Nissan Altima 2020 - AWD Platinum /// @ $38k

Spending $1350 extra for the occasional traction boost brought on by all-wheel drive is a smart move if you regularly encounter snow-covered roads during your winter drives. In fact, it’s only slightly more expensive than a good set of snow tires.

The Altima’s AWD sends power exclusively to the front wheels during highway cruising or low-speed driving over dry pavement. The system will send as much as 50 percent of engine torque to the rear axle to maintain momentum and improve stability once slippage is detected.
