Thanksgiving will pass, December will rear its ugly head, and the ground will become covered in a thick blanket of white snow. If you live in a warmer state, like Florida, you don’t need to worry about what features your car needs to survive the winter months. However, if you’re in New Jersey, black ice and the careful art of driving on snow are a couple of things you are likely all too familiar with.

If you’re in the market for a new luxury Lincoln vehicle and you want to make sure it’s winter ready, look for these features:

Tires

Don’t settle on tires. If you’re going to be driving on a lot of snow, get tires that say they are specifically for traveling in snow.

All-wheel Drive

This improves traction and stability. Some all-wheel drive cars can even cut power from slipping wheels and transfer it to wheels with traction, so drivers can continue safely on their drive, even on the iciest of roads.
