2WD mode, winter tyres and and a good bit of welly are more than enough to see the X-Trail scrabble up surprisingly steep, gravel slopes. On saying that, most users won’t actually need the AWD system. Add to this all-wheel drive and you’ve got a car that’s happy to get its hands dirty - making it a great choice for winter weather.
It’s basically a beefed-up Qashqai - it shares the same platform, but is noticeably taller and longer than its relation. Whether you’re looking for a competent 5-seater, a practical 7-seater, or just a great car for dogs, the Nissan X-Trail Station Wagon has plenty for everyone.
#BEST CARS FOR SNOW UPGRADE#
Upgrade again to the middle of the range ‘comfort’ or ‘prestige’ trims and you’ll get a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment screen, though it's nowhere near as bright and easy to use as the one you’d find on the Volkswagen T-Roc. You’ll need to pay extra for the ‘Essential’ trim which will get you a fairly basic stereo. There are plenty of hard, scratchy plastics on the dash and the entry level-model will leave you wondering exactly how it is possible to manufacture a car so bereft of technology. This Dacia is exceptionally affordable and packs a lot more space than many of its competitors, with plenty of boot space - just don’t be expecting the kind of top-class interiors that you’d get from an Audi or Mercedes. The Dacia Duster is a cheap and cheerful alternative for those that don’t have the budget for a Range Rover. It’s not the most practical for families or long-distances, but if you don’t need to worry about filling the back seats and you like your cars compact then this might be the winter-warrior for you.Įntry level trim is totally stripped back, though higher trim levels aren’t particularly exciting either. Because of its taller body, there’s enough headroom in the front and rear seats for adults to get comfy, though people in the back seat might want a little more leg space for the longer journeys. It’s not got a particularly high tech cabin, but you should have no trouble getting comfortable inside. While it won’t be taking on any rocky crags or river valleys any time soon, it should be more than enough to get you through the winter months. It’s a compact city car that will make short work of the odd cross-country jaunt thanks to its all-wheel drive and off-road tyres. While a docile, bamboo-munching Panda may not seem like an appropriate namesake for a rugged off roader, we can assure you, the Panda 4x4 by Fiat is more than up to the challenge.

They might be a bit of a squeeze for adults but if you ever need to come to the rescue on the school run they should do just fine. Unlike many of its rivals, the Discovery Sport also offers a third row of seats. The 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system is bright and colourful and if you decide to upgrade to the SE model you’ll be able to swap out the analogue binnacle for a digital display behind the steering wheel, making a drive with satellite navigation an absolute doddle. Depending on which trim you opt for, you can get fabric seats and padded upholstery or leather throughout. While off-road capability feels like an afterthought in many compact SUVs, the Land Rover Discovery Sport should have no trouble scrambling up slippery slopes and ploughing through piles of snow.Īs you’d expect from Land Rover (and a car of this price), the Discovery Sport manages to meld its battle-hardened exterior with an altogether more plush and palatial interior. The Land Rover Discovery Sport is a solid choice if you’re looking for something as strong as it is sumptuous.
