For many of us, the Holidays mean packing up the car and hitting the road to visit family and friends. Whether you’re driving across New York or heading out of state, a little preparation (and the right vehicle) can make all the difference.

At Bay Ridge Honda, we know that holiday travel should be about comfort, convenience, and peace of mind. Luckily, Honda’s lineup of SUVs and sedans is designed with all three in mind — making every mile of your holiday journey smoother and more enjoyable.

Here are our top holiday road trip tips and a look at the Honda features that help make traveling easier this season.

Smart Packing Starts with Space

One of the best things about Honda SUVs – from the Honda CR-V to the Pilot and HR-V – is their flexible interior design. No matter how much you’re bringing along, there is a Honda that fits your plans AND your presents.

• Honda CR-V: Offers up to 76.5 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats folded — perfect for luggage, gifts, and all those extra coats.
• Honda Pilot: Need to fit the whole family and the holiday feast? With seating for up to eight and an available hands-free tailgate, the Pilot makes packing effortless.
• Honda HR-V: Compact and efficient, yet versatile — the Magic Seat® system allows you to configure your space for everything from suitcases to skis.

Road Trip Tips for a Safe and Smooth Ride

Even the best planned trips can have surprises… before you head out, take a few minutes to make sure your Honda is in top condition!

• Schedule a pre-trip inspection at our Bay Ridge Honda Service Center.
• Pack your Emergency Kit – you can pack this yourself, or make use of the pre-assembled Honda First Aid Kit.
• Plan your route and rest stops using the Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System™.
• Keep everyone entertained with rear-seat entertainment in models like the Honda Odyssey and Wi-Fi® hotspot capability.

Explore Convenience Features That Simplify the Journey

Holiday travel can be hectic. Even after preparing for your trip, Honda’s intelligent convenience features continue to make every moment stress-free.

• Take advantage of the Hands-Free Power Tailgate on models like the CR-V and Pilot.
• Stop digging through your pockets for keys with Smart Entry – your vehicle will unlock automatically when you approach.
• Start your vehicle from inside your home or holiday cabin. No waiting for the engine to warm up on cold days.
• Stay connected with Wireless Apple CarPlay® & Android Auto™ – you’ll never miss a message!
• Keep everyone happy on long trips with Tri-Zone Automatic Climate Control available in models like the Pilot and Odyssey.
