How much do tour buses cost?

Master’s Transportation’s large inventory allows us to offer extremely competitive pricing on all new and used motor coaches and travel vans. Our prices are some of the lowest in the industry because we receive volume discounts from our long-standing partners in manufacturing.

With that being said, several factors will impact the cost of your bus or van. These factors include the model, age, mileage, equipment package, and financing method you select.

Can I finance a new or used travel bus?

Yes, Master’s Transportation offers several financing and leasing options , including:

Operational leases
Short-term lease
Financed leases
Trac leases
Purchase financing

Our tour buses can be leased for seasonal or yearly time frames, depending on your needs.

Leasing is an excellent choice due to the ongoing semiconductor chip shortage, which has limited the in-stock inventory of our tour buses for sale.

If you are looking for a way to unlock additional savings, take advantage of the Section 179 IRS deduction to reduce your tax obligations.

Do you offer repair services or parts for tour vehicles?

Of course we do! Beyond sales and rentals, we also serve as a reliable partner for tour bus repair and maintenance services, in addition to having access to thousands of parts for commercial vehicles spanning a wide range of makes and models.

How many passengers can a tour bus hold?

The seating capacity of your vehicle will vary greatly depending on which model you choose. For instance, our tour vans typically carry between 10-15 passengers whereas our large motor coaches can accommodate as many as 75 tourists. We also offer intermediate-sized tour buses that can accommodate 15-30 guests.

Do tour bus drivers need a CDL?

Tour bus drivers must possess a CDL if they are operating a vehicle that can accommodate more than 15 passengers. Tour vans or buses that carry 15 passengers or less do not require a CDL to drive.

Can I buy a tour bus that is located in another city or state?

Of course! Master’s Transportation offers nationwide delivery. If you have found the perfect tour bus, but it is located outside of your state of residence, give us a call. We can arrange for the vehicle to be delivered straight to you.

Best Road Trip Cars in 2023

Get ready to hit the road for vacations and holidays in a car that's fuel efficient, reliable and comfortable. We found the best road trip cars for any adventure.

Kia Motors America |

Looking for Adventure? Head Out on the Highway!

People have a lot of pent-up travel lust after years of pandemic restrictions and uncertainty. Air travel in particular has seen a huge rise this summer, with the busiest day in the industry's history occurring in June. Rather than fight those busy flights, hit the road in a new vehicle that can fit all your luggage and maybe even help you keep your cool.

No single car is the perfect road trip vehicle for everyone, but great road trip cars have some features in common. We looked for vehicles that have good gas mileage for fewer stops at gas stations, enough USB ports to keep everyone's devices charged up and comfortable seats in all rows. Driver assistance features are important too, as they can help reduce fatigue during long days on the road.

When new information becomes available, we update our reviews, so the information in these slides might not match the reviews exactly.

Let's take a look at the best road trip cars so we can – finally – get out of town.

Hyundai Motor America |

2023 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid

$31,350 | usn overall score: 8.7/10.

The 2023 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid is among the best in its class. Its long list of features was refreshed for the new model year, and it was a finalist for our Best Hybrid SUV for the Money and Best Hybrid SUV for Families awards. The regular hybrid is the best for road tripping, with up to 38 mpg on the highway. The available plug-in hybrid shines brightest when you can take full advantage of its 33 miles of electric-only power around town.

Inside, there's tons of room for adults in both rows of seating and a huge cargo area. An 8-inch touch screen, wireless Apple CarPlay , wireless Android Auto , four USB ports and wireless device charging come standard.

2023 Volkswagen Atlas

$34,460 | usn overall score: 8.0/10.

The 2023 Volkswagen Atlas has enough room to bring along everybody and all their gear. It's available with two or three rows of seating, and even the optional third row has enough room for shorter adults or squirmy kids. It has more cargo space behind the third row than most in its class. A 6.5-inch touch screen and smartphone compatibility come standard.

Despite being a 3-row SUV, the Atlas is easy to maneuver, even when you leave the highway for city streets. It can also tow up to 5,000 pounds when properly configured if you plan to bring a small camper or want to tow some toys for your vacation.

2023 Lincoln Navigator

$77,635 | usn overall score: 8.8/10.

Wherever your road trip takes you, the 2023 Lincoln Navigator will make sure you arrive in comfort and style. It's one of the best luxury large SUVs, with a well-built and high-quality interior. Standard features include a 13.2-inch touch screen, wireless smartphone connectivity, a Wi-Fi hotspot and five USB ports.

Every seat in all three rows is comfortable, and the available L model adds extra space to an already roomy cargo area. And though it is large, the Navigator turns in decent fuel economy estimates for its class, with up to 23 mpg on the highway. Standard safety features like lane-keep assist can help reduce driver fatigue too.

2023 Chevrolet Suburban

$57,200 | overall score: 8.2/10.

The 2023 Chevrolet Suburban is the classic family road trip SUV. It's huge, with more cargo space than almost any SUV out there. It can be configured to seat up to nine people (though it's a tight fit). With seven or eight seats, even the third row provides enough legroom for adults. The interior is sturdy enough for epic journeys, and it comes with an 8-inch touch screen, wireless smartphone connectivity and six USB ports.

Depending on how you configure it, the Suburban can tow up to 8,300 pounds, enough for the average camper. It also comes with driver-assistance features like lane-departure warning, lane-keep assist and automatic emergency braking.

2023 Genesis G90

$88,400 | usn overall score: 9.3/10.

The 2023 Genesis G90 was completely redesigned this year, and it added an optional mild-hybrid powertrain that improves acceleration when passing on the highway. The available air suspension makes long drives a dream, and the long list of standard safety features-including adaptive cruise control-eases the tedium of driving.

The Nappa leather interior wraps the road tripper in luxury, and both rows of seating are comfortable for adults. The trunk is large enough for several suitcases, and it opens automatically as you approach. The G90 also has one of the longest warranties in the business.

2023 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid

$30,725 | usn overall score: 8.2/10.

The 2023 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid takes everything that has made this compact SUV popular over the years, like a comfortable ride and plenty of standard high-tech features, and added a fuel-efficient and quick-accelerating hybrid powertrain. It can get up to 41 mpg on the highway, which helps cut road trip costs. It was also a finalist for our Best Hybrid SUV for the Money award.

The interior is solidly built, and both rows of seating are comfy. There's also great visibility for everyone, so games of "I Spy" may get competitive. An 8-inch touch screen, wireless smartphone compatibility and a Wi-Fi hotspot come standard. Adaptive cruise control and traffic-sign recognition (both standard) help you when driving in unfamiliar locations.

2023 Honda CR-V Hybrid

$32,950 | usn overall score: 8.3/10.

The 2023 Honda CR-V Hybrid is a more fuel-efficient version of the popular compact SUV, with up to 43 mpg on the highway. It's been completely redesigned this year, with more standard tech features and an improved infotainment system. A 7-inch touch screen, smartphone connectivity, a Wi-Fi hotspot and four USB ports come standard.

The seats are comfy in both rows, with room for adults to stretch out even on road trips. The rear seats recline, so whoever is off driving duty can take a nap. Standard adaptive cruise control and lane-keep assist help reduce the fatigue that can come with hours of driving.

2024 Kia Carnival

$33,200 | overall score: 8.5/10.

The 2024 Kia Carnival basically begs you to get the show on the road, and it comes standard with several advanced safety features, including driver-attention monitoring.

The interior is upholstered with easy-to-clean materials, and all three rows have enough room for adults, though the third row is short on headroom. It also has lots of cargo space, even with all three rows in use. An 8-inch touch screen, smartphone compatibility and seven USB ports come standard.

2023 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid

$50,795 | usn overall score: 8.6/10.

The 2023 Chrysler Pacific Hybrid is a plug-in hybrid, so when you reach your destination and charge up, you can drive about 32 miles on electric power alone. Under electric power, this Chrysler gets 82 MPG-equivalent, and gasoline-only driving returns up to 30 mpg on the highway. These are great numbers for a minivan.

There's also a ton of tech included, like a 10.1-inch touch screen, wireless smartphone connectivity and Amazon Alexa compatibility. All three rows of seating have lots of head- and legroom, and there's plenty of storage space. Standard safety features include adaptive cruise control and a surround-view parking camera system.

2023 Ram 1500

$31,270 | usn overall score: 9.0/10.

If your road trip plan involves a camper or boat, you'll want to look into the 2023 Ram 1500 . When properly equipped, it can tow up to 12,750 pounds. As with most pickups, you can configure the 1500 in whatever way works for you.

There are a lot of options and body styles to choose from too, but they all have a spacious, high-quality interior. The availability of safety features and infotainment tech depends on the trim you choose and the options you select, so you can custom-build the road-tripping pickup of your dreams – or the one that fits your budget.

2023 Honda Civic

$23,750 | usn overall score: 8.7/10.

Your road-trip car is probably also your go-to-work-every-day car. The 2023 Honda Civic ably handles both roles. It's one of the best compact cars in its class, and we named it the Best Compact Car for the Money as well as one of the Best Cars for Teens . All of its scores are high, especially when it comes to safety. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave it the Top Safety Pick+ designation.

It's not just safe, it's also thrifty, with up to 42 mpg on the highway. A 7-inch touch screen and smartphone connectivity come standard. It also comes with adaptive cruise control and traffic-sign recognition, which make driving in unfamiliar areas a bit easier.

2023 Ford Mustang

$27,770 | usn overall score: 9.2/10.

Sometimes you want to live the American road trip dream in an impractical sports car. But guess what – the 2023 Ford Mustang is a rather practical sports car with one of the highest overall U.S. News scores. There are several available engines, but sticking with the base turbo-four means an estimated 32 mpg on the highway.

Living the American muscle car fantasy on the open road is best for two people, since the Mustang's rear seats are pretty small. Its standard infotainment system has a 4.2-inch display – not a touch screen – and a Wi-Fi hot spot. Standard safety tech includes automatic emergency braking and lane-keep assist. But maybe most importantly, for purposes of the dream, the Mustang is available as a convertible.

Road Trip Car Characteristics

Passenger space : People turn cranky when they aren't comfortable after hours on the road. There needs to be space for everyone to stretch out.

Cargo space : At the very minimum, you'll be bringing luggage along and maybe also camping gear or tubes for floating the river. Make sure there's space for your gear.

Fuel economy : Stopping for gas on a road trip can get expensive. Fuel efficiency, particularly from hybrid powertrains, can ease the pain of stopping at the pump.

Infotainment : An AM/FM radio is no longer sufficient for most people. An infotainment system that's easy to use while driving and can connect to smartphones is key.

Safety tech : Driving long distances causes fatigue, and fatigue causes accidents. Modern driver-assistance features can help you stay alert and in your lane.

Reliability : No one wants to be the car in the breakdown lane while on their road trip. A good predicted reliability score shows that a particular model has on average been a solid performer over time.

13 Best Adventure Cars & Vehicles for Outdoor Enthusiasts

Posted by Arthur McMahon July 03, 2019 Updated March 02, 2023

We research, test and evaluate outdoor gear based on a number of factors, including our writers’ experience and expertise, trusted user reviews and more. We may earn a commission when you make a purchase through our links. See our editorial policy to learn more.

Embarking upon the road toward your next adventure can be as exciting as the trail itself.

There’s a certain amount of excitement, like electricity in the air, that comes with sorting out your gear and stowing it in your vehicle as you prepare for the journey ahead.

The best adventure vehicles are smooth on the highway, capable of traversing uneven terrain, and can hold their own during a wicked storm. As outdoor enthusiasts, we’re prepared to tackle whatever mother nature throws our way, and we need vehicles that can match our gusto.

Along with that dirt-worthy capability, our vehicles also need to be practical. For many of us, our weekend warrior adventure vehicles are also our daily drivers. Comfort, safety, and storage capacity are just as important as grip on gravel roads.

That’s why modern crossovers and SUVs make the most sense for many adventure seekers and outdoor enthusiasts. They’re well-rounded machines, though a select few are far more off-road ready than the rest of the pack.

We’ve put together this guide to help you choose your next outdoor ride, whether you’re driving to your next treehouse Airbnb or hitting dirt roads to your favorite Arizona swimming holes . There are a few key aspects you should consider when purchasing your next adventure vehicle, such as those we’ve detailed below, and we’ve compiled a list of our favorite crossovers and SUVs to give you a head start on your search.

Good luck finding the best adventure vehicle to fit your lifestyle!

Nowadays, the terms All Wheel Drive (AWD) and Four Wheel Drive (4WD) are interchangeable with one another as far as vehicle marketing is concerned. At their core, both systems transmit the engine’s power to all four wheels via either electronically or mechanically locking differentials.

Locking differentials allow a vehicle to distribute the engine’s torque specifically to the wheels that have traction. A locking center differential enables the vehicle to split torque as needed between the front and rear axles while locking front and rear differentials can split that torque to the left or right wheels as needed.

In vehicles where all differentials can be locked, 100% of the engine’s power can be applied to a single wheel in the event that the other three wheels have all lost traction.

Mechanically locking differentials create solid, physical locks that allow this to occur, whereas electronic systems use brake-actuated locks and torque vectoring to power all four wheels individually.

Though mechanical systems remain a bit more capable than electronic systems, the real difference between AWD and 4WD systems comes into full view when 4WD Low gearing is employed in a vehicle.

The benefit to low gear ranges is that an engine’s torque is multiplied, allowing for more control and power at slow speeds. Low gears enable better crawling speeds and contribute to an even distribution of power across all four wheels which can be useful in slippery conditions such as mud, snow, and loose sand.

Ground Clearance

This is what separates sedans from crossovers, among other things. Your vehicle’s ground clearance is the space between the car’s underbody and the dirt. Better ground clearance means you can drive over bigger rocks and dirt mounds without scraping your vehicle’s undercarriage.

This is why people lift their trucks. Not only can you clear a pumpkin patch full of plump gourds with enough ground clearance, but it also allows you more room for bigger tires (which can increase your clearance even further), and it improves your approach and departure angles which are vital for driving across uneven terrain.

Proper Tires

Far and away the most important aspect of any vehicle’s off-road or foul weather capability is its tires. Your vehicle’s tires are where the power meets the pavement (or dirt), and they’re the only part of your vehicle that is actually keeping you on the road. Most vehicles come equipped with summer or all-season tires that are awful in mud and snow.

A FWD Toyota Camry with proper winter tires will handle much better in the snow than an AWD Subaru Outback with all-season tires. Every vehicle that sees winter snow or consistent freezing rain should equip a proper set of winter tires for maximum capability and safety during the proper time of year.

The same can be said for your adventure vehicle that sees dirt, mud, and rocks every weekend. Your summer tires aren’t going to cut it out beyond where the pavement ends. No matter your vehicle, make sure it’s wearing a good set of all-terrain or mud tires if it often sees the dirt.

Recommended Equipment

Despite proper ground clearance and tires, you still may find yourself stuck out in the wilderness where few others will see you. It’s best to be prepared for every adventure, even if you’re only driving a few miles down a dirt road to your favorite trailhead.

Self-recovery is a vital skill that every driver who ventures off the beaten path should be prepared to employ.

A versatile tire repair kit can save your weekend when a flat tire would have otherwise stranded you in the middle of nowhere. A tire repair kit’s safety seals and tire plugs can get you going again in no time flat. At the very least you should carry an emergency can of Fix-A-Flat to get yourself out of a rut and back onto the main road.

Sometimes you won’t have a flat tire, but you’ll be stuck anyway. A set of traction mats are worth their weight in gold whenever the dirt road turns slick. Every experienced off-road driver keeps a set of traction mats in their vehicle for whenever they turn off the pavement.

And perhaps the handiest piece of equipment you can carry is a jump starter with an integrated air compressor like this powerhouse from DieHard .

Jumper cables alone will do you no good when you’re the only person for miles around. A jump starter will breathe life back into your vehicle, pump up your tires, and act as a battery that can charge your smartphones, laptops, and other devices.

The Best Adventure Cars & Vehicles

The truth is that just about any vehicle can get you to 90% of the best hiking trails in any national forest or national park, but just because a Honda Civic is capable of hauling you and your fishing gear to a backwoods lake doesn’t mean that it’s the best vehicle to do so.

In the event of bad weather or unexpected off road hazards, you’re going to want a vehicle that is capable of safely maneuvering over and around obstacles so that you can get back home.

While there are other vehicles that are totally capable of getting you out into the wilds beyond, we believe these are the best SUVs and crossovers that offer not only the most off road ability, but also the most practicality for adventurous people, their dogs, and their families.

All of the vehicles in this list will be able to get you to 98% of the trailheads you seek, but those near the bottom of this list can carry you to incredibly remote places that few vehicles could ever hope to reach. Make sure you read to the end to see our top-tier adventure vehicles.

1. Volkswagen Golf Alltrack

The Golf Alltrack is Volkswagen’s answer for outdoorsy people who live active lifestyles. VW’s impressive and capable 4motion AWD system comes standard on this lifted station wagon that sports 6.9 inches of ground clearance and composite cladding which protect the lower bits of the car from trail damage.

Praised for its sporty handling, fast-shifting DSG transmission, and responsive steering feel, the Alltrack is perhaps the most fun on road vehicle on this list.

With decent off road credentials, this is a good vehicle choice as a dual-purpose commuter car with a little bit of sporty spunk that can haul a boatload of gear to the campground on the weekends. Beware venturing beyond rutted dirt roads and plowed sno-parks as the Alltrack does have its limits.

2. Subaru Outback

Be honest, you knew the Outback was going to make it onto this list. Subaru has a decades-long reputation of building supremely capable and fuel-efficient vehicles that secretly would love to have John Muir quotes tattooed onto their tailpipes. I can see it now. “The mountains are calling, and I must go.”

Lump the Subaru Forester and Ascent into this listing as well since they’re all equally as capable as the Outback. Fit with 8.7 inches of ground clearance and Subaru’s proprietary X-Mode AWD system, each of these adventurous vehicles can travel far beyond what any other sedan or wagon is capable.

Starting in 2020, Outback’s will be set upon a sturdier frame that is equipped with a more powerful engine and an advanced 2-tier X-Mode that improves the vehicles off road prowess.

3. Toyota Rav4 Adventure

Set as a direct competitor to the Outback, the Toyota Rav4 Adventure is a compact crossover with a go-anywhere-attitude in its heart. It has 8.6 inches of ground clearance and just as much body cladding as the Outback or Alltrack, but it also features a more robust AWD system.

There are six different modes in its Multi-Terrain Select AWD system. Choose from snow, mud, sand, and other options to prepare the AWD tech for the terrain you are traversing.

Additionally, the Rav4 Adventure is the first vehicle on this list to utilize torque-vectoring power rather than brake-actuated torque transfer — meaning that the AWD system sends additional power directly to the wheels that need it, rather than using the brakes on slipping wheels so that the engine’s power is transferred to the wheels that can most use it. This is more efficient and it’ll save you money on brakes in the long run.

4. Jeep Renegade Trailhawk

The first Jeep on our list, the Renegade Trailhawk is truly at the top of the subcompact crossover segment as far as off road capability is concerned. Jeep’s Active Drive AWD system is lightyears ahead of the competition with advanced terrain-management that other vehicles simply cannot compete with.

Protective skid plates, tow hooks, and 8.7 inches of ground clearance round out this baby Jeep’s class-leading features. The Trailhawk trim also is equipped with a 4WD Lock ability that mimics an actual low range by locking the vehicle into first gear, giving the vehicle a 20:1 crawl ratio that’ll make rock climbing a cinch.

Did I mention that this cute little ‘ute can ford up to 19 inches of water? It can splash through puddles and cross streams like nobody’s business, allowing you to travel deeper into the backcountry than most other vehicles could ever attempt.

5. Honda Passport

When the words “practical” and “vehicle” are both mentioned in the same sentence, it’s also a sure bet that “Honda” will also make its way in before the period hits its mark. The Honda Passport is an expectedly practical vehicle that’ll suit urban living as good as any other, and it’ll also handle moderate offroading like a champ.

The AWD versions of the Passport receive a modest 8.4 inches of ground clearance, and that comes backed with a supremely capable AWD system that can send up to 70% of engine power to the rear axle and transfer all of that power to a single rear wheel if necessary.

Ultimately, the ground clearance is the limiting factor with the Passport. This vehicle is able to drive over anything it can get a wheel on top of and it has cargo capacity like that of moving truck. There’s so much room!

6. Kia Telluride

Those with big families or way too much gear should look at the Kia Telluride as their next adventure-ready steed. This big, three-row SUV sits on top of 8 inches of ground clearance and a fully locking center differential.

We’re getting mechanical, baby! That center locking differential allows for full power split between the front and rear axles while electronic sensors dictate and manage side-to-side torque split. Under the hood, the 8-speed transmission is home to such steep gearing that no low range is necessary to take this big boy where it wants to go.

The Telluride has no skid plates, so underbody damage is a real threat, but as long as you choose your driving lines carefully this Kia will take you places that many other SUVs dare not go.

7. Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk

Now we’re beginning to step into the big leagues. There are other trims of the Jeep Cherokee with as much off road capability as the previous vehicles on this list, but the Trailhawk has a true 4WD Low Range and a locking rear differential that together make it a true off roader capable of crawling over almost anything.

This isn’t the biggest vehicle on our list, nor the cheapest, but if you want an SUV that feels truly stable and capable on just about any surface, the Cherokee Trailhawk is the one for you. Those who crave an abundance of cargo room need not apply.

Like the other Trailhawks on our list, tow hooks and skid plates are abound. 8.7 inches of ground clearance is enough for most anything besides hardcore Moab-esque rock crawling, and the low range with lockable differential can get you out of nearly any sticky situation.

Big daddy Jeep rolls in with an adjustable air suspension that is supremely comfortable over bumpy dirt roads and raises the vehicle to a maximum 10.8 inches of ground clearance.

There are options galore to choose from for the Jeep Grand Cherokee. Whereas the other Jeep crossovers require the Trailhawk trim to become truly off road capable, the Grand Cherokee has capability up the wazoo in a number of choice trims.

You’ll be able to choose from Trailhawk to Overland editions, from V8 to diesel power, and a wealth of terrain management systems, locking differentials, and other off road goodies. This Jeep is the most livable of them all with plenty of interior space and cargo room for all of your camping companions and their gear.

9. Toyota Land Cruiser

History shows that the Toyota Land Cruiser is the king of overlanding. The vehicle’s outstanding reliability and capability are unquestioned.

Over the years, the Land Cruiser has lost some of its legendary off road prowess in favor of some luxury accoutrements, but it’s still a worthy expedition vehicle that just so happens to be loaded with creature comforts.

With just about 9 inches of ground clearance and 90 square feet of cargo capacity, the Land Cruiser is quite a beast, but that’s part of what makes it so town to trailhead capable. You can store everything you need, and with a true low range and locking differential, you’ll get where you’re going with no problem, albeit slowly.

Advanced automatic crawl control will help you inch up and down sketchy hills as you lumber about on your way to the trail. The heft of the Land Cruiser, paired with its lofty air suspension, creates a level of ride comfort so relaxing, even on harsh dirt roads, that you’ll step out onto the trail feeling like you’ve just woken from the best sleep of your life.

10. Land Rover Range Rover

If price factors into your definition of practicality, you’re starting to realize that these supremely capable and comfortable off road machines are starting to get supremely expensive. Though, other than price, the Range Rover is a wonderfully practical SUV that is arguably the pinnacle of town to trailhead vehicles.

Luxury in town, and capability in the wilderness. What more could you ask for? Yes, you could request a lower price, but that’s what Jeeps are for, silly!

Speaking of Jeeps, the Range Rover is highly configurable like the Grand Cherokee. You get to choose just how in town or out of town capable the rig really is, but all in all this is a stupendous off road machine with excellent ground clearance, wheel articulation, low range gearing, and an assortment of other goodies.

11. Toyota 4Runner

The Toyota 4Runner is quietly becoming the classic American adventure vehicle. The rest of the world gets the highly-acclaimed mountain-conquering Toyota Hilux, while here in the States we are instead gifted the step-child 4Runner who shies away from the limelight and performs like a workhorse regardless of recognition.

For the price, this is the best overlanding vehicle in North America. Incredible off road prowess is paired with substantial cargo space, ample people space, renowned reliability, and a smooth highway ride.

Simple in design, though feature-rich with nifty goodies like hill descent control and a power tailgate window, the Toyota 4Runner is essentially a pickup truck with an enclosed bed. Our list doesn’t feature trucks, so the 4Runner holds the responsibility of representing them all under its hood, but it does so with pride, and it represents them well.

12. Mercedes-Benz G-Class

The G-Wagen is internationally known as a celebrity-driven sparkly city SUV, but it’s actually one of the most capable vehicles for sale today, and worth every penny of its incredibly high price tag.

Newly redesigned for 2019, the G-Class has kept the retro boxy SUV look of its previous generation while updating every other aspect of the vehicle to contemporary comfort and safety standards.

Three locking differentials, a low gear range, incredibly refined computers, and great ground clearance make this one of the most direct-from-the-dealership capable vehicles ever made.

Its design also lends to ample storage space and an assortment of high-tech creature comforts that you cannot find in less expensive vehicles. Honestly, this is one of the best trail vehicles around. No joke!

13. Jeep Wrangler

The Grand Poobah of the offroad world, the Jeep Wrangler is the ultimate go absolutely anywhere vehicle. Practicality has been a hard sell for Wranglers of the past, but the newly redesigned Wranglers, especially the four-door Unlimited models, are absolutely practical for outdoor enthusiasts of all types.

Wranglers were once notorious for their harsh highway ride, but that has been fixed in the latest generation. All Wrangler models have grown in size, too, increasing their ability to carry people and cargo.

Because the Wrangler has the largest aftermarket modification market of any vehicle in the world there is a never-ending list of ways to trick out your Wrangler to make it your ideal trail-finding vehicle. Add in all of the off road ability, cargo capacity, and long-term livability you need one piece at a time. It’s like your own adventure vehicle Lego set.

10 Best Road-Trip Vehicles That You Can Buy Right Now

CR's tests show that these are the best road-trip models across popular categories

Finding the perfect road-trip vehicle means striking a balance among many factors, such as front and rear seat comfort, space, fuel economy, ride quality, and noise. It also should be a vehicle that’s easy to live with when you’re not traveling, and with strong safety and reliability. That is a lot to ask of a single vehicle, but our analysts have scrutinized our test and survey data to find the best road-trip vehicles in 10 popular categories.

To find the standouts, we considered all those factors among models that meet the stringent criteria to be recommended by Consumer Reports . Each vehicle below scores at least average in those factors, plus they provide 500 miles or more of highway cruising range, based on our fuel-economy tests. They also have a sizable trunk or cargo area, based on our measurements. Because of the qualification needed to make a great long-distance runner, we omitted subcompact SUVs and small cars. We also list suitable alternatives, where possible.

All the vehicles featured here, except the Buick, come standard with forward collision warning (FCW) and automatic emergency braking (AEB) with pedestrian detection. (The advanced safety systems are optional on the Buick.)

The 10 models below are road-trip warriors, based on CR data. You can assemble your own list with CR ratings by using our A-to-Z guide . If you’re a Consumer Reports member, the full list is available to you here.

The 10 Best Road Trip Cars for Open-Road Adventures

By: Tim Huber Published: Aug 16, 2023

In 1956, the U.S. government passed the Federal-Aid Highway Act, allocating $26B to construct an initial 41,000-mile interstate network . In response to the network’s construction, countless restaurants, motels, and roadside attractions would pop up along these now-iconic highways in order to cater to automotive travelers — ultimately kicking off a grand and long-held tradition of road tripping that’s as American as baseball or apple pie.

And while there are plenty of factors that can have an enormous impact on the overall quality of your time spent on the road — such as your starting point, ultimate destination, travel companions, and budget — the single biggest variable is undoubtedly one’s choice of ride. With the exception of a handful of new EVs , practically every car currently in production is more than capable of taking on cross-country touring duties, however, there’s a shortlist of models that objectively lend themselves to road-tripping far better than anything else on the market. And it’s this crop of vehicles that we’ll be exploring today in this guide to the best road trip cars you can buy — delving into the most capable long-distance cars available, along with what factors and qualities make a model ideal for long-haul travel.

What Factors Make For An Ideal Road Trip Car?

Though there are clearly several blatant areas to explore when buying a road trip-focused car — such as range, comfort, and cargo space — there’s also a myriad of less obvious, though still massively important elements to take into consideration when shopping in this space. Below, we’ll briefly touch on seven of the most pivotal areas to think about prior to pulling the trigger on your purchase.

Range: Though most of the world’s major highway networks are littered with gas stations and service shops, the reality is that having to exit the freeway and pull over every other hour to fill up isn’t exactly convenient, which is why a car’s range (on a single tank) is of such importance. At the very least, you’ll want a vehicle that affords several hundred miles of autonomy between trips to the pump. This area is even more important for electric cars , as — despite there being close to ten million charging stations scattered across the planet — there are far more gas stations than EV chargers. As such, you’ll not only want to review an EV’s range, but also the charging network that’s available for said EV.

Comfort: Being comfortable in a car is obviously important, though this factor matters far more when dealing with road trip cars, as drivers — and their passenger(s) — typically spend hours at a time inside the cabin of these vehicles. Consequently, this makes a given car’s comfortability level of extreme significance. And while there are dozens of factors that contribute to how comfortable a car is, some of the more important elements to consider are the seats, their construction and upholstery, their level of adjustability, and whether they offer heating, cooling, or massage functions. Additional areas like dual climate control and robust soundproofing can also hugely up a car’s comfortability.

Amenities: While there’s no denying that comfort is a hugely important area when dealing with road trip cars, there are nonetheless a handful of additional features that can very much bolster one’s enjoyment during long-range drives. Alongside amenities like touchscreen infotainment setups and moon/sunroofs, there are also features like web browsers and connectivity to streaming services that can enhance the users’ experience. Likewise, most of today’s best road trip cars also pack advanced suites of electronic driver assists such as forward collision warning and avoidance systems, lane keep assist, blindspot monitoring, and adaptive cruise control, just to name a few. Some brands also offer supplementary amenities, like Tesla, which sells cars equipped with features like “Caraoke,” HEPA filtration systems, and of course, the American automaker’s state-of-the-art autopilot system.

Storage: The longer the road trip, the more gear the driver will typically need. As such, the amount of cargo space afforded by a particular vehicle is of utmost importance, as roomier rides will boast more internal real estate for stashing bags and equipment. And, though this is clearly a crucial area to consider when reviewing cars for road trips, it is worth pointing out that one can always supplement a car’s internal square footage with a roof rack or rooftop cargo box, though this option is obviously less convenient — and will often slightly mitigate fuel — or battery — consumption. You’ll also likely want to consider how many people the car seats, as well as how much cargo space is available for each passenger’s bags and gear. Backseat legroom is also a crucial area to consider when reviewing this element.

Reliability & Service Intervals: The reality is that the vast majority of new cars are incredibly reliable and should have no issue driving cross country several times over. With that said, there are some models with better reputations when it comes to overall reliability. Additionally, if you plan to use this vehicle for extensive road-tripping, you’ll also want to look into the model’s required service intervals, as these figures can hugely vary. And, whether it’s a road trip car or a daily commuter — or even a motorcycle — it’s always worth looking into whether any recalls have been issued for a particular model.

Manufacturer & Dealer Support: When going on a road trip, not only is it important to review how often a car needs to be serviced but also where it can be serviced, as some makes will boast a markedly more robust dealership and support network should you need a part repaired or replaced. This extends to areas like the availability of roadside assistance offered by a marque. It’s also worth pointing out that rarer and more exotic models will make for a much more difficult time sourcing replacement parts – as it’s not that hard to find a replacement component for a BMW car just about anywhere in the country, though the same can’t be said for models from brands like Bentley or Aston Martin.

Drivetrain & Performance: Unlike commuting where the main objective is simply to get from A to B, long-range road-tripping is all about enjoying the journey and embracing the open road. As such, having a car that affords a more spirited driving experience makes for a markedly more enjoyable time behind the wheel, which is why reviewing a model’s engine is so important. Alongside the engine configuration itself, you’ll also want to check out its aspiration type and displacement — as well as horsepower and torque figures, 0-60mph times, and top speeds. A car’s suspension package is another crucial area to consider, as it will directly impact a model’s overall handling, as well as the smoothness of the ride. Quite a few cars also offer the best of both worlds with adjustable air ride suspension setups that can be lowered for spirited runs through the canyons, or raised back up for ultra-smooth and plush freeway travel.

Long-Haul Legends

The Best Road Trip Cars Currently On The Market

Now that you’re up to speed on what areas to take into consideration when shopping, let’s get into our picks for the finest and most well-appointed new road trip cars that are currently available on showroom floors.

An affordably-priced, rugged and spacious wagon with raised roof rails, 8.7” of ground clearance, & Subaru’s Starlink multimedia package all as standard.

Best Affordable Pick: One of the most versatile vehicles currently on the market, the latest generation Subaru Outback is a fantastic road trip car with seating for five, more than 75 cubic feet of cargo space, and an optional turbocharged 2.4-liter boxer engine. With features like 9.5” of ground clearance and asymmetrical all-wheel drive as standard, the Outback is also capable of some light off-roading duties .

Engine: Turbocharged 2.4L Boxer Four or NA 2.5L Boxer Four Power: 260HP & 277FT-LBs or 182HP & 176FT-LBs Cargo Space: 75.7 Cubic feet Range: 600+ Miles Seats: 5 MSRP: $28,895

A road-focused variant of Ford’s revived retro-inspired SUV that still packs Hoss suspension & cutting-edge electronics.

Best Retro-Inspired: One of the most anticipated new models from the last decade, Ford’s revived Bronco platform is a 4×4 vehicle that comes with more than 65 cubic feet of cargo space, an advanced electronics package, Hoss suspension, and nearly 9” of ground clearance. Sold in a variety of trim levels, the Sport-spec Bronco was also intentionally designed to be as modular as possible — an area furthered by the absolutely enormous range of factory accessories offered for the American SUV .

Engine: Turbocharged 1.5L Inline-Three or Turbocharged 2.0L Inline Four Power: 181HP & 190FT-LBs or 250HP & 277FT-LBs Cargo Space: 65.2 Cubic Feet Range: 416 Miles Seats: 5 MSRP: $31,230

An Abarth-specFiat 124 Spyder with a Garrett turbo, Bilstein shocks, & Brembo brakes all as standard.

Best Two-Door: Sharing its platform with the Mazda Miata, the Fiat 124 Spyder is the definition of a true driver’s car , standing as a peppy open-top roaster that can be had for a reasonable price. For those less concerned with cost, the company also makes the Abarth 124GT — a limited-edition variant with a Garrett Turbocharged engine, a dedicated sport mode, Bilstein shocks, Brembo brakes, 17” alloy wheels, special race seats, and a GT-specific slate gray livery. Sadly, the GT-spec isn’t offered on American shores, unlike the base model 124.

Engine: Turbocharged 1.5L Inline-Four Power: 170HP & 184.4FT-LBs Cargo Space: 4.94 Cubic Feet Range: 535 Miles Seats: 2 MSRP: $44,085

A luxurious Swedish-made hybrid mid-sized SUV with a more than 500-mile range per tank.

Best Long-Range Pick: A plug-in hybrid version of Volvo’s mid-sized SUV, the XC60 Recharge is a wildly-advanced vehicle that boasts features like best-in-class navigation, an optional Bowers & Wilkins sound system, a built-in Google smart assistant, and a state-of-the-art onboard air filter. Equipped with an all-wheel-drive setup, the five-seater’s turbocharged 2.0-liter hybrid inline-four generates more than 450hp and 523ft-lbs of torque, allowing for a machine that’s equal parts comfortable and exhilarating.

Engine: Turbocharged 2.0L Hybrid Inline-Four Power: 455HP & 523FT-LBs Cargo Space: 63.3 Cubic Feet Range: 520 Miles (or 32 Battery Only) Seats: 5 MSRP: $57,900

A revived take on Jeep’s legendary full-sized luxury SUV that sports a 6.4L V8, an AWD system, & over 116 cubic feet of storage space.

Best Full-Size SUV: First unveiled in March of last year, the Jeep Grand Wagoneer is a revived full-size SUV that, like the original model, offers the pinnacle of comfort and class. Returning after 30 years out of production, the Grand Wagoneer comes with quilted Palermo leather seats, a 6.4L V8 mated to one of three AWD systems, over 116 cubic feet of storage and cargo space, a 10,000lb towing capacity, and an ultra-top shelf McIntosh MX950 Entertainment System — all as standard fare.

Engine: 6.4L V8 Power: 470HP & 455FT-LBs Cargo Space: 116.7 Cubic Feet Range: 477 Miles Seats: 7 MSRP: $91,140

An ultra-potent family-hauler & grocery getter with a 621-hp bi-turbo V8 offering 3.3-second 0-60 runs and a 190-mph top speed.

Best Sport Wagon: The Audi RS 6 Avant is an ultra-high-performance sleeper that’s conducive to everything from track days to family-hauling duties to road trips. Alongside RS-spec components and wheels, this highly up-specced model comes adorned in a slammed stance with a full aero kit, a carbon trim package, nearly 60 cubic feet of cargo space, and, most importantly, a 621-hp 4.0-liter bi-turbo V8 that enables this elite sport wagon to achieve a 3.3-second 0-60mph time and a top speed of 190mph.

Engine: Twin-Turbocharged 4.0L V8 Power: 621HP & 627FT-LBs Cargo Space: 59.3 Cubic Feet Range: 425 Miles Seats: 5 MSRP: $125,800

A streamlined, 911-inspired shooting brake-style version of Porsche’s mighty new fully-electric four-door.

Best EV: Marking the Stuttgart firm’s first-ever all-electric offering, the Taycan GTS Sport Turismo is unequivocally one of the very best road trip cars currently in production. It offers an incredibly smooth ride, an impressive 300-mile range, and a decent amount of cargo space thanks to the extended sport back. Thanks to an ultra-potent 440kW EV powertrain setup and Overboost power with a launch control function, the GTS Sport Turismo-spec Taycan can reach 60mph from a standstill in 3.5 seconds flat.

Engine: Dual Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors Power: 440kW (590HP) & 626FT-LBs Cargo Space: 42.8 Cubic Feet Range: 313 Miles Seats: 5 MSRP: $141,200

A 612-hp ALPINA-tuned & upgraded grand touring car based on BMW’s already luxurious & thoroughly-capable 8 Series.

Best Grand-Tourer: While to the average observer, this road trip car may just look like a BMW 8 Series, those in the know are well aware of the ultra-top-shelf exotics offered by famed tuning outfit ALPINA. This high-end grand tourer’s ALPINA transformation includes 21″ ALPINA wheels, ALPINA 4-wheel ventilated disc brakes, an ALPINA Aerodynamic Kit, an ALPINA Sport suspension package with twin-tube gas-pressure shocks, double-wishbone multi-link aluminum suspension in front, and an integral-V multi-link aluminum setup in the rear, and an interior with ALPINA Lavalina leather steering wheel, engraved glass controls, and a unique digital instrument cluster. Finally, at the heart of this car is a 4.4-liter bi-turbo V8 that’s been tuned by ALPINA to produce 612hp and 590ft-lbs of torque.

Engine: Twin-Turbocharged 4.4L V8 Power: 612HP & 590FT-LBs Cargo Space: 15.5 Cubic Feet (Trunk Only) Range: 432 Miles Seats: 5 MSRP: $149,300

A hybrid-boosted bi-turbo 4.0-liter V8-powered version of Bentley’s normally V12-powered flagship model that retains its world-class luxury.

Best Hybrid Pick: The Bentley Flying Spur has long been one of the most luxurious and well-optioned cars on the market, making it an objectively fantastic choice for road-tripping — assuming you can swing its fairly exorbitant MSRP. However, last summer, the famed British firm rolled out a new version of the car that sees its usual V12 and V8 engine options swapped out in favor of a hybrid-boosted bi-turbo 4.0-liter V8 that makes 542hp and 568ft-lbs of torque and allows for a top speed of 177mph and a 0-60mph time of just 4.1-seconds. This hybrid luxury car also offers a range of 435 miles — or an all-electric range of 25 miles, if you want to go green for a portion of your trip.

Engine: Twin-Turbocharged 2.9L Hybrid V6 Power: 542HP & 568FT-LBs Cargo Space: 12.4 Cubic Feet (Trunk Only) Range: 435 Miles (or 25 Miles Battery Only) Seats: 5 MSRP: $210,600

A 707-hp mid-sized SUV boasting genuine supercar-grade performance with a 193-mph top speed & a 3.3-second 0-60 time.

Best Mid-Sized SUV: First unveiled in early February of 2022, the Aston Martin DBX707 represents the world’s most powerful luxury SUV . Taking its name from its 707-hp output, the DBX707 is another ultra-high-end vehicle that boasts a unique mix of world-class comfort and performance. Alongside a 360-mile range and a decent amount of cargo space, the DBX707 also packs a 4.0-liter bi-turbo V8 engine that’s mated to a 9-speed “wet clutch” automatic transmission and allows for 3.3 seconds 0-60mph runs and an impressive top speed of 193mph — a fairly insane figure considering this is an SUV.

Engine: Twin-Turbocharged 4.0L V8 Power: 707HP & 664FT-LBs Cargo Space: 54 Cubic Feet Range: 360 Miles Seats: 5 MSRP: $236,000

The Best Road Trip Cars From Every Category

When "Head out on the highway" is more than just a line from a song to you, these are the cars to buy.

Civic Hatchback

Embarking on an epic road trip adventure requires the perfect companion, and selecting the ideal car for the journey can significantly impact your experience. In an era where sustainability and efficiency take center stage, the realm of road trip vehicles has transformed. From the ever-expanding array of electric vehicles to power-oriented marvels, the choices have never been more exhilarating. The question is simple: What is the best car for long-distance driving?

That's a loaded question, so today, we'll explore the best road trip cars in 10 different segments, guiding you through options that guarantee comfort, dependability, and the freedom to navigate extensive distances effortlessly. Whether plotting a picturesque coastal drive, a cross-country odyssey, or a quick weekend escape, these road trip-ready vehicles will enhance the journey, and perhaps even the destination. Prepare to embark on your open-road adventure with unwavering confidence as we unveil the top contenders in the domain of road-trip cars.

The Hatchback: 2024 Honda Civic Hatch

The latest Civic Hatchback keeps its enjoyable driving dynamics intact despite being a more grown-up car than any Civic before it. In base form, its 2.0-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder produces an ample 158 horsepower and 138 lb-ft of torque, while a turbocharged 1.5-liter ups the stakes to 180 hp and 177 lb-ft. Plus, if you're still of the old-school persuasion and like to be in control of the experience, you can get a six-speed manual gearbox in the Sport and Sport Touring trims - or a CVT if you prefer to relax.

With combined EPA ratings of up to 35 mpg in turbo guise and 33 mpg in base form, the Civic is light on gas, and starting at an MSRP of $24,950, it's light on your bank account from the get-go.

Combine its mechanical attributes with a spacious cabin and large trunk (24.5 cubic feet behind the rear seats), and it's a winner already. Factor in a full suite of connectivity options like a seven-inch touchscreen and matching digital gauge cluster (nine- and 10.2 inches respectively on the Sport Touring), and you have one of the most complete long-distance vehicles on the market and a perfect family road trip car.

The Crossover: 2024 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid

This fuel-efficient road trip car boasts a hybrid system, achieving an impressive 38 mpg combined EPA rating. The hybrid powertrain comprises a 1.6-liter turbo four-cylinder with electric augmentation, paired to a six-speed automatic gearbox, producing 226 hp and 258 lb-ft.

Whether traveling with a full crew or just a few, the standard all-wheel drive ensures surefootedness over any surface and in any climate through sun, snow, and rain.

Ideal for family road trips, it boasts a comfortable and spacious interior equipped with rear USB ports and a 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Five seats with ample rear legroom enhance the appeal of this compact crossover, and its generous 38.7-cu-ft trunk accommodates all your gear. You can use all five seats, or drop the 60:40-split rear seats to carry larger items. Starting at $32,325, the Tucson Hybrid ticks all the right boxes .

The Sports Car: 2024 Mustang GT Coupe

While there may be many options in contention for the title of the best sports car , we maintain when it comes to road trips, the Mustang has them all soundly beaten. A new generation has arrived for 2024, sporting updated styling and a new fighter jet-inspired interior with larger infotainment and digital gauge cluster screens.

Under the hood, the 5.0-liter Coyote V8 has been upgraded and now produces 36 hp more in the 2024 Mustang GT than the old model, totaling 486 hp. It comes with a six-speed manual transmission or an optional 10-speed auto, which may be better suited to long-distance cruising.

Should the road get twisty on your journey, the Mustang GT's combination of power, noise, and agility means an entertaining road trip is in the cards, and the supportive Recaro front seats hold you in place comfortably. Ample rear legroom - yes, it's a four-seater sports car - and a 13.5 cubic foot trunk make it practical too, and since you can get it as a coupe or a convertible, it's perfect for summer road trips.

The Wagon: 2024 Volvo V60 Cross Country

The Volvo V60 Cross Country excels in various aspects such as space, speed, off-road capability, etc. This versatile vehicle is a gem for road trips and an overall top-tier option. Sporting 26 mpg combined from a 250-hp 2.0-liter turbocharged engine with an eight-speed automatic gearbox, its raised ground clearance and AWD give it the ability to tackle dirt roads without the hefty fuel economy of traditional SUVs.

It comes fully equipped with advanced safety features, including a rear cross-traffic alert system and traffic sign recognition, plus semi-autonomous highway driving capabilities. A five-star overall safety rating from the NHTSA backs this up and ensures a safe road trip for the whole family.

It boasts an available Wi-Fi hotspot, enhancing connectivity on your journeys and keeping the kids occupied, and its spacious interior means they'll be comfortable for hours. 22.5 cubic feet of trunk space will accommodate suitcases, tents, and more; if you need extra, the fold-down rear seats let you accommodate even more. Additionally, you can add a roof-mounted bicycle rack, perfect for those with an active lifestyle, making it one of the best cars for road-tripping.

The Minivan: 2023 Chrysler Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid

The $51,095 Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid harmoniously blends gas and electric power, catering to road trips with its ample combination of cargo space, people space, and frugality. Furnished with a 3.6-liter V6 augmented by electric power, it produces 260 hp. It lays down this power through a front-wheel drivetrain. If you want AWD, you can have it, but that would require the non-hybrid Pacifica.

Spacious with seating for eight occupants, it looks after the family with advanced safety features like emergency braking, forward collision warning, lane assist, and blind spot monitoring. There's versatility aplenty with Stow 'n Go seating that avails additional cargo space without physically having to remove seats from the minivan, and between 32.3 and 140.5 cubic feet.

A heated steering wheel and three-zome climate control add extra luxury, and the new Pinnacle model adds even more luxury to the road trip experience. The panoramic rearview mirror helps to keep an eye on the kids during the, 'Are we there yet' arguments.

The Truck: 2024 Ford F-150 Raptor

Should road trips in 2023 call for a more 'cross-country' experience, the Ford F-150 Raptor is the only pickup truck for the job. While the allure is strong to go for the TRX-beating Raptor R and its supercharged V8, for road trips, we think the base Raptor is better, thanks to its twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6. Not only do you get 450 hp and 510 lb-ft sent to all corners via a 10-speed automatic gearbox, but you get 15 mpg combined (instead of the R's 12 mpg). You can still tow 8,200 lbs, get a versatile truck bed, and those sweet Fox shocks that can take you to hell and back.

Inside, all F-150 models come with standard features like a 12-inch digital gauge display and Sync 4-enabled infotainment system, soft bucket seats, wireless charging, and 400W USB ports with outlets in both the cab and the bed. It supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. With five seats, ample power, and go-anywhere capability, the F-150 Raptor is a road-trip truck with no equal.

The Full-Size SUV: 2023 Cadillac Escalade

If you need three rows of seats, a body-on-frame chassis, an abundance of passenger and storage space, and supreme luxury, the Cadillac Escalade may be the best road trip SUV there is, even if it does cost a slip more than $80,000.

With a versatile engine lineup including a Duramax diesel six-cylinder (277 hp/460 lb-ft) and a 6.2-liter V8 (420 hp/460 lb-ft), both saddled with a buttery-smooth 10-speed automatic, the Escalade can tow up to 8,200 lbs, meaning you can take everything with you on holiday. The spacious cabin accommodates a ton of cargo, and an available long-wheelbase ESV variant even makes the third row of seating adult-friendly.

The Escalade is loaded with exceptional tech such as the 38-inch diagonal OLED display encompassing instrumentation and infotainment, and a full-color head-up display. Super Cruise hands-free driving making long-distance trips on the highway a cinch, too.

The Grand Tourer: 2024 Lexus LC Hybrid

We've chosen the LC Hybrid for this list, but we wouldn't fault you for picking any of the LC models. The standard variant packs a sonorous naturally aspirated V8 (coupe and convertible), but for covering distance, the LC 500h's 3.5-liter V6 and twin electric motors still packs a 354-hp punch while consuming considerably less fuel at 29 mpg combined vs. the V8's 19 mpg. It looks achingly gorgeous, too. The downside is an electronic CVT, but with the additional torque of the e-motors, and given the laidback cruising nature of the LC, it's a forgivable offense.

Road trip cars typically need big trunks, and the LC falls short here with only 4.7 cubic feet in hybrid form, but with 2+2 seating in which the rear seats aren't suited for passengers, there's plenty of additional storage space in the cabin.

Packed with Lexus' array of safety systems, and now featuring a decent infotainment system , the car is technologically up-to-date and safe for you and a loved one to hit the road and soak up the miles in comfort and luxury.

The Luxury Sedan: 2024 Audi S8

The 2024 Audi S8 redefines the road trip experience with its blend of luxury and performance. Beneath its hood lies a formidable 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine, delivering 563 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque. While everyone knows the Mercedes-AMG S63 in this segment, the Audi S8 is seen as more of a sleeper, an understated performance sedan that can lap up the miles without shouting about its 3.8-second 0-60 mph potential. Combined with the nimbleness of its rear-axle steering and the surefootedness of its all-wheel drive, it's the perfect car for almost any occasion.

Whether you're seated up front or reclining in the massaging rear seats, you're swathed in luxury and cutting-edge technology. Plush leather seats provide a sense of opulence, while the MMI Touch Response infotainment system and onboard Wi-Fi hotspot, ensure seamless connectivity and entertainment throughout your road trips, while an optional rear-seat entertainment system keeps passengers engaged on extended journeys.

The only downside is the $120,600 price tag.

The Convertible: 2023 Porsche 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet

The Porsche Carrera GTS Cabriolet redefines the essence of road trips with its breadth of performance and capability. It's fast, it's comfortable, it's feature-laden, and it even has four seats - what more could you ask for? Beneath its curvaceous exterior lies a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged flat-six engine, delivering 473 hp and 420 lb-ft, and with your choice of rear- or all-wheel drive, you get a 0-60 mph time of under 3.4 seconds and all-weather confidence.

Inside, the Carrera GTS Cabriolet pampers occupants with opulent leather seats and a cutting-edge infotainment system, including the Porsche Communication Management system. For audiophiles, the optional Burmester sound system promises exceptional audio quality, enhancing the soundtrack of your road trip.

With a front cargo area measuring 4.7 cubic feet and rear seats that can double as storage in a pinch, there's plenty of space for your luggage. Then, when the weather is right, a 12-second drop of the top lets you feel the wind in your hair and the sun on your skin. When the journey matters more than the destination, few cars do road trips like the 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet.

10 Best Cars for Road-Tripping on a Budget

By Jane Ulitskaya

Memorial Day kickstarts the summer travel season, and despite record-high gas prices , drivers aren’t willing to sacrifice their annual road trips. According to a Cars.com survey , 82% of Americans traveling over the holiday are planning to drive. But rising fuel prices aren’t the only hurdle for shoppers in the market for a vehicle to accommodate their summer travel plans — higher average prices at the dealership can be just as problematic.

Related: What’s the Best New-Car Deal for May 2022?

The median price of a new vehicle among Cars.com dealers was $39,083 in April, up from $36,370 one year prior. At the same time, the typical manufacturer incentives offered over Memorial Day weekend are significantly scaled back due to inventory constraints. According to a J.D. Power sales report , incentives on new cars shrunk to $1,034 in April — down 66% from April 2021.

Despite these challenges, shoppers looking for an affordable road-trip vehicle that minimizes sticker shock at the pump still have options. We compiled the most affordable and fuel-efficient or fuel-free model-year 2022 cars, SUVs, trucks and electric vehicles for summer adventures (and beyond). To make our list, each vehicle’s starting price is in the top 10 most affordable category for its class. Also, gas-powered options get an EPA-rated combined rating of 30 mpg or more and EVs must get at least 200 miles of EPA-estimated range.

Sedans and hatchbacks make excellent road-trip vehicles for small families and light packers. They are also among the most affordable options on the market and offer generous efficiency even without a hybrid or electric powertrain.

Chevrolet Spark

Topping the list of budget-friendly road-trip vehicles is the most affordable car on the market. Shoppers interested in the Spark need to act fast, however, since GM plans to end the hatchback’s production in August, according to Automotive News . While it may not be long for this world, traveling long distances in the Spark comes with one big perk: a 33 mpg combined EPA-rating . A word of caution, however. Although the Spark can carry up to four occupants, it’ll be a tight fit for those in the backseat. The 2022 Spark LS with an optional continuously variable automatic transmission starts at $15,695 (all prices include destination charge).

Mitsubishi Mirage

The 2022 Mitsubishi Mirage carries a small price premium over the Spark, but it also brings improved fuel efficiency: With an available CVT, the Mirage offers an EPA-rated 39 mpg combined. The Mirage also adds one additional seat in the rear to fit a total of five occupants. Although it can handle a trip to the lake or a staycation around town, the Mirage’s 78-horsepower, 1.2-liter three-cylinder engine paired with the CVT isn’t made for the track — but its handling offers a relatively fun driving experience. The ES hatchback starts at $16,990 and the G4 sedan at $17,990.

If your summer road-trip goals boil down to avoiding jarring road noise and anxiety at the pump, the 2022 Kia Rio delivers on both. Like the Mirage, the Rio seats five and comes in hatchback or sedan variants. The 120-hp, 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine with a CVT gets an EPA-rated 36 mpg combined. Quiet on the highway and with stable handling, the base LX trim comes with an affordable starting price of $17,275. An added bonus is that the Rio gets wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integration.

Shop the 2022 Kia Rio near you

SUVs may come with notably higher starting prices than their car counterparts, but they also carry the added benefits of flexible cargo space and a higher ride height for long summer drives. Choosing from the list of the most affordable SUVs with the highest mpg may check all the boxes in the “practical” category of your shopping list.

Hyundai Kona

For being the most affordable SUV on the market, the Hyundai Kona isn’t short on road-trip-friendly features that include standard automatic emergency braking, hands-on lane centering, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto with wireless connectivity on the base model’s 8-inch touchscreen. In our review of the 2022 model, we also found it engaging to drive — a rarity for the subcompact SUV class. Plus, the Kona’s 147-hp, 2.0-liter four-cylinder and front-wheel drive offer an EPA-rated 32 mpg combined, making it a solid choice for weekend getaways. The gas-powered Kona SE starts at $22,395, while an electric variant is sold in select states with a $35,245 starting price.

Chevrolet Trailblazer

The subcompact Trailblazer was introduced in 2021 and offers a surprisingly fun driving experience despite modest power from the base 137-hp, 1.2-liter three-cylinder. It also brings standard wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity and active-safety features like automatic emergency braking and lane departure warning with steering assist. To make it more adventure-friendly, a trailering package and roof rack crossbars are available factory accessories. The Trailblazer is competitive both in fuel economy and price: It gets an EPA-rated 30 mpg combined with standard FWD and starts at $22,795 for the base LS trim.

Shop the 2022 Chevrolet TrailBlazer near you

One of the HR-V’s best features when it comes to road trips is its versatile and roomy interior: The second row offers more space than most subcompact SUVs, and the multiposition second-row Magic Seat can fold flat to offer competitive cargo space for standard luggage or fold up to accommodate taller items. A 141-hp, 1.8-liter four-cylinder provides power and gets an EPA-rated 30 mpg combined. The base HR-V starts at $23,115; unlike some of its competitors, however, the base model does not offer standard safety features like automatic emergency braking and lane departure warning or Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration.

Shop the 2022 Honda HR-V near you

Ford Maverick

All-new for 2022, the Ford Maverick is the only pickup truck to make the list of efficient road-trip vehicles with a combined rating of 30 mpg or more.

The base Ford Maverick’s standard gas-electric hybrid powertrain makes 191 hp and is paired with a CVT for an EPA-rated 37 mpg combined. Even though it doesn’t match the full-size F-150’s towing or payload capacity, the compact pickup can hold its own on the road thanks to a sizable cargo bed and towing capacity of up to 4,000 pounds with the optional turbocharged 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder. The Maverick has a $21,490 starting price and earned both our Best of the Year 2022 and Best Pickup Truck of 2022 awards.

Electric Vehicles

If avoiding gas stations entirely is your ideal plan, there are a handful of affordable EVs that can accommodate you. But while filling up at a gas station demands only a quick detour off the highway, road trips in a battery-powered vehicle involve more preparation. It’s important to consider the vehicle’s maximum range — most EVs with the longest range are luxury models that don’t overlap with the most affordable options.

This means mapping out public charging stations along the route will be required for longer trips. The top battery-powered vehicles for road trips offer an EPA-estimated range of 200 miles or more and are offered in all 50 states. Additionally, the Nissan Leaf and Kia Niro EV are still eligible for a $7,500 federal tax credit .

Nissan Leaf

The most affordable EV currently available doesn’t just eliminate the concern of rising gas prices, it also bucks the trend of rising vehicle prices. In fact, the 2022 Leaf sees a significant price cut and additional features : the ProPilot Assist safety suite, a 360-degree camera system and a portable Level 2 charging cable. Although the standard Leaf’s 40-kilowatt-hour battery and 147-hp electric motor offer just 149 miles of range per EPA-estimates , the extended-range Leaf Plus brings a more road-trip-worthy 226 miles of range from a 62-kWh battery and 214-hp motor. The standard range Nissan Leaf starts at $28,425, the Leaf Plus at $33,425.

Shop the 2022 Nissan Leaf near you

Chevrolet Bolt EV, Bolt EUV

Like the Leaf, the Bolt EV hatchback also sees a price cut for 2022; its starting price is nearly $5,000 less compared to the outgoing model. The redesigned 2022 Bolt EV gets a new interior, more standard safety tech and an all-new and larger Bolt EUV SUV sibling. Both Bolts are powered by a 65-kWh battery and 200-hp single electric motor, but the hatch gets a range advantage with an EPA-estimated 259 miles, compared to the EUV’s 247-mile range. Despite a rocky start for the 2022s with multiple recalls and stop-sale orders, GM has offered a fix and resumed production . The 2022 Bolt EV starts at $32,495 and the 2022 Bolt EUV at $34,495.

Shop the 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EUV near you

Kia Niro EV

Sold alongside its hybrid and plug-in hybrid counterparts, the Niro EV also shares a powertrain with the related Hyundai Kona Electric; unlike the Kona Electric, however, the Niro EV is available in all 50 states. The Niro also carries advantages over the Kona that include a larger backseat and longer range (the Niro gets an EPA-estimated 239 miles). Although the Niro family sees a redesign for 2023 , the outgoing model still has a lot to offer shoppers, including a competitive starting price of $41,205.

Summer Road-Trip Maintenance and Tips

Whether you’re planning to get a new vehicle or take your trusty old one on a summer road trip, it’s a good idea to make sure the car is ready for the trip. AAA recommends checking the tires and tire pressure ; testing the brakes and the battery; topping off oil and other fluids; checking belts and hoses; checking the air conditioning; and stocking the vehicle with an emergency supply kit .

The EV ownership experience differs from a gas-powered car, especially when planning a road trip. You’ll need to account for the vehicle’s range and map out charging stations along the route if the range is insufficient. Many EVs come with a smartphone app to check the vehicle’s mileage range and battery charge and help you find charging stations on the go; for example, Chevy offers EV Access through its OnStar Connected services for the Bolt EV and EUV, and a similar app is offered for the Nissan Leaf through NissanConnect EV Services .

Has Your Car's Value Changed?

Used car values are constantly changing. Edmunds lets you track your vehicle's value over time so you can decide when to sell or trade in.

1. 2016 Volkswagen Golf

If you're looking to hit the highway with a couple of friends and explore a new city or two, a compact hatchback is a smart pick. Compacts are inherently maneuverable and if you can find one with good outward visibility, generous interior space and great fuel economy, you're good to go. You won't find a better embodiment of these qualities than the 2016 Volkswagen Golf.

The Golf offers real space for four adults, or five in a pinch, with a handy 22.8 cubic feet of cargo volume behind the rear seatbacks and an almost SUV-like 52.7 cubic feet with those seatbacks folded down. The large windows afford great sightlines in every direction, while the standard 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine produces enough power to slingshot you around an on-ramp without much effort. And yet, it gets 29 mpg combined in EPA testing (25 city/36 highway). This is sensible German engineering at its best.

2. 2016 Toyota Prius

If city touring is in your road-trip plans and you need more space than a compact vehicle can offer, check out the midsize 2016 Toyota Prius. It's a top pound-for-pound contender in passenger space and road comfort, not to mention its unbeatable fuel economy.

Go all-in with the Prius Eco model and you'll get ultra-low rolling-resistance tires along with a slight weight reduction, resulting in 56 mpg combined (58 city/53 highway). That extends fueling intervals to a bladder-challenging range somewhere north of 600 miles. Efficiency aside, this Prius is also more comfortable and rewarding to drive than any generation before it. And its midsize dimensions mean there's plenty of space for people and cargo.

3. 2016 Hyundai Genesis

Maybe you're someone who thinks a road trip — even one that takes weeks and a couple hundred miles a day — should not be a test of endurance. If so, a cushy luxury sedan like the 2016 Hyundai Genesis might suit you.

A base price of $39,700 might sound like it's stretching the definition of "affordable," but that's where this Hyundai's exceptional value comes into play. For the money, the Genesis simply can't be matched for feature content or interior quality, and it comes with industry-leading warranty coverage. The standard, smooth-revving 3.8-liter V6 is the smart choice (the optional V8 plays in a different league), and you can specify rear- or all-wheel drive.

4. 2016 Mazda CX-5

Maybe you're tired of the city because you have to live in one for 350 days a year. In that case, the point of a road trip is to get as far away from cities — or even roads themselves — as possible. We're with you.

The 2016 Mazda CX-5 is a winner here. On the pavement, it's downright sporty for a crossover, with impressive fuel economy to boot. But it can also be equipped with a capable all-wheel drive system for mild off-road exploration. While rock-crawling jaunts may be off the table, the versatile CX-5 should provide more overall satisfaction than a single-purpose off-road vehicle.

5. 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata

For the driver whose trip revolves around roads rather than destinations, a sublime connection between car and driver moves to the top of the priority list. Unfortunately, this kind of connection often comes with a monthly payment that looks more like a mortgage. But the 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata is a notable exception.

The Miata provides a lightweight body, a feisty four-cylinder engine, a taut suspension and communicative steering, delivering endless driving fun in a package that's barely big enough to fit two. The cabin may be too cozy for certain body types, and the trunk is limited to 4.6 cubic feet of space, so plan on packing light. But spend just five minutes behind the wheel of the MX-5 and you'll completely understand the appeal.

6. 2017 Ford Mustang Convertible

Summer brings plenty of opportunities to soak up some rays. And if you live in a place that doesn't see sunshine on a regular basis, you'll definitely want to take full advantage of these months.

It's true that the Miata, the No. 5 pick, is a seriously good convertible, but it has real space constraints. So if your passenger and cargo needs are greater, the 2017 Ford Mustang Convertible is another great drop-top option. The Mustang may not be as spry as the Miata, but with double the seats, significantly more trunk capacity and nearly double the horsepower from even the base V6 engine, it compensates nicely in other areas. If you need more power, a turbo four-cylinder and V8 are also available. In any configuration, this is iconic American motoring.

7. 2016 Honda Odyssey

This list would not be complete without today's quintessential road trip vehicle: the minivan. For years, the minivan has provided larger families with a maximally efficient means of traveling together, supplanting the thirsty and unwieldly station wagons.

As in other vehicle segments, there are minivans that stand out from the crowd. Offering seating for up to eight, the 2016 Honda Odyssey is one of our favorites, scoring top marks in interior space and comfort, everyday drivability and even composure around corners. Some high-end features available on the Odyssey include a 12-speaker surround-sound audio system and a 16.2-inch widescreen rear entertainment screen with HDMI connectivity, as well as the industry's first on-board vacuum system. Wrangling the kids could still be a challenge, but convincing them to climb aboard a rolling movie theatre will take far less effort.

8. 2017 Chevrolet Traverse

So you need to haul a lot of people and cargo to faraway places, but you refuse to join the Minivan Alliance. No problem. The 2016 Chevrolet Traverse is a comfortable and unusually spacious three-row SUV that accommodates up to eight passengers and starts at around $30,000.

The Traverse can tow up to 5,200 pounds when properly equipped, which is impressive for a crossover. It also comes with a 288-horsepower V6 engine that can be paired with all-wheel drive. Even with all three seating rows in use, there's still a generous 24.4 cubic feet of cargo space. Folding the second- and third-row seats opens up a whopping 116.3 cubic feet, topping this segment by a wide margin. An all-new Traverse is waiting in the wings and will be substantially smaller, so if you like the road-trip possibilities opened up by that cavernous cabin, grab a current-generation Traverse while you still can.

9. 2016 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel

If the Chevy Traverse's 5,200-pound towing capacity seems puny to you, perhaps the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel's 9,050-lb capacity is more like it. If your road trip involves pulling a trailer, a boat or even a camper, you'll want a truck with enough muscle to make quick work of any route.

The Ram 1500's EcoDiesel V6 provides outstanding fuel economy (20 mpg city/28 highway) along with a healthy 420 pound-feet of torque. The four-door crew cab can seat up to six and is surprisingly pleasant on long hauls thanks to its airy cabin, supportive seats and supple coil-spring rear suspension. Note that the EcoDiesel carries about a $5,000 premium, which nudges even the cheapest diesel-powered crew cab past our price cutoff. But this engine is certainly worth the extra money if towing and fuel economy (or simply extended driving range) are top priorities.

10. 2017 Honda Ridgeline

If you like the utility of a truck but prefer the refined driving character of a car, the 2017 Honda Ridgeline could be the road-trip champion you've been waiting for. Based on the Honda Pilot SUV, the Ridgeline is packed full of versatile features catering to an active lifestyle, so it's a great choice for trips with outdoorsy themes.

The bed of the Ridgeline is where most of the magic happens. A dual-hinged tailgate folds down or swings open from the side to reveal lockable underfloor storage. You can toss your gear in there, or else throw in some drinks and ice to convert it into a fully stocked cooler (the melted ice drains out via a removable plug at the bottom). Also available on top-line models is a 540-watt sound system, paired with the industry's first truck-bed audio system. It makes every stop on your itinerary a party waiting to happen.

Best Summer Road Trip Vehicles

Independence Day weekend signaled the highest travel volume for Americans on record, trailing only 2019 by 2.5%, according to AAA. Nearly 48 million travelers took to the roads, seas and skies to depart the daily woes of pandemic life that’s loomed overhead since March 2020. Modes of transport include air, bus, train and boat (yes, cruises are slowly returning) and, of course, the esteemed automobile. In fact, the vast majority of travelers favored the summer road trips over all other options. AAA reports that 91% of travelers, or 43.6 million Americans, hit the road for their long-weekend vacation. That’s the highest on record for the 4th of July holiday and a 5% increase compared to 2019. With road tripping front and center, it’s a good thing many modern vehicles offer spacious, well-appointed cabins equipped with advanced infotainment systems and built-in Wi-Fi hotspots to keep passengers entertained and connected to friends (or work) while on the go. Ample cargo space also eliminates the stress and the cost of checking luggage or packing within rigid weight limits. Here is a list of the best summer road trip vehicles. It includes two-and thee-row SUVs in the midsize category (and one truck) that offer competitive fuel economy, generous cargo and passenger space, modern technology and host of advanced driver-assistance features to keep driver fatigue at bay and safety top of mind.

Chevrolet Traverse Largest Midsize SUV On The Block

via CarsDirect

Why We Picked It

The 2021 Chevrolet Traverse is the largest midsize SUV, roomier than Ford Explorer and cheaper than its near-luxury Buick Enclave sibling. It almost offers as much interior space as the full-size Chevrolet Tahoe. Every row is passably comfortable and it drives reasonably well. It also tows 2.5 tons and offers intuitive infotainment and standard Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and a Wi-Fi hotspot. Its cockpit appointments could be better and too much safety tech is restricted to costlier trim lines.

Pros & Cons

Lots of space for cargo and passengers, even in third row
Intuitive infotainment system with Wi-Fi standard
310-horsepower V6 helps tow 5,000 pounds
Safest 2021 Traverse cost $21,000 extra
Tough to maneuver, park in town
Can’t match interiors or value of Kia, Hyundai SUVs

2021 Honda Pilot

The Pilot carries over mostly unchanged for the 2021 model year, except for Honda making its smooth-shifting nine-speed transmission standard across the lineup. The automaker’s All-wheel drive also is available across all models, a useful upgrade to families that live in seasonal regions, especially with driving modes that adjust for Snow, Sand and Mud (it also has a mildly impressive 7.3 inches of ground clearance). But driving dynamics are lackluster while cruising around town and styling is generic. Nonetheless, the Pilot’s spacious cabin, host of standard safety tech and plentiful small space storage makes it an effective tool whether running errands or embarking on long family road trips.

Spacious, family-friendly cabin
Competitive fuel economy compared with rivals

2021 Ford Explorer

The current-generation Ford Explorer debuted for the 2020 model year and now sits on a rear-wheel drivetrain for enhanced capability. Ford’s updates has helped it make inroads against its European and Asian rivals, but it still stumbles in the comfort and with fit and finish categories, which makes it hard to justify the exorbitant prices some of the configurations demand. But midsize SUV is still a top-seller, offering standard seating for seven (or six when outfitted with two second-row captain’s chairs) and handful of engine choices, including a powerful 300-horsepower 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, a 3.0-liter hybrid powertrain with 318 horsepower or a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 with 400 horsepower. All engines are paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, and a four-wheel drivetrain is available. Depending on its powertrain, the Explorer achieves up to 29 mpg on the highway (up to 28 mpg in combined city and highway driving).

2021 Nissan Rogue

Nissan’s new Rogue is proof that thoughtful packaging and desirable tech can push any vehicle to the next level. It’s powertrain doesn’t offer an overwhelming amount of power, but it gets high marks for efficiency, especially when configured with front-wheel drive. Inside the cabin is two rows with comfortable seating for five. An available sliding panoramic moonroof brings in fresh air and daylight to brighten long drives. The Rogue’s back row slides and reclines for passenger comfort, and the cargo area features an adjustable floor with dividers and shelves to make the most of the segment-topping 39.3 cubic-feet of storage capacity. It also comes with a host of advanced driver-assistance safety tech, including automatic emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection as well as alerts for lane departure and blind spots, and features an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility.

2021 Kia Telluride

Top Telluride trims get premium features and all the tech goodies, but Kia’s biggest SUV is a solid value and great family vehicle no matter how it’s configured. The interior is comfortable and spacious, and its modern, muscular styling makes compelling case for young families disinterested in the shrinking minivan segment. The midsize SUV is powered by a 3.8-liter V6 engine paired and to an eight-speed automatic transmission with 291 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. It’s also rated to tow up to 5,000 pounds. The Telluride boasts a slew of standard advanced driver-assistance safety tech including front and rear automatic emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, lane keep assist and adaptive cruise control. It makes ample use of technology to help with long trips such as the available “driver talk” intercom to communicate with passengers in the rear, an optional quiet mode that limits audio to the front row and the available Rear Occupant Alert feature included with UVO subscription to give parents traveling with small children peace of mind.

2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee

The Jeep Grand Cherokee is the original family-hauling SUV with legitimate off-roading credentials and is the largest of the brand’s line of rugged activity vehicles. The current, fourth-generation Grand Cherokee will end its run at the end of 2021, but it remains an excellent melding of off-road ability and luxury that’s hard to top at its price point, especially with 11 models in its lineup. New for 2021 is a new, longer wheelbase version, the Jeep Grand Cherokee L, that offers bigger families a third row. The five-seater Grand Cherokee is available with four engine options that range from the standard 3.6-liter V6 with 295 horsepower and 260 pound feet of torque to a 6.4-liter turbocharged V8 with 475 horsepower and 470 pound feet of torque. It offers offers best-in-class towing capacity of up to 7,200 pounds when properly equipped. It’s known for its off-road capability, but it’s equally renowned for cozy cabin comfort, including a 8.4-inch touchscreen, heated front and rear seats and an available dual panel sunroof that brings the outdoors in on long drives. The interior also can be dressed in a wide selection of luxurious leather and wood finishes. The two-row version boasts a segment-topping 36.3 cubic-feet of storage behind the second row, a figure bested only by Toyota’s utilitarian 4Runner (47.2 cubic-feet).

Brings more off-road capability than most in its class
Better comfort and ride quality than most off-road focused vehicles
Quadra-Lift suspension more than adept on the road or off of it

2021 Hyundai Palisade

Hyundai hit it out of the park with its new affordable three-row midsize SUV. The 2021 Hyundai Palisade offers a host of technology features and high-end touches such as quilted Napa leather interior materials that level-set it with luxury competitors that cost thousands dollars more. The seven- or eight-seater is powered by a 3.8-liter V6 engine with 291 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque and is paired with an eight-speed transmission. Inside the cabin are many technology features to keep connected on the road, including a 10.25-inch navigation display mounted above the center stack, optional wireless charging, seven USB outlets and the ability to connect two Bluetooth devices at the same time (one for a mobile connection and the other for audio streaming). Designed with road-tripping in mind, the Palisade features 16 cup holders, an optional intercom system to communicate with rear passengers and a roof vent diffuser that improves airflow to pets or kids in the third row. To store cargo and gear, the Palisade offers 18 cubic-feet of storage with the third row up and 45.8 when folded flat.

2021 GMC Sierra 1500

Not all road trips end where the pavement does. The GMC Sierra 1500 full-size pickup is ideal mode of travel when adventuring means heading off the pavement without sacrificing comfort and style. The Sierra has lots of virtues, including a trick multi-function tailgate, an excellent towing safety suite and plenty of room. It’s also good looking, with the off-road themed AT4 a particular style standout. Its available 6.2-liter V8 and 3.0-liter diesel six also give good performance and hauling capability. On the other hand, the Sierra’s top trims don’t seem quite as premium as billed, and many of the Truck’s features are shared with its less-expensive sibling, the Chevy Silverado, which also has a higher max tow rating.

Excellent optional powertrains

Handsome styling
Premium interior not as premium as priced

Adventure: 15 Best Camper Vans for the Mobile Traveller

We have compiled a list of all the best camper vans on the market to help you choose which is best for you and your adventurous spirit, but first, it’s best to know all the accessories available, from luxury beds to fully functional kitchens.

Choosing the Best Camper Van For You

From mega off-road monsters, stylish luxury sleepers, and minimalistic compact campers, you have lots to choose from. There are a few key considerations to make when choosing a camper van to fit your lifestyle and budget:

Size: Camper vans come both big and small, with plenty of middle ground to choose from as well. You should consider exactly how much space you need by estimating how many people will be traveling and how much gear you need, including necessities, personal items, and recreational supplies. Camper vans typically sleep anywhere from 2 to 6 people, and will have seating arrangements fit to match the sleeping capacity. Look for creative storage options, such as storage underneath the retractable awning or campers that utilize crawl space, which will help you feel less cramped.
Amenities: You can enjoy all the luxurious amenities you have at home, like your usual kitchen appliances, climate control, advanced technology, solar power, and more, or you can opt for something more basic, depending on your needs.
Gas Mileage: You can expect the gas mileage in a camper van to be less than that of your family car or personal sedan, but it doesn’t all have to be bad. Some models have mileage ratings as high as 20 mpg, while others are considerable low. To cut down on gas costs, consider models with an alternate energy source, like solar panels.
Appearance: Camper vans are built onto pre-made chassis’s, so the exterior design depends heavily upon the chassis used. The Mercedes-Benz 144 chassis is a popular and common choice to many camper van builds, but you can find options that utilize Dodge, Ford, Fiat, Volkswagen, and other models, too.

Our Favorite Camper Vans

A camper van may be the perfect addition if your family loves to travel, but if you’ve never bought one before, it’s likely you don’t know where to start. Every model is intensely different, giving you a range of options to choose from. Like everything, though, some camper vans are better than others. For help choosing a camper van that is durable and built to last, with quality interior and amenities, consider our list of favorites. These options range from the biggest and baddest, to the most compact and luxurious models on the market, and none of them will let you down.

Hymercar Campervan

Hymercar is a unique company that allows you to choose from several build options and chassis’s, but perhaps their most popular option is the Hymercar Free on a fiat chassis. This model includes all the basic necessities, like a bathroom, kitchenette with refrigerator and freezer, and living space that easily converts to a sleeping space, which sleeps up to four people. The Grand Oak furniture finish gives a clean, modern feel to the inside, and you can choose from another Fiat model or the Mercedes-Benz model, depending on your aesthetic preferences.

Earthroamer XV-HD

This camper “van” is built for being off the road, but stylish enough for a highway stroll, too. It’s designed to be tough, with a King Ranch trim, a V8 Turbo Diesel engine, and 330 horsepower. This is also a great option if you need a lot of space and capacity for your travel. The Earthroamer XV-HD holds 250 gallons of fresh water and 115 gallons of fuel, so you have to stop less during your trip. The 20,000 watt hours and optional 2,100 watt solar power will help you sustain life in the great outdoors for quite some time. These super duty vehicles are built to custom order and several different floor plans are available, so you can choose how many people you’d like to sleep and all the amenities you’d like to be included. Earthroamer is based in Colorado and built in the USA .

Sportsmobile Ultimate Adventure Vehicle

This camper van is built for those who love the outdoors and have no limits as to where they may go. Its heavy duty exterior is built to last, and includes a list of upgrades to make your off-road experience all the easier, like a lift kit for extra clearance, suspension swap options, an upgraded 4×4 engine, and a roof rack capable of hauling multiple kayaks, bikes , and more. Enjoy plenty of interior conveniences, too, like a full kitchen with refrigerator, freezer, and cooktop, plenty of counter top and storage space, and a comfortable, convertible sitting and sleeping area that sleeps up to four people. A small dining area allows just as many people to easily enjoy meals, but since this Ultimate Adventure Vehicle can take you to places you’ve never been, you may find that you’re spending more and more time outdoors.

Winnebago Paseo

This roomy camper van is designed and built by Winnebago, one of the first trusted suppliers of quality RV’s. The camper is built onto a Ford Transit chassis, so you get strength and durability combined with plenty of space to move about. The back third of the van is completely customizable at your will, and you can choose from up to seven different daytime or nighttime seating options using the Flex Bed technology. You will also enjoy all the benefits of the Ford EcoBoost engine, so you can expect to get pretty good gas mileage and consistent performance that will take you wherever you want to go.

Weekender Mercedes Sprinter by Midwest Automotives

The Weekender uses a Mercedes Sprinter Chassis to create a stylish, but incredibly functional camper van. This sports van, designed by Midwest Automotives, is loaded with every luxury you could need in a travel van. Enjoy easy meal times provided by the microwave oven and compact refrigerator. Other modern conveniences you can enjoy on the go include a small bathroom with a shower, galley, wide screen televisions with cable access, internet access, and a premium sound system. The dinette area converts into a sleeping area around the size of a queen sized bed. All of your electric is run through a high powered lithium battery, which means you burn less gasoline, so you can travel on.

Outside Van Pop

This camper van, built on a low-roof Mercedes 144 chassis, includes a pop up roof for additional head room, which makes it easy to move about inside the luxurious living space. It is small and compact, but definitely not cramped. Outside Van offers a slew of custom options, including features like a 12V refrigerator, roof-top air conditioner, multiple cabinetry options, hanging shelves, drop down televisions, bunk beds, and more, so you can easily customize the Pop van to your liking. The Pop van can easily sleep up to four people, and depending on your chosen options, can sleep up to six.

Peugeot Rifter 4×4 Concept

If you are looking for something a bit more casual than a bulky van, this Rifter 4×4 Concept is a modern and adventurous take on a stylish SUV. Don’t worry, though, there was still plenty of room for them to add in all of your camping essentials, as well as an 8 cm lift kit to help you clear any obstacles in your path, heavy duty tires that can withstand any terrain, a LED light bar, and a splash guard behind the radiator grille on the front. Peugeot has multiple Concept vehicles, all of which are built to take on any adventure you choose.

Airstream Autobahn

Airstream prides themselves on creating the most luxury camper vans on the market. This Autobahn is built onto a 4×4 Mercedes-Benz chassis and includes tons of features that make this vehicle top of the line in design and comfort. The inside is customizable, with three different color options for the leather interior and multiple seating options. Each passenger seat can enjoy their own climate control, plenty of space, and a personal USB charger, and you can keep up with all of your modern needs with the luxury Corian refrigerator top. The V6 turbo diesel engine lets you enjoy an impressive 18 mpg on the highway, so you can keep on the go with less stops in between.

Doubleback Van

This ultimate camper van, built onto a Volkswagen 2.5 TDI Transporter chassis, quickly transforms into an extended sleeping module. The rear pod extends an extra six feet, while the roof tilts upwards to allow for plenty of head room. The van’s body is built from aerospace-spec technology, so you can rest assured that you have safety and durability to meet top standards. Each model is hand built and have a few customizable options, including multiple different finishes and options for interior design. Enjoy a comfortable double bed and multiple daytime seating options, as well as a small kitchenette and dining area. The van can easily support up to 900 pounds of extra gear and personal belongings, so don’t be afraid to pack whatever you might need.

Volkswagen California

From the trusted German engineering at Volkswagen, you can enjoy this compact camper van and all its top-notch safety standards. Despite its small size, it easily converts to sleep up to four people, includes a full miniature kitchen, a dinette area, plenty of convenient storage options, folding mirrors, and camping table and chairs to use under the retractable awning. Enjoy interior climate control, LED headlights for optimal vision, and a pop-up top for extra head room. The California may look like a van, but it’s like a miniature home on wheels, with all of the comforts you’re used to.

Outside Van Apex

The Apex model by Outside Van allows you to choose from all of their premium options, but this model is built specifically to help you enjoy your outdoors experience. Enjoy everything you need for easy off-roading, like heavy duty A/T tires , a solar package, stealth kit, and more. Like many of their other vans, the Apex is built on a 4×4 Mercedes-Benz 144 Sprinter chassis, so you can expect the inside to be as luxurious as the outside. The inside has a convertible sleeping/sitting area that has roof for at least four people to ride or rest, and the luxurious interior built is impressive and inviting for guests.

Fiat Ducato

Fiat is iconic for its compact cars, but they build a pretty mean camping machine as well. The Ducato focuses on ergonomics, and fiat created a camping solution that is easily mobile and ultimately comfortable. The turning radius is rated best-in-class and the electricity is run through a stabilized circuit, so you don’t have to worry about any surges or power outages while on the go. Enjoy plug-in USB charging ports,a 5-inch touch screen UConnect radio with AUX port, built in TomTom satellite navigation, and even more options for a technologically advanced adventure. Enjoy a 24-hour fiat camper support line in 51 countries and 15 different language, so you’re never alone, no matter how far you go.

Outside Van Unicorn

If you’re looking for a mix of great design and heavy duty off-roading power, you’ve just found it. The Unicorn by Outside Van is perhaps the most design oriented camper van on the market and features a few gorgeous additions that are definitely easy on the eye, like all natural bamboo cabinetry, high output LED light bars, and custom color selections. A few other luxuries take comfort to the next level, like the Custom Thermo Fit mattress , A/C, and auxiliary seating. As always, the Unicorn is fashioned on a 4×4 Mercedes-Benz base, so it’s built for style, comfort, and durability.

Roadtrek SS Agile

The SS Agile by Roadtrek is both compact and ultimately elegant, featuring spacious bed and bath areas with a stand up/sit down shower. The bed comfortably sleeps two, while the dinette area seats up to five people. Choose from several different packages to include a high capacity hot water system, solar package, wireless internet access, and more. The SS Agile is built on a compact sized Mercedes chassis, but includes plenty of storage space to make traveling as comfortable and organized as possible.

Winnebago Revel 4×4

Another option by the trusted camper company, Winnebago, is the Revel 4×4, which is structurally designed to withstand any off-road experience, while offering more than enough storage for both personal belongings and recreational gear. The Revel gets pretty good gas mileage, but perhaps its defining feature is its integrated solar system. The entire system relies on roof mounted solar panels, that power the kitchen (refrigerator and stove), all the lights, television, and any other technology you need with no need for gas or propane.

Enjoy a Comfortable Adventure

No matter what you choose, #vanlife campers are all built for the same purpose: as an alternative option to RV’s to provide you with comfort and protection while on the go. Most camper vans will be filled with your basic necessities, like a small kitchen and sleeping area, but you can really amp it up for added comfort. Either way, travelling in your new camper van beats stinky motel stays any day.

These Are The Best Cars To Take On A Round-The-World Adventure

If you want to travel the world, these are the cars that might get you there and back..

Two vintage Toyota Land Cruisers parked in a lake.

If you’ve ever dreamt about escaping the nine to five and traveling the world for an endless road trip, you’ve come to the right place. It’s something many car fans and travel fanatics think about. But, what’s the best car to take on the trip?

To find out, we asked you for your picks for the best cars to take on a round-the-world adventure.

And, from sedans to pickup trucks, you delivered some great suggestions. To see what vehicles made the cut, flick through the gallery to see what could get you there, and back again.

Honda Odyssey

“Having driven to the remotest parts of Mexico and Central America, some observations. “1) Gas mileage is a consideration. Gas is expensive outside the US. Also I’ve been down roads where its over 200 miles to the next gas station. “2) A vehicle you can fix with your own two hands. Mechanics in many of the sparsely populated countries fix things with wire and bubble gum. “But, if you can get the broken part off, they rebuild every single part (like welding aluminum and drilling it out to make a housing – think human 3D printer.) “3) Ground clearance. Pot holes and speed bumps are legendary. Think 7"-8". “4) Space - you’re gonna be hauling a lot of tools, spare parts and gear. “5) Comfortable seats – your butt is gonna spend a lot of time riding rough roads. “6) Roof rack “My choice? 1998 Honda Odyssey. Think first gen with the 4 doors. Lifted 1.5 inches and all terrain tires. Never wanted for more, didn’t need 4 wheel drive and neither did the locals.”

Experience tells this poster that the 1998 Honda Odyssey is the perfect car for any trans-continental adventure. It’s certainly got the space for sleeping and storage, but could it really last the trip?

“Unimog with standard truck size tires or a big Diesel engined Land Cruiser. Then you can pretty much go anywhere and get going again anytime after a mishap too.”

Ah the Unimog, a very popular choice among posters today. This Mercedes-designed monster has been in production since 1948. The behemoth of a vehicle has a go-anywhere mentality that will be essential for any round-the-world adventure.

Suggested by: Michael Gray (Facebook)

Dodge Charger

“Sure, it would seem the Land Cruiser or a Land Rover would be the obvious answer. After all, worldwide both vehicles are as common as dirt, so if you have problems, parts will be available to git ‘er done. “But the stipulation is ‘to explore automotive cultures around the world’ and thanks to the monster influence of American pop culture around the world with movies and TV shows, everyone knows about 2nd gen Chargers. “So between the Bullitt ‘68 Charger, the Gen Lee ‘69, the F&F ‘70 Chargers, the Blade Charger, the Ghost Rider Charger, blah-blah for a list about a mile long; when you show up with one of these big-block Chargers, you will instantly be the center of attention. So by default, you will have it made-in-the-shade easy with the car clubs when you are the American cruising in a classic Charger. “And since these cars are so stick-simple, when you have problems, you can easily get it fixed— like a Land Rover, only gorgeous to look at — win-win.”

This poster woke up today and chose madness. But then again, their handle suggests their judgment may be a touch clouded here.

Suggested by: the1969dodgechargerguy

Toyota Hilux

“The only two companies I’d trust to have a global supply chain that could get me parts in places like Kyrgyzstan or Burkina Faso would be Toyota and Mercedes. Of the two, I’d go with Toyota and one of their non-usa trucks (Hilux, Prado, Land Cruiser) but tooling around in a Unimog would be cool (or an old diesel G-wagon with an OM606).”

Top Gear proved that this car could survive a trip ‘round Bristol, an expedition to the North Pole and a quick trip to a volcano, I guess that just about covers any terrain you might encounter on your travels around the globe.

Suggested by: Grayson Williams (Facebook)

Toyota 4Runner

“4th-gen V8 4WD 4Runner. I’m partial because I have one, but it really is my answer as well. It’s not as wide or long as a Land Cruiser, but is just as capable in most respects and is still incredibly comfortable for long journeys on- or off-road.”

Oh hey, another Toyota. The shortest route to drive around the world is via Russia and North America and covers more than 10,000 miles. I guess that counts as a “long journeys on- or off-road” in which to enjoy the 4Runner’s “incredible” comfort.

Suggested by: mustangiimatt

Toyota Land Cruiser

“Land Cruiser with an auxiliary gas tank. They’re very capable, but very thirsty.”

And another one.

The Land Cruiser was easily the most popular suggestion in today’s Question of the Day . Maybe that’s because it has more than 60-years of off-road experience, maybe it’s the ample power, or maybe it’s the hefty towing capacity.

Suggested by: WR Johnson (Facebook)

“All you people suggesting trucks/SUVs that don’t float? Pshaw!! “This little cutie will get you pole-to-pole.”

Finally, a little imagination. The Sherp is classed as a “Utility Task Vehicle” and it’s quite the machine. With space for four or more people, the Sherp is an amphibious car capable of going almost anywhere.

Suggested by: majordawlish

Mercedes-Benz W123

“Everyone is going off-roaders but since all the ones that I could think of as appropriate are taken I’m going to go on a slightly different direction. “The thing you want is something that is everywhere. Something that you’re going to see in most countries you can find, something that you know is going to be durable, something that can blend in and something that is often used as a taxi in poorer countries. I can think of a few potential options (Nissan Tsuru, Peugeot 505, VW Beetle, the Toyota Land Cruiser everyone else has picked already) but my personal pick is the Mercedes Benz W123. “It’s pretty much un-killable and can clearly handle the worst the world has to offer.”

A car with an ample stream of spare parts is a good way to go about this exercise. And the Mercedes W123 fits that bill down to a T. During its 10-year lifespan, Mercedes built more than 2.5 million W123s across Germany, South Africa, China and Thailand.

Suggested by: citricola

The Amphicar

“An Amphicar. It’s the only one that can actually make it.”

Another person that tried to address the ‘ocean’ issue you might face on a round-the-world trip, this time with a 1960s convertible. The Amphicar 770 was manufactured in West Germany and marketed from 1961 to 1968. Just 3,878 were built, so sourcing any spare parts after a breakdown may be a struggle here.

A Motorbike

“I mean it isn’t a car but... motorcycle. Any of the ‘adventure’ bikes will work. I think an HD, BMW, and a Yamaha have traveled from the most northern point in Alaska to the most southern point in Argentina that you can get to without using a boat. Multiple times.”

There is always one bike fan that decides to chime in. But as Ewan McGregor has proven on several occasions, a bike is the best way to travel across the globe. And are you going to argue with Obi Wan?
