Best Cars and Trucks for Outdoor Fun and Adventure

Summer inspires all sorts of fun and cool activities, from the beach to the highest mountain tops. Naturally, some vehicles are better equipped than others to meet the needs of outdoor enthusiasts. They have the versatility, the technology and the capability to take on any terrain or adventure. Here’s a selection of the best cars and trucks for those who want to explore the world.

Above: The Subaru Outback ($29,295) is obviously one of the preferred vehicles of adventure and outdoor enthusiasts. It needs no further presentation.

The new 2019 Ram 1500 ($42,585) can tow up to 12,750 pounds, so it has no problem with your boat or camping trailer.

The 2018 Audi A4 allroad quattro ($47,800) is just as classy in the city as it is competent in the country—or anywhere else.

The 2019 Jeep Cherokee ($29,995), with a maximum towing capacity of 4,500 pounds and a rugged off-road model called Trailhawk, makes most compact SUVs jealous.

Let’s stay in the family with the next-generation 2018 Jeep Wrangler ($34,445), the ultimate off-roading legend that comes in a host of configurations.

The Volvo V90 Cross Country ($59,500) is a highly refined wagon that fits perfectly among the Rockies. It doesn’t fear getting wet, either!

The Ford F-150 Raptor ($69,649) is the perfect pickup for jumps and bumps, sand and mud.

The Volkswagen Golf Alltrack ($34,345) was named Canadian Car of the Year in 2017. It’s a great alternative to SUVs with 4MOTION AWD technology and extra ground clearance.

The entire Land Rover lineup could appear on this list, frankly. We’ll show you the Discovery ($63,900). Any doubt or objection?

The Toyota Sienna minivan ($34,690) has the largest cargo capacity of any vehicle on the market at 4,250 litres. Imagine all the camping or sporting gear you could haul!

If your definition of adventure includes seaside road trips, no car will be more fun than the little Mazda MX-5 ($31,900).
