Christmas Tree Transport: Top five cars for getting the tree home

Picture this: It's a crisp December morning, and you've just picked out the perfect Christmas tree. It's tall, beautifully adorned with ornaments, and smells like the essence of the holiday season. Now comes the tricky part – getting that festive behemoth home.

So, what are the best cars for the job? We’ve picked out five models we think make excellent Christmas tree haulers. Which one will you be driving home for Christmas?

Skoda Superb Estate

If you're in the market for a car that can handle your Christmas tree with ease, the Skoda Superb Estate should be at the top of your list. This estate not only offers ample cargo space but also boasts a host of practical features that make it a Christmas tree hauling champ.

The Superb Estate comes with a cavernous 660-litre boot, which can easily accommodate even the grandest of Christmas trees.

Fold down the rear seats, and you'll have a whopping 1,950 litres of space at your disposal – perfect for those extra-large holiday evergreens. With a low loading lip and a wide opening, loading and unloading your tree is a breeze too.

But the Skoda Superb Estate doesn't stop at just space. Its comfortable ride and efficient engines make it a pleasure to drive, even when you're carrying a tree that's as tall as Santa's sleigh. So, if you want a car that can handle your Christmas tree and still provide a luxurious driving experience, the Skoda Superb Estate is the way to go.

Mazda MX-5

Now, I know what you're thinking – a two-seat convertible like the Mazda MX-5 for transporting a Christmas tree? Believe it or not, it can be done, and it might just be the most stylish way to do it (provided you don’t have a passenger).

Simply drop the top, plop the tree in the passenger’s footwell and strap it in with the seatbelt. See what we mean? You'll be the talk of the town as you glide along. But just remember to secure the tree properly, unless you want to leave a tinsel tornado in your wake.

If you’re dreaming of a green Christmas and want to transport your tree in a modern masterpiece of throwback design, there’s no denying the ID.Buzz is the perfect sleigh for the job.

Honda Jazz

The Honda Jazz may not be the biggest car on the road, but it makes up for its compact size with clever engineering. Its versatile Magic Seat system allows you to configure the rear seats in various ways, creating extra space for transporting your tree.

With the rear seats folded flat, you'll have a surprisingly roomy cargo area that can handle a medium-sized Christmas tree with ease. The Jazz's compact dimensions also make it a breeze to navigate through tight city streets, so you can pick out the perfect tree without breaking a sweat.

So, if you need a car that's compact, practical, and can still handle your Christmas tree duties, the Honda Jazz is a small wonder that's up to the task.

Citroen C5 X

Is it a crossover? Is it an estate? Is it a hatchback? The C5 X is a bit of all three actually, which makes it a great option for Christmas load lugging. Despite its swooping rear end, drop the rear seats and you’ll have an exceptionally lengthy load bay that should handle a 6ft tree with ease.

It’s not just a practical option, but a rather stylish and original one too. If you want to transport your tree in a car exuding French elegance and offer it a supremely comfortable ride, the C5X is the tree-lugger for you.
