20 Cool Road Trip Cars

17. Subaru XV Crosstrek

The Subaru XV Crosstrek is a return to a time when Subaru used to make station wagons. Granted Subaru still calls the Outback and Forester “wagons” but let’s be honest, those vehicles are basically SUVs that are squatting close to the ground. This mini crossover has the look and feel of a wagon with just slightly more elevation. As with all Subarus, the all-wheel drive is standard, but the 40 inches of driver headroom, the 43 inches of legroom and combined 52 cubic feet of cargo space with the seat down are all more SUV than Subaru wagon. The 33 mpg highway rating makes the XV a cost effective choice for a road trip vehicle as well. Bluetooth connectivity, voice controlled navigation, and automatic climate control round out the already great features of this wagon.
