GETAWAY to GALENA in a BMW X7 Nestled in northwest Illinois, Galena is the perfect place for a weekend escape. 85% of the town is a national historic district, giving you the feeling that you’ve stepped back in time. If you manage to tear yourself away from the red-brick quaintness of it all, you’ll find rolling hill country that’s just as charming to drive. For this trip, we recommend the BMW X7. Three rows of seats fit up to seven passengers, while the Merino leather interior and Integral Active Steering ensure a comfortable ride. Hanley Dawson IV, president of the Patrick Dealer Group, calls it “the best driving-engineered car – it’s so fun to drive, it may even take your mind off the kids for a bit.” With warm weather finally here, we’ve lined up three summer road trips and the perfect luxury cars to take them in.
CAMPING the SLEEPING BEAR DUNES in a LAND ROVER DEFENDER If adventure calls, the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore in Michigan offers stunning lake views and towering sand dunes rising as high as 450 feet.
ESCAPE to GREEN LAKE in a CADILLAC ESCALADE
Few places match the summer charm of Green Lake, Wisconsin, a lakeside community known for fishing, boating, and water sports.
To make the drive from Southwest Michigan and
Northwest Indiana, the Cadillac Escalade is a great choice. With 8,100 pounds of maximum towing capacity, this SUV can haul your boat with ease. Meanwhile, its spacious interior accommodates up to eight passengers, making it ideal for family getaways. “This is the biggest family car you’re going to get,” says Dawson.
For this rugged trip, look no further than the Land Rover Defender 110. With an off-road brake system and the ability to wade through three feet of water, the Defender 110 makes camping a modest ask. Plus, it has plenty of room to haul your gear. No matter your road trip style – sporty, luxurious, or adventurous – there’s a perfect ride for your getaway. So, pack up, hit the road, and make this summer unforgettable.
