What is the best Audi Drive Select Mode for snow?

I have a new Audi and love it, except the snowy weather just hit where I live, and I’m noticing some traction trouble. My car has several drive modes, but which is the best for driving in the snow?

Congrats on your new
Audi
. The best Audi Drive Select Mode for snow may be Off Road or Comfort.
The Off Road setting engages all-wheel drive (AWD), which is ideal for getting at least one tire to grip a piece of road that isn’t snowy and icy.
Comfort, on the other hand, offers a softer-feeling suspension and less resistance when steering. It also allows the transmission to shift at lower RPMs, giving you more power to your wheels quicker.
It may come down to which mode you prefer, so give them both a try to figure out which one feels the most secure with your driving style.
