Virtually any vehicle with tolerable ground clearance + good tires + rational speed + time spent behind the wheel in adverse conditions learning to drive = a good vehicle in the snow.
I learned to drive in snow by being taken out by my Dad and being told to "Drive home". I was in an 83 Cavalier (FWD, manual). Worked just fine with the tips I was given. After I showed minimal competence in the car, he took me out in the Jeep CJ-5 and let me have fun. I learned to drive in the snow the same way I learned to off-road - slow and steady.
Best snow vehicle I've had was a longbed 4x4 Ranger with tall, skinny tires. It handled like it was on rails in snow or ice. This was not surprising considering I'd bought it off of a guy what had used it to run around Alaska for years. I never used 4x4 mode unless there was a lot of ice laid down, and never needed 4x4 Low except for pulling people out of ditches on the roadside.
