Orléans Star Car Guide Fall/Winter edition
’Tis the season to purchase an all-wheel drive SUV By Fred Sherwin The Orléans Star If you’re a believer in the Farmer’s Almanac, then you may want to consider buying an all-wheel drive SUV this fall. According to the Almanac’s weather prognosticators, this winter is supposed to be “snowier-than-normal” in Eastern Ontario and Western Québec including the National Capital Region. If the past two or three years are any indicator of “normal”, then we are in store for a ton of snow. Not so good for the average family car, but mere child’s play if you own a snow-crunching SUV. Taylor Creek VW, Land Rover Ottawa, St. Laurent Volvo and Jaguar Ottawa together have a full range of SUVs from compact SUVs like the Volvo XC40 to midsize SUVs like the VW Tiguan the Volvo XC-60 and the Range Rover Evoque; fullsize seven-seater SUVs like the VW Atlas and the Volvo XC-90; and even luxury SUVs like the Range Rover Discovery and the Jaguar F-Pace. In the compact model line, you can choose between the VW Tiguan (starting at $29,770), the Volvo XC40 (starting at
$39,950) and the Range Rover Evoque (starting at $48,700). All three vehicles provide you with comfort, safety and peace of mind which is especially important during our Canadian winters and doubly so when transporting your family. Speaking of which, if you have a growing family you may want to consider purchasing a mid-size SUV. If that’s the case then you should consider the VW Atlas Cross Sport (starting at $38,995), the Volvo XC60 (start-ing at $46,350), or the Range Rover Velar (starting at $63,000). Still not enough room? The go whole hog and opt for a full-size seven seater SUV like the VW Atlas (starting at $40,095), or the Volvo XC90 (starting at $61,250). And if you have the budget, you can opt for the Range Rove Discovery Sport (starting at $82,500), or the Jaguar F-Pace with a starting price ranging from $52,500 to $64,250 depending on the model. All four dealers have special pricing on existing inventory which you can check out on their websites. If you prefer something smaller but still want to experience the ultimate in
All-wheel drive SUVs like the Volkswagen Atlas pictured above are more than capable of dealing with Ottawa’s snowy winters.
