What is the best Mazda to drive in the winter?

What Mazda vehicles have all-wheel-drive?
We suggested the Mazda CX-9, but really, any crossover in the lineup with i-ACTIV AWD® would be a great option. In addition to the Mazda CX-9, the Mazda CX-3 and Mazda CX-5 also come available with i-ACTIV AWD®. Of these models, the Mazda CX-9 is the largest one and generally has better handling on slippery or rough terrain. If staying safe on the roads in the snow is a top concern of yours, the Mazda CX-9 fitted with i-ACTIV AWD® will be a very safe bet for you.
How can you achieve better traction on the snow and ice?
If you don’t have an all-wheel-drive system on your vehicle, there are still things you can do to help your traction and grip. If your car has a rear-wheel drive, you should put more weight in the back. Load up the trunk with sandbags or kitty litter and your rear tires will have an easier time gripping the road. For front-wheel drivers, it isn’t as simple. Without making any alterations to your car or tires, you can get better traction by driving in the tracks made by other drivers. This isn’t ideal, but you will certainly notice a difference. Other ways to get a better grip on winter roads include tire socks, winter-specific tires, and simply driving slower.
Stick to the road in the winter with a Mazda CX-9
The latest Mazda CX-9 is showing off its all-weather chops with its available all-wheel-drive system. When equipped with all-wheel-drive capabilities, the Mazda CX-9 can take on snow, rain and uneven environments with more control and efficiency. For added grip on a snowy road, the CX-9 employs Traction Control, Dynamic Stability Control, and Roll Stability Control to keep wheelspin at a minimum and traction optimized.
