What is the best Honda for driving in the snow?

I’ve driven Hondas my whole life, and I don’t intend to stop now. I am, however, moving up north, so I need to make sure I get something that does well in the winter. What’s the best Honda for driving in the snow?

We get it—when you know what you like, it’s tough to make a change. Lucky for you, moving to a snowy winter climate doesn’t mean switching to a new vehicle manufacturer. The
2023 Honda CR-V AWD
actually made Kelley Blue Book’s list of best SUVs for driving in the snow.
All-wheel drive (AWD) is a $1,500 option on the 2023 CR-V, but it’s well worth the expense if you find yourself driving in the snow on the regular. Plus, the cost offsets itself when you consider that many previously optional winter features are now standard for 2023. For example, heated seats and outboard mirrors would’ve cost you extra in previous model years, but not anymore!
If you’re looking for something a little larger, you might consider the
Honda Pilot
. It seats up to eight passengers and offers an available Intelligent Variable Torque Management AWD System on all trim levels. Plus, you can add the Intelligent Traction Management System with Snow Mode for additional grip in slippery situations.
If a truck is more your speed, the
Honda Ridgeline
is your play. AWD and Traction Management systems are available here as well.
