4 cars that are perfect for winter, according to Edmunds — and cost less than $40,000
Edmunds even has a convertible it recommends for the snowy season

If you’re gearing up for winter and looking for a new car that can handle snow and ice, Edmunds has some suggestions.
It recommended four cars — a pickup truck, an SUV, a sedan, and even a convertible — under $40,000 that are well-suited for harsh winter climates.
Check out which four it recommends — and why:
2 / 5
Chevrolet Colorado

The Chevy Colorado is Edmunds’s top choice for a pickup truck in the U.S., and it says the Trail Boss model is particularly suited for winter weather. The Trail Boss model starts at $37,500.
3 / 5
Ford Bronco

With a base price of just under $40,000, the 2024 Ford (F) Bronco is another one of Edmunds’ picks for winter adventurers. It said the SUV is fun to drive and has a smooth ride.
4 / 5
Mazda Mc-5 Miata RF

The sporty Miata convertible may not seem like an obvious choice for a cold weather car, but Edmunds says it rides easily through the snow with winter tires.
The RF version has a hard top that’s well-suited for chilly conditions and it starts at $38,195. The one drawback, Edmunds said, is it sits low to the ground, which can create problems in particularly bad storms.
5 / 5
Subaru WRX

Subarus are known to handle winter conditions well and the WRX sedan is no exception. The premium version clocks in at $35,755 and Edmunds says it’s a great choice with impressive traction during any road conditions. The heated side mirrors and built-in windshield wiper de-icer are nice bonuses too.
