Best LCPOs for Driving in the Rain

While a little bit of rain may not seem like a huge deal, it can certainly make for that much less traction and handling on the road. This significantly worsens in heavy rains, where hydroplaning or flooding can become an issue. However, having the right vehicle can make driving in light or heavy rain more navigable.

Even better, several luxury vehicles are perfect for rainy conditions. Of course, luxury vehicles come with a price tag to match everything you’re getting from them. However, you can still grab yourself a piece of luxury with luxury certified pre-owned (LCPO) vehicles. So, let’s cover some of the best Luxury CPOs for driving in the rain.

Audi A4, A5, Q5, Q7, and E-Tron

We had to include several Audi CPO models here, as all of the above perform great in the rain. This is largely due to the inclusion of Audi’s Quattro AWD system. Quattro efficiently distributes power between all four wheels to improve grip in rainy and other slippery conditions. Audi CPOs offer excellent safety features, like advanced traction control and stability systems, perfect for driving in the rain.

BMW X1, X3, X5, and X7

BMW also has several CPO models that handle rainy conditions amazingly. The models mentioned above come equipped with BMW’s own all-wheel drive system called iDrive. Like the Audi system, iDrive is designed to distribute power evenly across the tires.

Additionally, the BMW X models mentioned here are SUVs, which can be beneficial in slippery conditions. This is because the additional weight can help to make more contact with the road surface to potentially avoid sliding.

Porsche 911

While there are a few CPO Porsche models that can be good in the rain, the Porsche 911 deserves its own special mention. This is largely because it offers an advanced feature called “Porsche Wet Mode,” which adjusts the settings to improve handling in wet conditions. Additionally, the 911, Macan, and Cayenne, all offer AWD systems that can improve traction across various slippery conditions.

Mercedes-Benz G-Class, GLE-Class, GLA-Class, and GLC-Class

Many Mercedes-Benz CPO models make excellent options for staying safe in rainy conditions, as most of them include the 4MATIC AWD system. This will help to maintain stability across various adverse conditions. Additionally, SUV models like the GLE and GLC offer higher ground clearance and more weight to improve handling on slippery surfaces or flooding.
