Yes, all-wheel drive Dodge Challengers, specifically the Challenger GT AWD models introduced in 2017, are considered reasonably good in snow compared to rear-wheel drive Challengers, which are poor in snow due to their high horsepower and rear-wheel drive layout. The Challenger GT AWD uses an all-wheel drive system that automatically engages when needed, providing better traction on snowy and icy roads, and it comes with a V6 engine with about 303 horsepower, which is more manageable in snow than the high horsepower V8 Hellcat models. While AWD improves acceleration and stability in snow, the Challenger is still a heavy muscle car with low ground clearance of about 5 inches, so it is not as capable in deep snow as an SUV or truck with higher clearance. For best snow performance, AWD Challengers should be equipped with proper winter tires, as all-season tires lose grip in cold and snow. Reviews from owners in snowy regions report that the GT AWD with winter tires handles light to moderate snow reasonably well for a muscle car, but it is not a substitute for a dedicated winter vehicle. It also lacks the advanced snow modes of some modern AWD systems. So AWD Challengers are better in snow than RWD Challengers, but still require cautious driving, winter tires, and are not ideal for heavy snow or unplowed roads.
