Summer road trips hit differently when the vehicle actually fits the plan. Whether it is a cottage weekend, a cross-province drive, a family visit, or a spontaneous “let’s just go” kind of escape, the right vehicle makes the whole trip feel smoother. Here are some standout road-trip picks worth checking out.
Honda CR-V Hybrid
The Honda CR-V Hybrid is a smart road-trip choice for drivers who want fuel efficiency without giving up SUV comfort. With hybrid fuel consumption as low as 6.4 L/100 km on Canadian models, it is easy on fuel during long highway stretches and still roomy enough for luggage, coolers, and back-seat passengers.
Mitsubishi Outlander
The Mitsubishi Outlander is ideal for families who need extra flexibility. It offers three-row seating for up to seven passengers, plus Mitsubishi’s available S-AWC system that adds confidence when the weather changes halfway through the trip. It is practical, comfortable, and ready for busy family travel.
Mazda CX-90 PHEV
The Mazda CX-90 PHEV brings a more premium road-trip feel with plug-in hybrid flexibility. It can travel up to 43 km on electric power under ideal conditions and offers up to 801 km of total range, making it great for daily errands before the big weekend drive.

Kia Sportage
The Kia Sportage is a great fit for travellers who want a compact SUV that still feels spacious. With gas, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid options available, it gives drivers flexibility depending on their driving style. Its roomy cabin and practical cargo area make packing for summer simple.
Hyundai Tucson
The Hyundai Tucson works well for road trips because it mixes comfort, tech, and easy-driving confidence. Available features like a 12.3-inch touchscreen, HTRAC™ All-Wheel Drive, and adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go support help make longer drives feel less tiring.
Nissan Rogue
The Nissan Rogue is built for those “pack it and go” trips. It offers seating for five, available AWD, advanced safety tech, and up to 2,098 litres of cargo space, giving families plenty of room for bags, beach gear, camping items, and everything else that somehow comes along.
Ram 1500
The Ram 1500 is the road-trip pick for drivers bringing trailers, bikes, boats, or serious gear. With strong towing tech, over 100 standard and available safety and security features, and a famously comfortable cabin, it turns long-distance truck travel into something genuinely relaxing.
Chevrolet Bolt EV
The Chevy Bolt EV is a fun summer pick for drivers planning shorter getaways, city-to-city drives, or charging-friendly routes. Its all-electric setup keeps things quiet and smooth, while its compact size makes it easy to park once you reach the hotel, beach, or downtown dinner spot.
