THE BEST ALL-WHEEL-DRIVE SUV ALTERNATIVES
AppleMagazine|December 08, 2023
You can find all-wheel drive on most new SUVs on sale today, and some of the most popular models even come standard with this feature. All-wheel drive can be beneficial for the additional traction it provides on slippery or icy roads, especially when you’re trying to accelerate from a stop or up a hill. But what if you want all-wheel drive without the SUV? After all, SUVs are typically less fuel-efficient and more expensive than a comparably sized sedan or hatchback. Fortunately, there are options for shoppers seeking SUV alternatives with all-wheel drive. Experts have picked five of their favorites. The following prices include destination charges.
THE BEST ALL-WHEEL-DRIVE SUV ALTERNATIVES

2023 TESLA MODEL 3

The Model 3 has been the lowest-priced option in the automaker’s lineup since its debut and it continues to be a great choice for an EV.

The latest Model 3 Long Range comes with dual electric motors — one for the front wheels and one for rear wheels — to give it all-wheel drive. It also has an impressive EPA-estimated 333 miles of range on a single charge. Other upsides to the Model 3 include roomy seating, helpful driver assistance features and access to Tesla’s Supercharger stations, which is the most extensive network of fast chargers in the nation.

Model 3 Long Range MSRP: $47,380

2024 SUBARU IMPREZA

Of course, one of the main reasons you may be worried about not having an SUV is storage space. The Subaru Impreza is a nice alternative. Drop the rear seats in the Impreza and you’ll have 56 cubic feet of storage space to work with, which is about what a typical subcompact SUV offers. The Impreza is redesigned for 2024 and only comes as a hatchback.

As is often the case with Subarus, all wheel drive comes standard across the Impreza lineup. Look to get the RS trim if you can as it comes with a more powerful engine and a sport-tuned suspension that puts some welcome pep in this little Subaru’s step.

Starting manufacturer suggested retail price: $24,115
