It's generally better since the forces are spread out over a larger area, twice as much than that of a two wheel drive. Tyres make a big difference though, better to have chunky ones for the snow to allow more grip. It's generally a good idea not to go out in the snow though unless you really need to.
Yes, all wheel drive is fantastic handling in the snow.
Yes, along with good tires.
yes, it prevents sliding A four wheel drive (4wd) as opposed to an all wheel drive (AWD) is good in snow, mud, and higher elevations. (For example, Jeep 4x4) AWD is good for paved roads and mild conditions.
I would say front wheel drive
While Camaros are powerful sports cars, they are not specifically designed for driving in snow or icy conditions. Their rear-wheel drive setup can make them more challenging to maneuver in snowy weather compared to vehicles with all-wheel drive or front-wheel drive. It's recommended to exercise caution and use appropriate winter tires if driving a Camaro in snow.
It's advantageous in being a front wheel drive car, though, like front wheel drive cars are prone to doing on slick surfaces, it is prone to fishtailing. If you have good tires and know how to drive in snow, you should be alright with it. If not, then there really isn't a good that'll transform you from a poor driver in snow to an excellent one.
I live in montana and we get some serious snow. I have a 98 Pontiac grand am and it does well since its a front wheel drive.
Both the old and the new Beetles will handle snow well due to them both having the engines over the drive wheels. Front wheel drive cars (new Beetles) and rear engine rear wheel drive cars (classic Beetles) have excellent traction in rain and snow. Getting a good tire will help either of these cars in ice and snow, get a good ice and snow rated tire.
Mercedes Benz cars are rear-wheel drive, which isn't very good for driving in snowy or rainy conditions. The performance can be improved, however, with choosing a snow tire or a model that has the option of 4-wheel drive.
A SUV is better to commute in snow because of its 4 wheel drive, and it is easier to put chains on. The 4 wheel drive will give you better traction in the snow.
you will probably get a lot of Torque steer
It is .Most cars are with the exception of sports cars. The idea is that they handle better in the snow or low traction environments.
