Are MAZDA SUVs Good for Driving in the Snow?

Do you wish your vehicle could handle winter streets better? Mazda SUVs are the perfect option for driving in the snow. The Autobarn Mazda of Evanston is showcasing their many features that make them so skilled at winter driving.

i-ACTIV AWD®

New Mazda SUVs come equipped with i-ACTIV AWD®, an intelligent all-wheel drive system that’s an incredible tool for driving in the snow. It’s a sensor-based system that consistently monitors your driving conditions. When it senses wheel slippage, it will automatically redistribute power to the wheel(s) that can use it most, which helps you to remain stable in slick or icy conditions.

MAZDA Intelligent Drive Select

Mazda Intelligent Drive Select (Mi-Drive™) is another advanced feature in Mazda SUVs that helps in the snow. It includes several selectable drive modes, allowing you to proactively adjust your power to your driving conditions or preference. While the modes vary by SUV (and trim level), most include an Off-Road mode, which is also highly effective in the snow.

Skyactiv®-Vehicle Dynamics

Most Mazda SUVs also feature Skyactiv®-Vehicle Dynamics with G-Vectoring Control Plus®. This innovative technology is designed to further enhance your handling and stability. It can subtly adjust your torque and even your braking to help keep you in control.

Dynamic Stability Control

Dynamic Stability Control with Traction Control System is another advanced feature found in many Mazda SUVs. It can be helpful in snow because it can prevent wheelspin. It can even intuitively adjust to deep snow by allowing more wheelspin, so you don’t get stuck.
