Many vehicles offer all-wheel-drive technology these days, but the most reliable cars with AWD bring a little more to the table. Even though they avoid slippery situations with their superior traction, these cars also avoid constant downtime based on outstanding dependability.
So, there are some fairly affordable choices here, including a number of vehicles priced under $30,000—though we haven’t skipped the premium entries, either. That means we have plenty of options for drivers who prefer the benefits of AWD but don’t need the extra size that comes with a crossover or sport-utility vehicle.
