6. The Green Car
The eco-chick who wants to drive something that says, “the only thing I’m plugging into…is a Turbo Cord car charger” is right at home in a car that can do anything, from traversing creek beds to climbing mountains. And, the best thing about driving an all-electric Jaguar I-PACE? You never have to stop for gas.
7. The Classic SUV
Women made these cars what they are: Cars that enable our adventures and our families, and are as good for the soccer carpool as they are for date night. From our favorite Ford Explorer to the Tesla Model X, these are designed and built with the women in mind.
8. Hatchbacks – Not Just for Him
For the woman in need of a car that is as much a global success as she aims to be, hatchbacks can be the true answer. They are flexible, fun to drive and are popular the world over. In this country, they have been co-opted by men, but we are starting to object. The Mercedes-Benz A-Class has a more serious drive and commands the respect you deserve!
9. The Minivan
Nothing screams this-woman-is-ready-to-rule-the-world, or the brood, like a minivan with booster seats and forgotten juice boxes. Yet a ride like the Honda Odyssey will still keep you drivin’ it like it’s hot.
