Drive slower when it’s icy (or not at all). 4WD won’t help you in the most important situation on ice: braking. What will help are studded tyres.
You can fit two large instruments in a station wagon. You can fit two medium instruments in basically any car.

Two kids who play instruments, or semi-frequent long-distance trips.
These are all pretty reasonable requirements for what Americans deal with on the road.
