Very few people aren't interested in the idea of a great road trip. You pick a destination, decide on the activities you want to do along the way, and hit the road. Or, you just set off without any idea of the final destination or how long it will take to get there.
In fact, when you think of a road trip, all possibilities are on the table. That's the beauty of this type of travel. Now, what vehicle to take? Here too, the options are endless, as the choice of vehicle will depend on the time spent on the road, the type of terrain traveled, and, of course, the type of activities you want to do on your journey.
And of course, it all depends on the number of people involved in said road trip.
10 ideal cars for a road trip
So here are 10 vehicles with which it would be pleasant to hit the road, depending of course on the type of journey envisaged. For each one, a very short explanatory sentence
- 1.Ford Mustang
The iconic car for this kind of trip, especially since you can choose a convertible version and take advantage of four seats. The two rear seats can also be used to store some luggage. The Ford Mustang is a must!
- 1.Chevrolet Camaro
Same goes for the Chevrolet Camaro. There's something special about taking the wheel of an American car for a road trip across the United States. Another excellent choice.
- 1.Mercedes-Benz SL
The Mercedes-Benz SL is the ultimate roadster. It's not cheap, but it offers a divine level of comfort, so you can consider traveling thousands of kilometers in it. Plus, it's highly performant; you can have fun on certain stretches of road.
- 1.BMW Z4
To combine pure performance and comfort, the BMW Z4 might be the ideal car. It offers everything, really, as long as you're willing to travel light. The idea of covering a few thousand kilometers in it remains very tempting.
- 1.Mazda MX-5
If the road trip you're planning is short and includes plenty of winding roads, then you'll want to be behind the wheel of a Mazda MX-5. This car delivers tons of fun. However, you'll need to travel with the bare essentials.
- 1.Honda Odyssey
Let's set aside the pleasure on wheels and focus on family fun. If you're hitting the road with your kids, Honda's minivan is the perfect companion for this kind of escapade. Its cargo capacity means you don't have to sacrifice leaving things at home; you can bring everything!
- 1.Honda Ridgeline
A road trip in a pickup truck? Why not, especially since Honda's Ridgeline is based on the Pilot SUV chassis? The advantage of the former is that its bed offers great versatility, whether for transporting bulkier items or for your tailgate parties.
- 1.Ram 1500
A real pickup truck, meaning it's built on a ladder frame, can also be the ideal partner for this kind of adventure, especially if you have to tow a trailer. And why FCA's representative rather than Ford's or Chevrolet's? For its level of comfort, plain and simple.
- 1.Honda Fit
A subcompact for a road trip? Absolutely, because the Honda Fit may be the size of a small car, but it offers the interior space of a small SUV. And at the pump, you'll save enough to spend a few extra days on the road.
- 1.Lexus LS
Here, the answer could just as easily have been an Audi A8, a Mercedes-Benz S-Class, or a BMW 7 Series. The Lexus LS, like its rivals, offers an imperial level of comfort and plenty of space for rear passengers; if you're heading to Florida with three of your friends, this kind of vehicle will take you to nirvana along the way.
So, which of these vehicles will you choose for your adventure?
