Driving in inclement weather is never fun, especially if your car tends to hydroplane or lose traction on slick or muddy surfaces. 

If there is one thing that Subaru is best known for, it’s its fleet of vehicles’ ability to adeptly handle rough, difficult and unpredictable terrain. It should come as no surprise then that every Subaru model except for the Subaru BRZ all come equipped with onboard all-wheel drive. 

While the onboard AWD systems do vary between models, the Subaru brand AWD is unique in that it offers extremely flexible control on the road. Rather than the standard AWD that fluctuates between front axle and rear axle, Subaru’s AWD allows for powered steering wheel to wheel, moving traction emphasis from left to right. 

Additionally, the AWD available in Subaru vehicles is permanent rather than selectively powered on and off, offering a smooth, tactile ride experience on any surface. Subarus don’t wait for the road conditions to worsen and traction beneath the wheels to be lost–instead, continuous power is applied to all four wheels for reliability and consistency on changing road surfaces.
