Top 5 Cars for a Road Trip In India

There’s no better feeling than just packing your bags, leaving your worries behind and hitting the road to go on a trip, be it with your buddies or family. With new and improved roads, and a bevy of amazing locations that are accessible only by road, road tripping has become a very popular form of outing today in India. However, one must choose an appropriate car depending on the type of terrain one chooses to travel. Not every car can take on the wear and tear of long journeys and the challenges posed by difficult terrains. We’ve picked 5 cars that are ideal for road trips. :- 

• Toyota Innova Crysta – The Toyota Innova is definitely the best-handling MPV (Multi Purpose Vehicle) in the Indian market. Its capability to take on long highway journeys with ease are very well known. Despite being an MPV, it’s ability to handle difficult roads and terrain makes it an excellent option for road trips.

• Volkswagen Polo – The Volkswagen Polo is one of the hottest hatchbacks in the Indian market. With the best handling as well. It is one of the most comfortable cars in India making it a joy to drive on highways. Distances are covered at great speeds and this makes it a great option for long distance drives.

• Honda City – The Honda City is not only one of the most attractive looking sedans in the Indian market, but also a very capable one. It is attractive, reliable, decently fast and very efficient. It is available with a 1.5-litre diesel or petrol engine, with manual or automatic transmission options and is an ideal option for road trips.

• Tata Safari Storme – The Tata Safari Storme is a vehicle for true explorers who like adventures with fearless and esteemed drives through mountains, hills or jungles. With 140bhp (brake horsepower), premium interior and rugged looks, the Safari Storme woos roadtrippers.

• Renault Duster –  With rugged looks, advanced powertrain and superb drivability, the Duster is the ideal vehicle to drive in uphill or downhill roads, on freeways or on a beach. It’s one of the best off-roaders on the road today, and affordable too.

    In conclusion, based on the type of terrain one must select his car. For example, even though the honda city is an excellent option for long distance travel, it is not suitable for rocky terrain. In such a situation it is better to use an SUV such as the Safari Storme, which by virtue of having a high suspension is a much better option.
