Boost confidence on foul-weather roads with these savvy SUVs
Subaru Tribeca
Three’s not a crowd, at least when it comes to Subarus and lists of best winter SUVs and crossovers. Thanks to crash test scores, fuel-efficiency, standard features and more, the 2010 Subaru Tribeca rounds out our Subaru trifecta. OK, it’s not really a trifecta, but there’s no denying that Subaru has you covered when it comes to driving in the rough stuff. The Tribeca, like all Subarus, features symmetrical all-wheel drive, standard VDC, and a generous bit of ground clearance – in this case, 8.4 inches. Highway fuel economy just beats our 20-mpg cutoff with a rating of 21 mpg. Of special note, a Severe Weather Companion kit is available as an accessory with the Tribeca, including items designed to help keep you warm in the event of a winter emergency.
