Whether you need a break from work, the kids, school, or life in general, a road trip is a good way to refresh. The best vehicles for an enjoyable long drive offer space, comfort, entertainment, and performance. Here are five of the best pre-owned models that do just that.
1. Mazda CX-5
The 2016 Mazda CX-5 got some updates from previous model years that you’re sure to enjoy during a long trip. A new infotainment system with standard Bluetooth capability allows for quick and easy connectivity to keep you and your passengers entertained. Updated safety features, like adaptive cruise control and lane departure warning, will keep you safe on the highway. You can even opt for an all-wheel drive model if you’re looking to take some road trips off the road.
2. Honda Odyssey
Drivers with families will love the 2016 Honda Odyssey. This minivan seats up to eight people comfortably and will keep everyone entertained from the front seats to the third row. An updated infotainment system offers connectivity and easy access to music and apps for the driver while an available backseat entertainment system features a 16.2-inch screen with HDMI ports. The 2016 Odyssey is the first minivan to offer an on-board vacuum cleaner so those road-trip snacks won’t cause stress.
3. Chevrolet Traverse
For all the space of a minivan with the SUV look, the 2017 Chevrolet Traverse is a three-row SUV with capability and style. This vehicle can also seat up to eight passengers while offering power with a V-6 engine that pumps out 288 horsepower. When paired with the available all-wheel drive system, the Traverse will take you anywhere you want to go, even in rough driving conditions. Folding down the second and third rows opens up a shocking 116.3 cubic-feet of cargo space, so you can take friends, family, or adventure toys along for your next trip.
4. Toyota Camry
The Toyota Camry is one of the most reliable vehicles on the market year after year. No matter which model year you choose, you’re getting a quality car. This may seem a small choice for a road trip vehicle, but if you only need space for a few friends and a little cargo, the Camry works well. This sedan offers impressive fuel efficiency in every model so you can drive more and stop less. More recent models like the 2016 Camry feature a sleek exterior appearance and plenty of updated technology inside.
5. Subaru Outback
Adventure lovers understand the value of a Subaru. The 2011 Subaru Outback was a new version of this capable wagon model ideal for drivers looking for a practical alternative to the SUV. You’ll be able to seat five comfortably and still have space for additional cargo in the rear. All trim levels come standard with a roof rack and a rear seat with a 60/40 split that folds to give 71.3 cubic-feet of space. Stop by Rath Auto Resources for a look at our pre-owned vehicles.
