      A road trip is the best way to explore destinations, nature and enjoy intimate journey with family and friends. Driving your car to a destination gives an immense pleasure, adventure and freedom. It’s more convenient and economical than the rental services. If you are planning a road trip in India to some remote areas, this can become quite long due to road conditions and weather. That said, all plans make sense when you have a comfortable and powerful vehicle that can withstand against adverse road and weather conditions.

      SUV cars with better visibility, high ground clearance, more space and a commanding road presence make the best choice for challenging Indian terrains. Here’s a list of 10 cars that you might consider for such trips.
