2024 Buick Envista 

The Buick Envista is a 5-seat crossover excellent for long Summer road trips. It comes with standard Active Noise Cancellation technology for a quieter ride, and it can feature adaptive cruise control, so you can sit back and relax when you have a few hours to go down the highway. Most importantly, the Envista gets exceptional fuel economy numbers and has enough cargo space for your luggage. Here are some key specs: 

  • Starting Price: $22,400 MSRP 
  • Cargo Space: Up to 42 cubic feet 
  • MPG Ratings: 28 city mpg/32 hwy mpg 

With available steering-wheel mounted controls, the Envista features exceptionally intuitive handling and an ECOTEC 1.2L Turbo engine that gets 137 hp and 162 lb-ft of torque, so the Envista is surprisingly sporty for its price-point. 

2024 Chevrolet Equinox

Like the Buick Envista, the Chevy Equinox is a 5-seat crossover with a large cargo bay, high fuel economy numbers, and a low price point most Nampa drivers can afford. Key specs include: 

  • Starting Price: $26,600 MSRP 
  • Cargo Space: Up to 63.9 cubic feet 
  • MPG Ratings: 26 city mpg/31 hwy mpg 

Despite its affordability, the Equinox can include a switchable AWD system. This will come in handy when you need to take on a back road that seems a little daunting for FWD. And when you’d rather maximize your fuel economy on the highway, you can toggle right back to FWD. The Equinox can also be equipped with a panoramic sunroof, which allows you to enjoy extra natural light on your joyrides! 

2024 Cadillac LYRIQ 

You may not think an EV is the perfect vehicle for a Summer road trip, but the Cadillac LYRIQ was designed to defy expectations on all fronts. When configured with RWD, expect 314 miles of electric range. Meanwhile, the AWD configuration achieves up to 307 miles of range. This Cadillac is more than capable of going the distance. And when you do need to replenish your battery, it won’t take long at all. Charge up to 77 miles of range in 10 minutes at 190 kW Public DC Fast Charging stations. Even more impressive is the unbridled power this Cadillac EV delivers: 

  • Horsepower: 500 hp (from AWD Dual Motor) 
  • Torque: 450 lb-ft (from AWD Dual Motor) 

Finally, the Cadillac LYRIQ includes Super Cruise hands-free driving technology. This autonomous driving system works on hundreds of thousands of miles worth of roads across North America!
