Any awd suv is good. The people telling you awd doesn't matter and it's just good tires have not driven in several inches of snow with a low slung car. Clearance and awd makes a huge difference.

I did doordash in a Scion TC (sporty front wheel drive coupe) all of one winter delivering to snowed in people with un-plowed driveways and I never got close to getting stuck thanks to proper snow tires.

I had studded snow tires on several sub compact cars in my youth, and they would get stuck several times a winter. Once the snow starts scraping the belly of a sub compact car, its over. They get hung up on everything, I guess bc they are so light. That was my experience in deeper snow you find outside of southern Maine. My old Volvo was better, but still not as good as awd.
