You're no stranger to East Coast winters in Delaware. When the snow, sleet, and icy conditions make driving treacherous, you know what you need to navigate the roads. A little bit of ice to get yourself out of a jam—and an All-Wheel Drive (AWD) or 4-Wheel Drive (4WD) vehicle that can keep you out of one. Kick your winter into high gear with one of our Subaru models because when it comes to AWD, few things are better than Subaru's Symmetrical AWD
What is Symmetrical AWD
This ingenious full-time AWD system will continuously send power to all four wheels instead of only being activated when slip is detected. The science behind it all is the construction. The positioning of the Boxer engine and central differential will provide a low center of gravity, resulting in improved handling and stability. Your Subaru is ready for winter roads in Delmar, Salisbury, and throughout the East Coast.
The Benefits of AWD and 4WD in Winter Weather
AWD and 4WD systems provide superior traction and control in slippery conditions compared to two-wheel drive vehicles. By sending power to all four wheels, AWD and 4WD help you maintain grip on snow-covered or icy roads. This can give you greater peace of mind when navigating through winter weather in Ocean City. Living on the East Coast is easier when you have a vehicle that can handle anything from Winter through Summer.
Choosing the Right Subaru for Winter
At Gateway Subaru, we have many AWD-equipped vehicles in stock today. If you're looking for a capable crossover that's ready for wintry adventures around Millsboro, DE, check out the Subaru Forester, Outback, or Crosstrek. These versatile vehicles combine ample cargo space, high ground clearance, and standard AWD to take you off the beaten path.
If you're one of those who lean towards the enhanced handling of a sporty sedan, the Subaru Legacy and Impreza offer the surefooted traction of AWD in a sleek, comfortable package. Do you need more interior space? Subaru brings a full-sized SUV to the table. The new 3-row Subaru Ascent is a great choice, with standard Symmetrical AWD, advanced safety features, and plenty of room for passengers and gear.
Preparing Your Subaru for Winter Weather
In addition to AWD or 4WD, there are some other steps you can take to get your vehicle ready for winter's worst. Consider switching to winter tires, which are specially designed to provide optimal traction in cold, snowy conditions. Ensure your battery, brakes, heating system, and windshield wipers are in good working condition. Also, it never hurts to pack an emergency kit with items like a shovel, flashlight, blankets, and snacks in case you get stranded.
