The UK’s Favorite Roads

As millions prepare for Christmas road trips across the UK, a recent survey of over 3,000 Volkswagen owners has revealed the nation’s favourite motorways. Topping the list is the M6 in Cumbria, loved for its stunning Lake District scenery and the convenience of Tebay services.

Close behind are the M4 and M40, with the M40 highlighted for its fast and picturesque route through the Chilterns and Cherwell Valley.

Top 5 UK Motorways:

Other well-loved routes included the M62, which features the iconic Stott Hall Farm and reaches England’s highest motorway point at 1,221 feet above sea level. Scotland’s M74, M8, and M9 also ranked highly, with the M5 earning praise for Gloucester’s popular farm shop services.

Electric Cars Fit for Long Holiday Journeys

Volkswagen’s range of electric vehicles (EVs) proves ideal for extended holiday drives. Most of the brand’s ID. cars have a range sufficient to cover 500 miles with just one charging stop, according to WLTP calculations.

The survey, conducted in November, involved 3,132 Volkswagen owners, 58% of whom drive EVs.
