^ My current crossover SUV is a Ford Edge without AWD. My last one was a Nissan Murano with AWD. The AWD made no practical difference to me... I can't tell the difference in terms of how it feels when driving. Maybe it's because I lived in the inner city when I owned the Murano and mostly drove on urban streets with speed limits no higher than 60 km/h, but I just never saw how AWD could be considered essential.
Of course, 4x4 trucks are a whole other story...

^ AWD is certainly not required. But it's a definitely a "nice to have".
AWD with good quality winter tires just makes everything seem effortless. No sliding, no spinning, chattering tires, etc. etc.
