Road trips are fun. Enjoying the ride and letting the wind (and fuel) take you on an adventure is something else.
If you plan to go on a road trip soon, you might be looking for a big SUV or a van to fit your friends and family, a compact truck to tow a boat or a hybrid for increased fuel efficiency.
Here’s a list of what might work best for you.
Which are the best cars for road trips?
Hyundai Elantra
You don’t have to spend big bucks to get a high-tech car that’s great for a road trip.
The daringly stylish new Hyundai Elantra packs tons of wow factors into an economical, refined package that’s well-equipped.
Most versions come standard with adaptive cruise control, and the Elantra is rated as high as 43 mpg on the highway.
The new Elantra is an excellent reminder of what we like about sedans.
Jeep Grand Cherokee L
The first-ever 3-row Jeep Grand Cherokee rides on a longer wheelbase than the standard model.
It has a new, high-tech interior with one of the best infotainment systems in the business.
This Jeep also offers an available 5.7-litre V8 plus Jeep’s outstanding off-road ability.
Toyota Sienna
With its 36 mpg rating, the Toyota Sienna is economical to take the whole family along for a ride.
Toyota’s latest minivan comes only as a hybrid, making it the most fuel-efficient van on the road.
The Sienna is more than just a green choice. This van has a spacious interior with tons of features, including standard driver-assistance tech to help make road trips even more relaxing.
And if you are looking for an even better option for road trips, here is a list of the best vans for sale in Calgary.
Best Vans for road trips
Mercedes Sprinter
The tall-roofed Sprinter Cargo Van comes in three lengths, and the longest one is almost as big as a small RV, meaning there might be room for a bathroom.
The Sprinter is also available in 4×4, making it the best option for van-lifers who want to spend a reasonable amount of time off-road.
Also, the Sprinter is very popular in the VanLife community, and it comes with high interior design versatility.
Nissan NV Cargo
The Nissan NV Cargo Van might not be the most popular option, but its ability to be converted to 4×4 makes it worth considering if you’re looking for a mean off-roading machine.
The Nissan NV is available in various configurations and features a spacious cabin but less cargo room than the competitors.
If head-room is what you’re after, the high-roof option has the second-highest ceiling out of all the van options.
