Snow, rain, rough roads-Genesis AWD models give you confidence and control. **All-wheel drive** distributes power to all four wheels, improving traction on slippery surfaces and handling on challenging terrain, while a lower center of gravity keeps you stable in severe weather.

**Genesis AWD lineup:**
- **GV80** (flagship 3-row) handles winter commutes and family road trips with commanding height and true all-weather capability.
- **GV70** (compact crossover) combines nimble handling with confident traction-ideal for daily mixed conditions.
- **G90** and **G80** sedans offer optional AWD for smooth power delivery even in snow.

**All-weather advantages:**
- Better grip on ice and wet pavement = shorter stopping distances and fewer skids.
- Electronic stability control continuously monitors wheel slip and adjusts power automatically.
- Higher ground clearance (SUVs) means easier snow plowing and deeper water fording.
- Winter tire compatibility: our **Parts team** can recommend and install seasonal sets.
