It is available with all-wheel drive and can accommodate up to eight people. Or you can fold or remove the seats to get more cargo space.
Toyota Matrix: The Matrix is actually a hatchback version of the ever-popular Corolla, and it's available with all-wheel drive. The anti-lock braking system also provides additional safety, and if you happen to have an accident in rainy weather (perhaps due to the actions of another driver who is not driving so steadily), you can rely on it. Side curtain airbags to protect all passengers in your vehicle.
Kia Sportage: This all-wheel drive crossover is available with all-wheel drive and you will find it very manageable. It's also an attractive car, and it's loaded with features. The anti-slip function provides additional safety.
