The right car for a relaxed and flexible summer journey
Summer is travel season – whether it’s a quick day trip, a weekend getaway, or a longer holiday with friends or family. Depending on your destination and travel plans, different types of vehicles make sense. Here are our tips to help you choose the perfect ride – no matter where the road takes you.
Driving in the city or covering short distances? A compact car is the ideal choice. It's fuel-efficient, easy to park, and with air conditioning, it stays comfortable even at 30 °C and above.
Tip: If possible, choose a model with a light-colored interior – dark seats heat up faster in the sun.
Planning a day by the lake, a mountain hike, or a countryside escape? An SUV or crossover offers more ground clearance, comfort, and trunk space – ideal for picnic baskets, beach gear, or hiking equipment.
Tip: Make sure the trunk space is sufficient – especially when traveling with friends or family.
Heading to a holiday home in the south or a lakeside camping spot? A van or minivan with multiple seats and plenty of storage is perfect for family trips. Travel stress-free with everything you need – from strollers to coolers.
Tip: Built-in sunshades or tinted windows help keep the interior cool and comfortable on long drives.
Even in summer, style and professionalism matter – whether for business meetings, formal events, or special occasions. A comfortable sedan or mid-size car with a quiet ride and a sleek design is your go-to option.
Tip: Some newer models offer seat ventilation – a real plus when it’s hot outside.
Looking to drive more sustainably? EVs are especially efficient in warm weather. With low energy consumption, access to many charging points, and features like pre-conditioning, electric cars are a smart summer choice.
Tip: Use your provider’s app to check battery status and find available EVs – no surprises when you’re ready to hit the road.
