The only ~~brand~~ model I trust to handle off-road out of box is ~~Subaru~~ WRX/STi because its the only cars I see actually driving in the snow
EDIT: Discounted the make lol
I pass Subarus on the coquihalla in my 335i every winter haha
Having pulled more than one 'ru out of a snow filled ditch with my tractor, I'm not overly impressed by their owners abilities to actually drive in heavy snow. Including one a Son in law of mined owned. He now owns an Audi and it's somewhat better. I generally have found Subaru owners are only just a tiny bit more low key than Jeep owners about their unshakable belief in thinking they can go anywhere with that Ru. Hint: No, no you can't.
For full disclosure: I do own a Jeep, a 2015 Patriot, that's fair in snow. Where I live, we have long, cold, often snowy winters. And unless you live in a town or along a paved highway, snow plowing by a township or even county can involve a wait of a day or two before they can get to you sometimes. So 4x4 pickup trucks are the more common vehicle seen here. And they always have a snowplow mounted to them during winter. But very, very few Jeeps or Ru's are to be seen here.
Fair enough, I was just trying to vindicate myself sliding around in the snow in my WRX lmao.
Although to be fair, where I live it just happens to be that the Subaru owners tend to have snow tires on while everyone else goes with all weather the whole year, so I haven't actually seen a subie end in a ditch, though usually its only WRX, STis, and the occasional outback on unplowed roads.
Less to do with Subaru and more to do with people being more prepared and them buying a cheap & reliable AWD platform.
Have seen plenty of 4x4 pickups that attempted to do the same thing spun out on their all weather tires lol.
