinder engine is mated.

  12. 12. Acura TL SH-AWD This stylish and comfortable midsize luxury sedan is available with the automaker’s Super Handling All-Wheel-Drive (SH-AWD) system that improves both its traction on wet or snowy roads and its handling abilities on dry pavement.

  13. 13. Lexus GS 350 AWD Another midsize sports luxury sedan, the dynamically cast Lexus GS offers an optional AWD system that can vary the front-to-rear torque split from 50/50 to as much as 30/70 as necessary to maintain top traction; it boasts a 5.7-inch ground clearance.

  14. 14. BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo xDrive This is essentially a stylish four-door hatchback version of BMW’s 5 Series sedan that affects a coupe-like profile. It comes powered by either a 3.0-liter 300-horsepower turbocharged six-cylinder engine in the 535i or a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 with a galloping 445 horses in the 550i.
