Three Great Summer Road Trip Vehicles

There's a summer holiday weekend coming up, so why not take a road trip? We selected three great vehicles that we recently tested that would do well in taking you, your crew and everyone's gear on the highway. We like these vehicles for their roominess, comfort and fuel economy.
Happy and safe travels.

TOYOTA HIGHLANDER

With seating for up to eight passengers, you can take your whole crew. The 2014 model was redesigned and now offers passenger and cargo room. Fuel economy is not bad for a vehicle of this size, at 18 mpg city, 24 highway.

KIA SORENTO

Last year, this model got a significant makeover, with the new style carrying forth this year. This crossover seats up to seven, and offers better comfort and steering than the previous model. It gets good gas mileage.

CHEVROLET EQUINOX

You can get this model with a four-cylinder or six-cylinder engine, and if you take the four banger, you can get up to 32 mpg on the highway. It seats five, and is a top safety pick of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
