Explore the Midwest: 5 Road Trips Perfect for Your Hyundai

Summer is calling, and for Hyundai drivers around Chicagoland, that means one thing: road trip season. Whether you’re behind the wheel of a fuel-efficient ELANTRA HYBRID, the family-friendly SANTA FE, or the adventure-ready TUCSON, there’s no better way to experience the Midwest than with your Hyundai leading the way. From scenic lakefront drives to small-town charm, here are five road trip destinations that pair perfectly with the smart features, comfort, and reliability Hyundai drivers love.

Starved Rock State Park – Oglesby, IL

Just two hours from Schaumburg, this natural gem is a must-visit. Hike through sandstone canyons, view waterfalls, and recharge among the trees. With available HTRAC All Wheel Drive in your Hyundai, winding roads and rugged trails are no match.

Lake Geneva, WI

A weekend in Lake Geneva offers everything from lakeside relaxation to boutique shopping and summer festivals. Use your Hyundai’s built-in navigation and Smart Cruise Control to make the journey smooth and effortless.

Galena, IL

Step back in time in this historic town known for its 19th-century architecture and rolling hills. The panoramic sunroof in models like the SANTA FE HYBRID makes the scenic views even better, while wireless charging ensures your devices are ready to capture it all.

Indiana Dunes National Park – Porter, IN

Just over an hour from Chicago, the Dunes are ideal for beach lovers and outdoor explorers. Thanks to Hyundai’s Smart Park Assist (available in select models), tight beach parking becomes a breeze.

Holland, MI

A hidden gem along Lake Michigan, Holland combines Dutch charm with sandy beaches. Drive up for the Tulip Time Festival or a relaxing beach day—the drive is as enjoyable as the destination, especially with your Hyundai’s Highway Driving Assist keeping things safe and easy.
