Fast FAQ: AWD & winter driving

What is AWD in plain English?
AWD can send power to all four wheels to help you start and stay stable on slippery roads; many Chevys also offer Driver Mode/Traction Select with modes tailored for conditions.²

AWD vs. 4WD—do I need Tahoe/Suburban instead?
AWD is “set-and-forget” for mixed conditions. If you want manual control and low-range for heavy snow or towing, full-size SUVs with 4WD & AutoTrac® 2-speed transfer case may be a better fit.¹⁰

If I have AWD, do I still need winter tires?
Yes. AWD helps you go; proper winter tires help you stop and turn. The combo is the biggest traction upgrade most local drivers can make.

What about EVs in the cold?
Expect some range variability in winter. Pre-condition the cabin/battery, use Level 2 home charging, and keep tires properly inflated.⁷ ⁸

Other simple upgrades that really help here

• Winter tires (ideally on a dedicated wheel set)
• Wipers + cold-weather washer fluid
• Battery health check
• Brake inspection & alignment (post-pothole season)
• All-weather liners (mud/salt from Mary Cummings Park or Lake Quannapowitt runs)
