Many Americans are hesitation of flying because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Driving is an option to minimize your exposure to giant crowds and have the opportunity to see some sites this summer. You can also further reduce your social touch during a holiday on the road driving a vehicle with an exceptionally long range.
A typical gas vehicle can travel about three hundred to 400 miles before gas avoids. Edmunds experts evaluated 4 cars with EPA-estimated levels well above average. Each vehicle represents an express category: truck, SUV, sedan and electric vehicle.
The EPA calculates diversity by multiplying a vehicle’s combined mpg estimate (it’s a combination of city and road driving) with the capacity of its fuel tank. A vehicle that gets 20 mpg combined and has a 20-gallon fuel tank, for example, would have an estimated diversity of 400 miles. You can also make your own calculations by using the amount of road mpg in a vehicle to determine whether its diversity will help you travel the distance of a trip.
There are many charming and attractive destinations at your fingertips, especially if you have a long-range vehicle. Here’s how to get there.
CAMION: RAM 1500 2020
The Ram 1500 is the queen of diversity when supplied with rear propulsion and two optional features: the V6 turbodiesel and a 33-gallon fuel tank. The EPA estimates a maximum diversity of 598 miles between full bases based on the Ram 1500 diesel fuel tank. This diversity of balloons at 858 miles with the optional 33-gallon fuel tank.
Edmunds’ testing on the Ram 1500 and its diesel engine recommends that EPA estimates be conservative; Chances are you can travel 900 miles or more with a single tank. The Ram also has impressive technological features, world-class towing capability and stylish road driving.
MPG estimated via EPA: 26 combined (22 cities / 32 roads)
Estimated epa autonomy: 598 to 858 miles
Initial value for this range: $33935 (including destination)
VUS: FORD EXPEDITION MAX 2020
The Ford Expedition Max is a giant three-row SUV with capacity for 8 passengers and plenty of shipping space. This only makes it a wonderful vehicle for families. As an added bonus, it also comes with a huge 30-gallon fuel tank. Stick to road driving and you deserve to be able to travel without problems six hundred miles before you have to refuel.
If the Expedition Max is too big for your needs, you may also need to look at the new Ford Escape 2020 plug-in hybrid. This small SUV has approximately 530 miles in a single tank, which is an impressive feat for such a small vehicle.
MPG estimated via EPA: 19 combined (17 cities / 23 roads)
Estimated epa battery life: 570 miles
Initial value for this range: $57530 (including destination)
SEDAN: HYUNDAI SONATA HYBRID 2020
The redesigned Hyundai Sonata Hybrid is a spacious and sublime midsize sedan. Its superior fuel economy and giant tank also allow it to pass enough at once. Intermediate and superior equipment levels, the SEL and the Limited, offer an impressive 620-mile diversity. The fundamental blue border is passing even more: 686 miles. The blue border, however, lacks some of the more fun features of the sonata.
Hyundai also offers the hybrid Ioniq. It is a smaller sedan offering a forward-looking diversity of 690 miles. But we prefer the Sonata for its extra area and comfort, which is for a long trip.
MPG estimated via EPA: 52 combined (50 in the city / 54 on the road)
Estimated epa battery life: 686 miles
Starting price for this range: $28,725 (including destination)
ELECTRIC VEHICLE: MODEL S TESLA 2020
The Tesla Model S is one of the fastest acceleration cars you can buy. And in its Long Range Plus form, you can offer the longest battery life estimated by the EPA for an electric vehicle: 402 miles of battery life with a fully charged battery. This is at most double the estimate for other electric vehicles.
Access to Tesla’s national Supercharger network is an advantage. These patented fast chargers are the most populous cargo network in the United States. Twenty to 30 minutes is all it takes to recharge the Model S’s battery enough to continue its journey. The Model S’s navigation formula will even advise you before the next supercharger station.
EPA-estimated efficiency: 29 kWh/100 miles or 117 mpg equivalent combined (121 city/112 highway)
EPA-estimated range: 402 miles
Initial value for this range: $76190 (including destination)
EDMUNDS DIT: These high-end cars offer a balance between practicality, convenience and natural staying power with a fuel tank. All you have to do is your destiny.
