It's all about tires. I picked up a set of Nokian Nordmans for my Insight, and I can't count how many times last winter I drove around my in-laws' 2014 Prius which couldn't get out of the driveway (Cooper winter tires), and I pulled my dad's F150 out of a snow-bank (Firestone winter tires). I also pulled my wife's HCH1 up the driveway with some rope one time. I can't remember what tires are on the HCH1, but they were there when I bought the car, maybe Douglas winter tires?
Anyway, with the Nokians, the Insight outperformed all of these vehicles which had "lesser" tires, in anything that wasn't so deep it bottomed out. Maybe if they all had the same tires it would be different, but YMMV.
