Well, if you do true off-road driving then sure. For everything else, 2WD (rear or front) is enough. I went skiing in the swedish mountains last week and drove there (and around) with my RWD 5-series. worked perfectly fine... |

We don't represent the general public. And the GP thinks like this. Jane Doe is shopping for a new crossover and wants a RAV4, she requires AWD because she believes it is safer and gives her the piece of mind that all wheels will be active when in reality she has no idea that most of the time, it will be running through FWD and that snow tires will provide better traction. Its not about necessity, however, its a preference and idea of piece of mind that AWD gives. AWD is also likely one of the reasons for the crossoverpocolypse, since outside of Subaru, many sedans weren't and still aren't available with AWD, so a RWD only iX3, will not be appealing to most of the GP outside of maybe California. How many sDrive 30i's does BMW sell compared to xDrive?
