That sucks. It's not the car or rain's fault. These cars are just fine in the rain. You were driving too fast, or following too closely, or have bald tires.
I have a 2022 Rav4 hybrid, and it is AWD. I live in Alberta near the mountains, and my hybrid handles the snow great. I also have snow tires on my vehicle. It is a 31 km drive from my house to work, down city streets and on a highway that may not be cleared, and I have had no issues since owning this vehicle. \n \nI have great gas mileage in the winter and summer months.
My AWD gen5 Prius is surprisingly capable in the ice and snow with the stock all season tires. I live in northern Indiana and just drove home through a blizzard last week. Was able to cruise comfortably at 40mph in pretty much the worst conditions.
On my second RAV4 hybrid, both have performed adequately with winter tires with a few inches of snow on un-plowed roads in New England. The winter tires are the key however as others have said.
Fast forward to my 1st of 3 Ravs with much better snow tires and it was a much better ride. So, Ravs are very decent in snow, no\nIssue\u2026 BUT get good snow tires and I\u2019d stay away from winter rated all-seasons tires if you have to drive in regular snowy areas.
There's some evidence that EVs are harder on tires because they're heavier and accelerate better, but at 10k on my very, very heavy Lightning I'm not seeing that, probably because I drive like a grandma.
So glad I have snow tires. They make my Prius feel like a hummer.
Here\u2019s the \u201cbad\u201d stuff that I\u2019ve had on mine:\n\n- LED light on the running board went out. Replaced under warranty\n- backup sensor issue: a wire broke (i think) when I did some \u201cspirited\u201d driving on a gravel road. Getting fixed on Monday.\n- rear drive unit seal weeped a bit. Getting fixed on Monday.\n- stock tires sucked.
I had both tires for 6 month each. There isnt really any apparent difference in fuel economy.
The stock ones on my 23 AWD are not good either. I've kept tire pressure good, not driven it in any funky ways and the tires are at 4/32" at 18k miles.
