2024 is ushering in a new era of small sedans with increased power, performance, comfort, functionality, and fuel economy. One of the biggest advantages of the new generation of small sedans is the addition of all-wheel-drive (AWD), which is something that was traditionally only found on larger, more expensive vehicles. An AWD sedan provides drivers with improved grip, control, and stability on virtually any terrain or weather condition, making them capable of tackling rough terrain, slippery roads, and wet weather.

The added stability of an AWD system also provides increased traction and allows for greater control and comfort while driving. This translates not only into improved performance, but also increased safety, both on the road and off, as AWD provides extra grip when on wet or icy surfaces.

In addition to increased stability and safety, AWD also improves fuel economy, as the extra weight of the drivetrain creates additional drag on the engine, resulting in less fuel consumption. Normally, AWD vehicles can be more expensive than their counterparts without AWD, but new technology has made AWD accessible to a wider market. Many small sedans now have AWD options, and some even provide AWD as a standard
