Hitting the road for adventure travel involves packing a lot of “stuff.” Whether you kayak, ski, camp, or participate in any other outdoor activity, you will need a vehicle that can carry all the things you need to make your activity possible. Let’s take a look at three of the luxury SUVs that are ready to handle all your outdoor adventure gear.
BMW X5
The BMW X5 was designed for those who want to escape from it all at a moment’s notice. BMW has designed a Sports Activity Vehicle that is luxurious enough to drive to work every day yet rugged enough to take out when you want to explore. The X5 offers a powerful engine, great styling, and, most importantly, a spacious interior and ample storage.
The BMW X5 has a spacious interior that is both luxurious and comfortable. Passengers will appreciate the optional comfort rear seats. This feature allows one to recline and add up to 3″ of additional leg room space. If you aren’t traveling with many passengers, this extra rear sear area is perfect for hauling all of your activity gear.
Leave nothing behind with the X5, which features one of the largest cargo spaces of any BMW vehicle. The cargo area offers an expansive 35.8 cubic feet of storage area. The cargo space can expand to a whopping 76.7 cubic feet when the rear seats are folded down. Should you require additional seating rather than cargo space, an optional third row seat with its own climate control is available.
There are two optional add ons that adventurers will want to consider to add more storage space to their X5. The roof rack system is designed to carry bikes, skis, kayaks, and other cargo. Drivers can also opt to add a CFC-free electric cooler bag to keep food and drinks cold all day long.
Bentley Bentayga
Bentley makes the claim that the Bentayga is unlike any other sport utility vehicle in the world, and that it is the fastest SUV ever built. This all terrain car offers a very powerful engine with a luxurious driving experience. The technically advanced engine and Mulliner Driving Specification are standard, with options to customize the cargo area to meet your adventure travel needs.
The Bentley Bentayga has an Event Seat which makes outdoor events extra cozy. The patented sliding and folding seat is trimmed in leather and finished with beautiful diamond quilting. Enjoy a comfortable, shaded seat while tailgating, camping, or enjoying any outdoor adventure or event.
The Bentayga allows the owner the opportunity to create a custom cargo area. One early model of the Bentayga held a bespoke fly fishing kit, complete with custom rods, reels, and a built in cooler. Other optional sporting accessories can be included to meet the demands of sports such as skiing, snowboarding, surfing, cycling, and more.
Cadillac Escalade
The Car Gurus have rated the Cadillac Escalade #1 for the SUV with the most cargo space. In addition to a vast interior and spacious cargo hold, the Escalade offers luxury with power when you need it. Effortlessly shift between 2WD, 4WD, 4 LOW, and auto to manage whatever roads lie ahead of you.
The Escalade can seat up to 8 occupants. The interior features fine natural materials like wood trims and leather. A wireless charging station comes standard, which is perfect for long road trips. An optional 4G LTE built-in Wi-Fi® lets you stay connected wherever you are.
The expansive cargo hold is perfect for all your travel and sports needs. The Hands-Free Liftgate open and closes with a simple kicking gesture. This feature lets you access the cargo area even when your hands are full. The standard Trailering Package gives you a 8,300 pound pulling capacity which can meet most of your towing needs. A center console cooler stores and chills up to 6 twenty ounce drinks so you can leave the cooler in the cargo hold.
