    The Ford Fusion is considered a good-handling vehicle and the driving dynamics that make it so in other conditions also apply to snowy weather. Its front-drive layout maximizes traction, anti-lock brakes (ABS) can help maintain control while stopping in slippery conditions, and accurate steering and controlled suspension movements make it a predictable car to drive in all seasons.

    On the Other: Snow and Ice are Tricky for Any Car

    If the snow is deep enough or the ice is slick enough, any road-going vehicle runs the risk of losing control and crashing. No traction control, ABS, stability control or all-wheel-drive will compensate for going too fast over ice or packed snow. The best safety improvement for those conditions are top-quality winter tires and driving like you expect to lose control.

    Bottom Line

    The Ford Fusion has excellent driving dynamics and safety systems that, combined with good winter tires and safe driving techniques, will allows careful drivers to manage wintry weather driving with confidence.
