The summer vacation industry is one that generates billions of dollars every year in the United States, and one of the most entertaining ways to experience those vacations is by driving to your destination in a luxury automobile practically made by the car gods exclusively for road trips.
While there are plenty of autos that could serve as great road trip vehicles (KBB.com actually just put out a list of what they consider to the be the ten best road trip vehicles in the industry), we here at Fields Motorcars would strongly recommend the 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class as a hatchback/crossover of choice for those long summer trips.
Yes, the GLA-Class is mentioned on that KBB.com list of road trip vehicles, and it is lauded for being really fun to drive, especially the GLA45 AMG® trim, which features a turbocharged four-cylinder engine capable of producing 355 hp and 332 lb-ft of torque. That does make acceleration pretty entertaining, and over the course of a long haul a driver could definitely get their money's worth on performance alone.
The other nice thing about the GLA-Class as a road trip vehicle is its hatchback body style that allows for a little more storage than, say, a sedan. It looks incredibly sporty and defies standard categorization, making it unique and interesting vehicle that can handle long road trips with ease. Stop by your friendly neighborhood Mercedes-Benz dealer any time to take one for a test drive, because there's still plenty of summer left to make the most of it as a top-notch road trip vehicle.
