Compact cars like sedans make maneuvering and navigating narrow mountain roads easy due to their compact size. All-wheel drives (AWD) vehicles are suitable for Banffs mountainous terrain and during winter seasons. AWD vehicles transmit power to all four wheels hence firm grip and control on slippery surfaces. SUV vehicles are more suitable for off-road ventures as they have more traction and high ground clearance.
