An auto blog has named the five best all-wheel-drive sedans of 2025 for drivers who aren’t ready to jump to crossovers but want confidence when the roads turn icy. At the heart of the ranking is a balance of traction, performance, and efficiency.

The hybrid Toyota Camry with electrified rear drive comes across as one of the most versatile picks: 232 hp, high comfort, and 4.8 L/100 km make it a natural leader for family trips. The Subaru WRX holds on to its reputation as an engaging AWD sedan, offering 270 hp and a classic symmetrical setup. Meanwhile, the Kia K5 GT-Line leans on design and generous equipment, staying among the best-value choices in the segment.

The Audi A5 Quattro is effectively the new A4 under a sleeker body, paired with a 268-hp engine. Standard quattro transmission inspires confidence in rain and snow. Rounding out the list, the BMW 3 Series xDrive remains the benchmark among sport sedans: its all-wheel drive underscores the chassis’ rear-driven character while preserving precision and verve.

What unites all these models is simple: they deliver a full-blooded drive without worrying about the season.
