Taking your pet for a ride should be fun and easy. A lot of your experience will depend on the vehicle that you drive. Here are some top picks for the best pet-friendly vehicles of 2022.
Top Pet-Friendly Vehicles of 2022
2022 Chrysler Pacifica
The Chrysler Pacifica made it to our Top Family Vehicles of 2022 list and it’s here on this list for many of the same reasons. It’s functional, eco-friendly and the only plug-in hybrid electric (PHEV) minivan on the market. It’s low to the ground which makes it easy for pets to get in and out. It also has Stow ‘n Go® seating that folds flat to the floor giving your pooch plenty of space. Or, you can use the under-seat storage for things like toys, bowls, blankets, leashes and more.
2022 Honda Odyssey
Another minivan that we couldn’t resist for our pets is the 2022 Honda Odyssey. It’s got an in-cabin camera that lets the driver see what’s going on in the second and third rows—perfect for monitoring your pet! Plus, it has second-row Magic Slide® seats that will make it easy for your best friend to get in and out of the vehicle.
2022 Jeep Wrangler
If adventuring with your pup is the goal, look no further than the Jeep Wrangler. The Jeep has earned it’s Trail Rated® badge and can get you through all types of terrain. Plus, with removable windows and top, your dog will love all the sights, smells and you can both enjoy the wind in your hair… or fur.
2022 Kia Soul
Super affordable and super funky, the Kia Soul is a fantastic option. There’s plenty of cabin room and it also comes with Kia’s Rear Occupant Alert system which uses ultrasonic sensors to monitor the back seat for movement. If movement is detected after the vehicle is locked, an alert is sent to the driver’s phone. This can help prevent accidentally leaving your fur baby in the car and could be a life saver in our squelching SoCal summers!
2022 Ram 1500
If you need something rugged for the work week but that’s still comfortable for your pet, the Ram 1500 could be the right fit. Great for towing and hauling, the Ram 1500 also offers a spacious cabin with easy-to-clean seats and floors. Remember, it’s never safe to allow your pet to ride in a truck bed, which is why the 1500’s excellent cabin is so important.
2022 Subaru Outback
Are you and your pet weekend warriors? If you like a comfortable ride during the week, but enjoy the outdoors on the weekend, the 2022 Outback has got you covered. Not only that, but it has cargo hooks in the back are a perfect way to tie down a pet crate. Plus, the StarTex® water-repellent upholstery makes it easy to clean up water, drool or accidents.
Pet-Friendly Ride
Any of these vehicles would be wonderful for your furry friend. Remember to always secure your pet in your vehicle with a harness or pet seatbelt adaptor. Safety is always first, and when it comes to your pet, you’ll want to treat them like a VIP—Very Important Passenger.
