Frequently asked
What's the absolute minimum boot space I need for clubs?
A standard golf bag is around 48-52 inches (122-132 cm) long. You'll need a minimum of 350-400 litres of usable boot space, but crucially, a wide and deep aperture to fit the bag horizontally or diagonally without removing woods.
Is fuel economy really a factor for a luxury GT?
Absolutely. Over a 600-mile journey, the difference between 25 MPG and 35 MPG translates to significant fewer fuel stops and hundreds saved in the tank. It’s not about being cheap, it’s about uninterrupted progress and arriving refreshed.
Should I prioritise horsepower over ride comfort for such a trip?
For a major golf road trip, ride comfort and refinement trump outright horsepower every time. You'll spend hours at cruising speeds, not attacking apexes. A smooth, quiet cabin and supple suspension will make a greater difference to your arrival state than a few extra tenths to 60 MPH.
Are electric GTs viable for a 600-mile journey to a major?
Increasingly, yes. While range anxiety remains for some, models offering 350+ miles WLTP are closing the gap. The critical factor is reliable, rapid charging infrastructure along your specific route. Plan meticulously, or consider a hybrid for peace of mind.
