Used all-wheel-drive and 4x4 SUVs in Montréal

Wet snow on the Metropolitan, side streets waiting for the plow, a sloped driveway: a Montréal winter puts vehicles to the test. Right now, 16 AWD and 4x4 SUVs are available at Auto Focus International, from $14,995 to $31,995. Here is how to pick the one that suits your commute, your family and your budget.

All-wheel drive or 4x4: the difference

An all-wheel-drive (AWD) system automatically shares traction between the front and rear wheels depending on grip. The driver has nothing to do, which makes it a natural choice for the city and the highway. A 4x4, built tougher, often has a low range and is aimed at dirt roads, towing or the cottage at the end of a poorly maintained road. For most trips between Montréal and Laval, all-wheel drive does the job very well.

What all-wheel drive does not replace

All-wheel drive helps you get moving and stay on course, but it does not help you stop. On ice, tires make the difference. In Québec, winter tires are mandatory from December 1 to March 15 for passenger vehicles. A well-shod AWD SUV remains the most reassuring combination for winter.

Financing and trade-ins

You can finance your SUV with a 1st, 2nd or 3rd chance credit file; financing is subject to lender approval and terms vary with each file. Your current vehicle can serve as a trade-in, and our payment calculator helps you estimate your monthly budget before your visit.

Winter maintenance, on site

After the purchase, our mechanical and body shop handles oil changes, tire rotation, tune-ups, battery installation and general inspections, for cars and SUVs alike. A tired battery is often the first thing to give out in the first deep freeze: it is worth having it checked in the fall.

Come test-drive an SUV

We are at 3640, rue Jarry Est, Montréal, QC H1Z 2G5, Canada, close to Highway 40. Drivers from Ahuntsic, Montréal-Nord, Anjou, Rosemont and Laval find it an easy trip for a test drive. Call 514-593-4333 to confirm that the SUV you like is still available.

AWD SUV questions

Do I need an AWD SUV for winter in Montréal?

It is not a must. A front-wheel-drive car with good winter tires copes well in the city; all-wheel drive adds confidence on unplowed streets and hills.

Are winter tires included with the vehicle?

It varies from one vehicle to the next. Ask our team about the SUV you are interested in.

Does an all-wheel-drive SUV use more fuel?

Generally a little more than the front-wheel-drive version of the same model, because of the extra weight and components. The gap depends on the model.

Can I finance an SUV with 2nd chance credit?

Flexible credit options are available, including second-chance financing. Financing remains subject to lender approval.
