How Does the Dodge Charger Handle in the Snow?

2013 Dodge Charger AWD

The Charger AWD handles great in the snow.

When you live in Wisconsin, getting a vehicle that handles well in the snow is just a smart buy. But many of the vehicles out there on the market aren’t exactly built for the Wisconsin winters – or maybe you don’t think they are. For example, how does the Dodge Charger handle in the snow? This is a question that doesn’t necessarily have a cut and dried answer.

While the standard Dodge Charger in Racine is a rear-wheel drive vehicle, it is actually much better than past versions in terms of handling in the snow. The weight differential allows it to get good grip even when the roads are icy.

There’s an even better option if you really want the Charger for your year-round Wisconsin driver. It’s the Charger AWD, which provides the ultimate in winter driving stability. The Charger AWD system adapts to changing road conditions to engage the all-wheel drive when you need it. And it works much more smoothly than AWD systems of the past thanks to a front axle disconnect. You can also manually go from rear to all-wheel drive when you need to.
