In fact, during Christmas, many drivers spend countless miles on the road travelling to see friends and family, which in itself is a little bit of a road trip. So if you’re planning to do some big miles this winter, which car should you check out? We’ve picked some of the best.
Volkswagen Arteon
Volkswagen’s Arteon is easily one of the most stylish cars on sale today, but it’s also one of the most comfortable. In fact, when equipped with Volkswagen’s clever adaptive suspension, it can be made soft enough that it irons out all of the worst of the UK’s road imperfections, which will help those miles to breeze by.
And if you’re after a more performance-focused version, there’s the range-topping ‘R’ and its 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine to check out.

Audi A6 Avant
As far as long-distance cruisers go, the Audi A6 Avant is one of the best. As an estate car, it’s got more than enough space for everything that you and your passengers could want to bring along, yet it’s also great to drive and really comfortable too.
The A6 also features some of Audi’s latest technology, including a dual-screen infotainment system which is both great to look at and easy to use.

Honda Civic
Honda’s new Civic has only been on the roads for a few months now, but it’s already making quite the impact. There’s a reason for that; it’s great to drive, eye-catching to look at and packed with loads of equipment. Its efficient hybrid engine is another real plus, too.
It’s also got a well-sized boot and loads of rear-seat space, so both driver and passengers will have more than enough room to stretch out over long distances.

Land Rover Defender
If your winter road trip takes in some challenging conditions, then the Land Rover Defender is the car for you. Available in both 90 and 110 body styles - which bring short and long wheelbases respectively - the Defender is packed with off-road tech that’ll ensure it keeps going no matter what the weather throws at you.
Plus, an even more spacious 130 version is on the way if you want an even more practical Defender.

CUPRA Born
Electric cars shouldn’t be discounted from winter road trips. Though colder temperatures do often have a negative effect on an EV’s range, the CUPRA Born’s large battery means that you’ll still have plenty of miles in the ‘tank’ to tackle longer journeys.
It’s also packed with cutting-edge technology and has a real futuristic look that makes sure it’s like nothing else on the road today.
