Car for travel - in Russia, Europe. For a family with a big tank

Autotourism is a very common phenomenon today throughout the civilized world. How wonderful it is to race along a good autobahn at high speed to the sea or travel around America, admiring its canyons and national parks ...

In order for the trip to evoke only positive emotions, choosing a car is the most important task.

Agree that you can go on wanderings on Lada Kalina or Daewoo Matiz, but it will be problematic to sit out for several days in such a cramped cabin. Yes, and such budget cars do not have special reliability, and we absolutely do not need the costs of replacing stabilizer struts or anthers of steering rods on the way.

You can list a set of elementary requirements for a car for long trips:

• roomy and spacious interior with a trunk;
• soft suspension - you can’t ride on a hard suspension for a long time, even on flat German autobahns;
• good technical characteristics;
• economical fuel consumption;
• speed.

Those people who do not particularly consider money choose minivans, one of them is Volkswagen Multivan and its modification specifically for those who like to ride long distances - Volkswagen California. Such a roomy minibus will cost from two to three million rubles, but you get everything you need:

• lifting roof with awning;
• folding sofa in the salon;
• lower and upper berths;
• side table;
• lockers for clothes;
• compartment for a gas cylinder and a small stove.

Plus, there is a water tank, a stretch awning, air conditioning, an on-board computer with a navigator and a multimedia system. In fact, this is a small motor home in which everything is provided for long trips.

And there is another masterpiece from Volkswagen - T5 Doubleback. There is not only a lifting roof and all the other “chips”, but also a retractable additional structure, which automatically makes the interior twice as long. Such a house on wheels costs about 90 thousand US dollars.

You can remember the famous American trailers, but they are all rather large minibuses and buses that cost a lot of money. If you prefer cars, SUVs and crossovers that would be suitable for travel and for daily driving around the city, then in this category you can find excellent options.

Streamlined midsize car Toyota Prius. One of the main features is a hybrid engine - the electric motor also acts as a generator, so that fuel consumption in the extra-urban cycle does not exceed 5-6 liters.

The trunk volume is 445 liters, in the back seat a person under 1,8 meters tall will feel quite comfortable, the driver has an excellent overview.

The car has improved aerodynamics. You can't drive the Prius off-road, but for long trips - that's it.

For long trips, city crossovers and SUVs are perfect, of which there are a lot now. But traveling in an SUV is a solution, perhaps not the best, after all, their fuel consumption is high. Nissan Qashqai, VW Tiguan, Cherry Tiggo, Renault Sandero Stepway and many other models - these are all examples of cars for trips to distant lands.

Roomy trunks and spacious interiors, good driving characteristics, moderate fuel consumption - everything you need during a long trip.

A special type of car, which is especially popular with Europeans and Americans today, is station wagons. A great example of a generalist is Subaru Outback. It will not be cheap, but the car is excellent in terms of characteristics, especially after the last update. You can take a bunch of things with you, and bikes or a kayak can be fixed on the roof. The car has four-wheel drive, consumption in the extra-urban cycle is approximately 7 liters of gasoline.

You can pay attention to the updated 7-seater Lada Largus. 5 adults can easily and comfortably accommodate in the cabin. The rear seats can be removed and you get a spacious trunk of 560 liters.

Well, it’s impossible to get past the “heels” Peugeot Partner Tepee or Renault Kangoo. There are both commercial vans and passenger options. A Kangoo gasoline engine consumes an average of 7-8 liters, and diesel engines are much more economical - just over five liters of diesel per hundred.

That is, we see that the choice is really wide and you can wander around the world with comfort and breeze.
