When it comes to choosing a vehicle around Carson and Norwalk, an important factor to consider is how well it will perform in various weather conditions and terrains. This is where all-wheel drive (AWD) comes in. AWD provides superior traction, handling, and control compared to front- or rear-wheel drive, making it an excellent choice for drivers who want confidence behind the wheel no matter the season. At Timmons Subaru in Long Beach, we're proud to offer a great selection of AWD-equipped models that are ready to take on any adventure.

Tackling Rainy Weather with AWD

For folks in the Lakewood area, rainy days can make for slick, slippery road conditions. AWD is hugely beneficial in the rain, as it helps maintain traction on wet surfaces. By automatically distributing power to all four wheels of your Subaru Outback, Forester, or Impreza, AWD minimizes slippage and helps you stay in control even when navigating water-covered streets in Downey.

Lakewood drivers will appreciate the stability the Subaru brand's standard AWD provides when cornering on damp roads. With power going to each wheel, you'll have maximum grip when turning and a reduced risk of sliding or skidding. This is especially important for your safety in rainy weather.

Confidence in Winter Conditions

If you enjoy taking trips to snowy destinations like Bear Lake Summit or Snow Valley Mountain Resort during the coldest months of the year, the Subaru AWD system is a must-have. Downey drivers who head to the mountains for skiing will benefit from the enhanced traction AWD delivers in snowy, icy conditions.

With AWD, you'll have a much easier time navigating unplowed streets, climbing steep snow-covered inclines, and avoiding getting stuck. AWD provides the grip needed to accelerate without spinning your wheels, giving you the confidence to get to the slopes and back home safely.

The Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive Advantage

Subaru is renowned for its Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system, which comes standard on almost every new model for sale here in Long Beach. This AWD system is uniquely designed to optimize both traction and balance. The symmetrical layout evenly distributes power to all wheels for maximum grip and stability in all conditions.

By sending power to the wheels that have the most traction, the Subaru brand's AWD system continuously adapts to the road to keep you in control. Whether you're driving around town in Long Beach or traversing snowy mountain passes, you'll have peace of mind knowing your Subaru is working to keep you safe.
