Jeep Grand Cherokee
It’s the most awarded SUV ever, and with good reason. In its tenure, the Grand Cherokee has been one of the most accessible premium SUVs on the cutting edge of technology. The current Grand Cherokee uses the 3.6-liter V-6 and QuadraTrac 1 Active AWD. If you need dependable winter transportation, this is your meat-and-potatoes Jeep SUV.
What addons do you get with the Grand Cherokee? With the Laredo trim, the answer is easy: nothing. If you want the fun stuff and the comforts, prepare to pay up in the Limited, Trailhawk and so on. But the Grand Cherokee Laredo is reasonably priced at $32,595.
Toyota 4Runner
The 4Runner is a Best Buy award winner, and it’s easy to see why. There are few SUVs out there that have the offroad focus of the 4Runner, especially with a comfort and convenience twist when you’re seated inside. This one plays with the big boys, offering optional 4WD, not AWD.
You can keep your 4Runner with part-time 4WD and Active Traction Control rough and tumble for just $36,670, or you can doll it up with all the extras. Heated seats, wheel, remote start – you name it. All available at extra cost.
Land Rover Discovery Sport
Surprised to see a Land Rover on the list? Don’t be! Luxurious capability is where Land Rover stakes their claim. As such, you can bet your boots this little SUV will dazzle you with comfort while you dance through the drifts. Like its much bigger brothers, the Discovery Sport has 4WD, along with the Terrain Response selector that adapts to your conditions.
Heated mirrors are standard equipment, but you’ll want the Cold Climate Pack as well. That adds heated front and rear seats, heated steering wheel, and even a heated windshield for quick defrosting. All in all, $39,990 before taxes and fees seals the deal for the Discovery Sport SE.
