Chevrolet Groove

The Groove is the easygoing crossover of the bunch, more about comfort and a high seating position than hardcore trails. It gives you that raised view over Bavaro traffic and a soft, settled ride on the Coral Highway without the thirst of a big SUV. Five seats and a decent cargo area cover a family's beach kit or a weekend of bags for a run to Bayahibe. The automatic is relaxed, the cabin is airy, and the whole thing is simple to park at the resort. We hand it over at your hotel or PUJ with insurance sorted, from $40 a day. A smart middle choice for anyone who wants SUV comfort and the view, but mostly sticks to sealed roads.
