January has arrived with cold and snow in many parts of our geography. And we already know that the snow, or the ice that forms afterwards, makes driving difficult due to the lack of grip. And if tires are important at this time of year, no mechanical element or device provides as much security as all-wheel drive, also called integral or 4×4.
Running out of traction is one of the most unpleasant – and dangerous – sensations one can experience behind the wheel of a car. For this reason, all-wheel drive or 4×4 provides extra security that many users appreciate. Although not all drivers know that there are four-wheel drive vehicles that are really affordable.
Nor should we associate 4×4 traction with expensive and heavy cars as was the case a few years ago. And although many current vehicles incorporate driving aids capable of managing acceleration smoothly to promote motor skills, 4×4 traction is still the best option when driving on slippery surfaces, whether snow, ice or even wet asphalt. .
