There’s nothing better than a road trip with your friends or family to a great destination. That is, if you have the right car to back it up. Thankfully, Toyota offers a number of vehicles that are up to the task. Whether you want great entertainment features, superb fuel economy, or some extra space for all of your luggage, you’ll find what you’re looking for. Here are just a few of the best road tripping Toyota vehicles.
Prius v
This offshoot of the Prius is probably the best choice if you’re looking for a vehicle with the perfect blend of fuel economy and cargo space. Under the hood, the Prius v sports a 134-horsepower 1.8 liter, four-cylinder engine. Although it’s not a ton of power, it does boast a remarkable 44 miles per gallon city and 40 mpg on the highway. In addition, it has seating for five and 34 cubic feet of cargo space. However, you can fold the back seats down for an additional 33 cubic feet of room.
Land Cruiser
2016 marks one of the best years ever for the Toyota Land Cruiser. Not only is this vehicle massive, it also has some of the best entertainment features in the industry. With seating for up to eight passengers or up to 81 cubic feet of cargo space, the spacious Land Cruiser is one of the most accommodating Toyota vehicles. The rear seat passengers will also love the sizable cooler, as well as two 11.6-inch display screens for DVD movies. Both screens are separate, meaning you won’t have to hear arguments about what to watch. All in all, it’s a great vehicle for a luxurious and roomy trip.
RAV4
Sometimes you want a bit more room, but without having to pay an exorbitant amount to get it. The RAV4 is the answer to this quandary. With room for up to five passengers and up to 73 cubic feet of cargo space, the RAV4 has the interior for a smooth, comfortable journey. In addition, the RAV4 gets up to 30 mpg on the highway and 23 in the city. If you’re looking to up the ante, the RAV4 also comes in a hybrid version that produces 34 mpg city and 31 on the highway. It’s the complete package if you want something affordable and big enough for all of your gear. Plus, its four-wheel drive option allows for some exciting off-road excursions.
Sienna
Some people avoid minivans like the plague to avoid the “soccer mom” moniker. However, those people have obviously never driven the Sienna. Billed by Toyota as the “Original Swagger Wagon,” the Sienna offers great features and the largest cabin in the Toyota lineup. You’ll have no problem fitting seven passengers in the Sienna; or if you’re planning on mountain biking, you can store your gear in the available 150 cubic foot cargo area. It also has a surprising amount of power with a 3.5 liter, V6 engine.
A great road trip is the result of careful planning and amazing company. By adding a great Toyota to that mix, you’re bound to have one of the most enjoyable and memorable road trips of all time.
