The bad weather is upon us, albeit a little earlier than normal, and already the predicted enquiries for 4×4’s have begun in earnest. Dealers are reporting values rising at auction and are stocking up expecting a severe winter ahead of us.
As we said in our recent Tiguan feature the rise of the soft 4×4 is ensuring that whilst 2 years ago this sector was in the doldrums it has made a quite spectacular comeback and all the major car makers now have one in their stable.
We thought it would be interesting to compile our top 10 list of 4×4’s and have some fun with our favourites which is probably sure to provoke some comment.
So here it is, our winter beating top 10 four wheel drives:
