Volkswagen Arteon

There’s a lot to recommend the Volkswagen Arteon when it comes to covering large distances, making it a natural fit for road trips. There’s a spacious cabin hidden behind its sporty, coupe-style silhouette and passengers will love the rear legroom on offer.

Comfort comes to the fore in its luxurious interior, but there’s no compromise when it comes to boot space, either. It is also a very relaxing ride, thanks to its high-tech engines and gearboxes, as well as an extremely practical driver assist system, perfect for long journeys.

BMW 3 Series Touring

The BMW 3 Series Touring is both a sensible and exciting choice when it comes to cars worthy for a road tripping. Not only is it agile and easy to drive, but it offers a surprisingly generous cabin space and is very comfortable for both passengers and driver.

Another great feature is the generous boot space, which can easily contain a couple of suitcases. It also boasts a range of intelligent technologies designed to make driving easier as well as a driver-oriented cockpit and innovative BMW Curved Display.

Mercedes-Benz GLE SUV

When you need a little extra leg room for your trip, the Mercedes-Benz GLE SUV is an excellent choice. Available as both a five or seven seater, this muscular SUV is a sporty number that also combines off-road capability with everyday practicality – making it especially good for road trips.

The spacious interior is matched by a generous boot and it has some driver technologies that are perfect when you’re travelling long distance, such as its blind-spot assistance feature, as well as great visibility all round.

Mazda MX-5

If the thought of the wind blowing in your hair as you explore with the soft top down fills you with joy, then the Mazda MX-5 is an excellent contender. This sleek two-seat convertible is perfect for a glamourous take on a road trip.

It handles responsively and has a powerful engine, so that driving is a pleasure, and you’ll find there’s enough boot space to store essential luggage. It’s also very comfortable and is sure to turn heads, making it a fun choice when you’re planning your holidays.
