With flying a faff and train journeys expensive, the attraction of just jumping into a car for long journeys still makes a lot of sense - not least for families looking at summer holiday destinations. To succeed in this environment a long-distance car needs a combination of qualities, including refinement, comfort, roominess, efficiency and plenty of tech to keep you both safe and entertained.
Our winner for Best Car for Long Distances 2022 has all of this and more, so put your hands together for the Skoda Kodiaq. A big, comfortable SUV, the Kodiaq is perfect for those long roadtrips loaded with everything the family needs on a summer holiday. You can run it as a seven-seater for carrying people, or fold away the third row and make the most of the space for five and the huge boot that leaves. While you can have it with a petrol engine, diesel power still makes sense for a long-distance car: the Kodiaq’s 2.0-litre TDI offering relaxed cruising, excellent efficiency and plenty of miles between fill-ups. With the choice of sporty vRS or luxurious Laurin & Klement versions at the top of the range you get style and kit to suit your tastes, the Kodiaq also offering excellent value for money. No wonder it’s a winner here!
