With the choice of the best car for travel, problems often arise, as the requirements for it are increased. Far from ideal Russian roads add to the complexity - not all cars can withstand a long drive in such conditions. The car must be durable, reliable and, depending on the goals, also passable.
Among the main selection criteria, motorists highlight the spaciousness of the cabin, the size of the trunk, the softness of the suspension, and the efficiency of the engine.Additional parameters - maximum speed, performance, maneuverability, landing height.
Everyone travels differently - you can explore the cities of Russia, go to other countries or embark on an extreme tourist tour through the untrodden expanses. It is also worth considering the size of the company - traveling with friends, family or two. The choice of car largely depends on all this. For example, minibuses, minivans and trailers are suitable for those who appreciate comfort and plan to travel for a long time. Crossovers, wagons and hatchbacks are optimal for city trips. And for thrill-seekers, hunters and fishermen, a good SUV will be an ideal choice.
