What is the best Nissan for snow?

I’m at the Nissan dealership in North Dakota where I live. Winter is intense here, so I’d like a Nissan that can handle snowy conditions. Which Nissan model is best for snow?

Not all vehicles are meant for up north! The best Nissan for snow is the Nissan Rogue—with all-wheel drive (AWD).
Nissan Rouge
is a sturdy, small SUV that’s been around since 2008. Depending on the model year, the Rogue has between a 7.4-inch and 8.4-inch ground clearance which can help prevent snow from getting packed behind the wheels as you drive.
The best way to safely traverse inclement weather conditions is with AWD.
Nissan
uses an Intelligent All-Wheel Drive system that monitors road conditions in real-time and delivers the right amount of torque to the front and rear axles to provide maximum traction. All trim levels of newer model Rouges can be upgraded to AWD for an extra $1,500.
However, snow can be unpredictable and tricky to navigate even with AWD. To be sure you’re safe, check that your
car insurance
policy meets
North Dakota car insurance laws
. If you find yourself stranded, you’ll want to have
towing and labor coverage
handy to get 24/7 assistance. Whether you need a tow, a battery jumpstart, or a tire change—you’ll be covered!
