A list of the best cars for enjoying the great outdoors as ranked by US News, with photos. Economy, practicality, and handling have all been considered. SUV's first and foremost are outdoor recreational vehicles (and don't let anyone tell you otherwise). These vehicles will get you to the beach, the slopes, or your favorite hiking trail. Regular automobiles are great, but sometimes you need something with a little more utility. And sportiness is always good!
