Hot Cars for Cold Temps

As the calendar moves through the winter months, there are many ways that drivers can make sure their cars can handle the treacherous conditions. Still, regardless of how much maintenance you perform on your vehicle, there are certain makes and models that are better suited to the winter. Kelley Blue Book's website kbb.com recently unveiled its list of the top cars for winter driving.

The number six car happens to be one of the most popular SUVs on the road. The latest version of the Honda CR-V includes a number of features that make it an excellent pick for cold weather driving. For example, it includes an intelligent control system that makes keeping the car on the road a bit easier. Even if you're in the market for a used CR-V, the reliable vehicle will be sure to withstand the rigors of the colder months.

It's not just SUVs making their way on the list. The website also included crossovers such as the Chevrolet Traverse, which came in at number four. What makes this practical car a good choice for the winter is that it comes with optional all-wheel drive for when the roads are especially slick.

"Although this purposefully diverse roster includes a full spectrum of highly capable alternatives, all share one common trait: Each boasts some type of user-friendly all-wheel drive system that can help keep you on the road – figuratively and literally – as you head to your final destination," said Jack R. Nerad, executive editorial director for Kelley Blue Book's kbb.com.

Whether you're looking for an SUV or a crossover to get where you're going this winter, New Jersey State Auto Auction is likely to have it. The dealer offers a wide variety of used cars at affordable prices.
