Here at Honda of Ames, we are doing our part to gear up for the winter season. Now that chilly weather has arrived, we are bundling up but still cannot avoid the inescapable chill of the season as we travel the streets of Ames, Iowa. That’s why our Honda sales team recommends selecting a Honda crossover or Honda SUV model that comes equipped to withstand the elements this winter!
Anyone can benefit from purchasing a crossover SUV with all-wheel drive (AWD) this season and beyond. This drivetrain works to reduce the potential of wheel slippage by making necessary adjustments to the engine’s torque. A few of our favorite crossover or SUV models that we recommend for year-round travel include the Honda CR-V, Honda HR-V, and Honda Pilot models. The Honda HR-V and CR-V models both include the option of a Real Time AWD with Intelligent Control System™ to optimize your commute. The Honda Pilot features an optional Intelligent Variable Torque Management™ (i-VTM4™) AWD System.
Additionally, Iowa drivers need to keep in mind a vehicle’s ground clearance. A good guideline is to choose a model with ample ground clearance to prevent damage to your undercarriage when driving through snow and reduce the risk of getting stuck in accumulated snow or ice.
If you haven’t already, we also encourage you to service your Honda model seasonally to ensure your car stays prepared for the swift changes in weather and precipitation. Honda service technicians check your vehicle’s fluids, tires, battery, belts, and more for damage so you can continue to explore with confidence.
