The distribution of power to all four wheels is the main difference between All-Wheel Drive and Four-Wheel drive vehicles. With All-Wheel Drive, electronic sensors take control and make adjustments automatically. With Four-Wheel Drive, it's the driver who must decide the distrubution power to all four wheels.

The crucial point is that an AWD is always ready to act. The electronic sensors can send power in less than a tenth of a second to all four wheels independently when it's necessary.

So, with the temperatures now around sub-zero, you should really be putting your confidence in an AWD.
