I second the sibling comment saying that this is likely a tire issue more than anything. If you're sliding down a snowy driveway or hill, no AWD/4WD in the world will save you from that, that's purely a mechanical grip issue, i.e., tires. Literally everything having to do with grip (getting unstuck, braking, handling, stopping) depends on tires. I'd recommend something like a Michelin CrossClimate or (depending on whether you're going to go on dirt/mud/trails) something like a Yokohama Geolandar G015. Going with something that is 3-peak Mountain Snowflake rated will help in the cold and snow. Failing that, if you're going to run a more economy/highway-focused tire, just make sure to replace them before they get too worn. Most tires' winter performance falls off a cliff when they're old. I don't know if the 2014 models have the X-mode system, but if they do, you'll want to enable it when driving on anything snow/dirt/gravel/sand, it will make the traction control brake vectoring power transfer more aggressive.
