There are numerous videos on Internet where a FWD cars get stuck in snow due to lack of 4×4 capability. The FWD cars can handle mild snow conditions however in thick snow, they are prone to get stuck.
The video uploaded by youtuber Anuj Pandey shows that when the road tracks were visible, the micro SUV was able to drive comfortably. The situation worsens as soon as the thickness of snow increases and road marks are not visible. Being a front wheel drive, the front wheels start spinning and vehicle starts sliding horizontally due to huge snow and lack of traction.
The youtuber realises that new Punch starts getting stuck and eventually tries to take a U-turn. The youtuber barely manages to take the U-turn. While taking the U-turn the front wheels start spinning and the micro SUV gets stuck.
FWD cars need to be taken special care during snow conditions. One can tie chains on wheels to gain more traction and should avoid hard braking.
