I recently moved states, and my new area is colder than I’m used to. I want to trade my current C180 for a car that does better in the snow. What’s the best Mercedes-Benz for driving in snow?
: Not only does the GLA come with features like remote start and heated seats and side mirrors, but it’s also incredibly safe. GLA models with 4MATIC four-wheel drive earn a five-star rating from the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration (NHTSA).
Mercedes-Benz GLS: The GLA isn’t the only G-Class Mercedes worth considering for winter driving. The GLS is outfitted with off-road capabilities that come in handy on winter drives, including traction control, adaptive braking, and heated seats for added comfort.
: If you want to keep a sedan body style, the C300 is a great alternative. Despite a low ground clearance (just four inches), the C300 is capable, especially when it’s outfitted with the brand’s 4MATIC four-wheel drive system.
No matter the model you choose, opting for the brand’s 4MATIC drivetrain is a must. This specialized system adds maximum traction to any Mercedes-Benz vehicle, optimizing your vehicle’s performance for snowy and icy roads.
