Our votes for the best road trip cars this year

So which 2024 and 2025 Toyotas should you be considering when choosing the best road trip cars? Here are our top bets.

Toyota Grand Highlander: The Grand Highlander is a newer addition to the lineup at Toyota of Orlando, and our customers can’t get enough of it. It has three full-size rows and seats eight – that means three adults can comfortably sit in the very back and not be cramped. You’ll get 20.6 cubic feet of cargo space even with all the seats up and occupied, and this road-trip-ready car comes with features like a JBL Premium Audio system, Qi wireless charging for devices, and seven USB-C outlets. You’ll also get connected services (including WiFi Connect) as well as a 10-inch HeadUp Display for the driver. It comes in both gas and hybrid models, and the hybrid model gets up to 24 mpg combined.

Toyota Highlander: The Toyota Highlander is slightly smaller than the Grand Highlander, but it’s just as worthy of making it onto the best road trip cars list. It can comfortably seat seven with 16 cubic feet of cargo space. You’ll love the comfortable interior with second-row captain’s chairs, heated seats in the first and second rows, three-zone automatic climate control, and tons of USB and USB-C ports for charging and connectivity. Further, this Orlando Toyota comes in gas and hybrid models and can achieve you fuel efficiency of up to 36 mpg combined.

Toyota Sienna: Ah, the swagger wagon. This Orlando Toyota minivan is anything but ordinary and stereotypical. It’s sleek and stylish, but the interior is packed with features that make it one of the best road trip cars. You’ll find dual power sliding doors, four-zone automatic climate control, Driver Easy Speak, and spacious seating for eight. You’ll even have the option of a second row with captain’s chairs and ottomans. Further, this new 2024 Toyota is a hybrid and gets 36 mpg combined. We also love the Premium Audio with Dynamic Navigation, and a Panoramic View Monitor. Stretch out and hit the highway – you’re commandeering one of the best cars for long road trips.

Toyota RAV4: Ok, so the three Toyotas we mentioned above are powerhouses when it comes to interior space. The Orlando Toyota RAV4 isn’t as spacious as a Highlander or Sienna, but you can still seat five with an unbelievable 37.6 cubic feet of cargo space. It comes in both gas and hybrid models, and the hybrid options get up to 39 mpg combined. Plus, the new RAV4’s interior boasts features like heated and ventilated front seats, multi-terrain select, an optional Premium JBL sound system, and Qi wireless charging. If you want major fuel efficiency and a comfortable, connected interior, then this is a top choice for your best car for road trips.
