What are the Best All-Wheel Drive Vehicles for New Jersey Winters?

Jeep Compass: Your All-Terrain Ally for Sussex County Winters

In Sussex County, winter hosts a three-month-long reality show, complete with icy drama and snow-packed challenges. From the frozen hills near High Point State Park to Route 23's "ice skating" lanes, you need a vehicle ready for prime time. Enter the Jeep Compass: the compact SUV recently recognized by Nielsen Editorial as one of the best all-wheel drive vehicles for New Jersey winters.

The Compass comes armed with Jeep's legendary 4x4 system and Selec-Terrain® Traction Management, meaning it adjusts to road conditions faster than you can say, "Where's the snowplow?" Whether you're navigating Vernon's slushy backroads or tackling an unplowed driveway that looks like a double black diamond, this SUV is your go-to winter warrior. And let's face it - who wouldn't want Hill Descent Control when your street doubles as a bobsled track?

Think the Compass is too compact for big winter adventures? Think again. It's small enough to snag the last spot at the local ShopRite but roomy enough to haul hockey gear, snow boots, and that leaf blower your neighbor "borrowed" last fall. Plus, it leaves just enough space for your pride when you overdo it on the Costco run.

Safety? The Compass is like your overprotective best friend. With Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Path Detection, it's got your back for every icy merge onto Route 206 or navigating Sussex County Mall's parking lot, where the real winter games begin. And heated seats? They're basically your reward for surviving mornings that make you question your life choices.

Ready to show winter who's boss? Swing by our Jeep dealership in NJ to take the Jeep Compass for a spin. Because in Sussex County, it's not just about surviving winter - it's about conquering it with flair.
