Below, we take a look at the most likely candidates for Santa’s ride if Santa’s reindeer needs a year-long vacation.
Volkswagen Beetle with Christmas theme
Chris Kringle was spotted around Las Vegas driving a Christmas-themed Volkswagen Beetle earlier this month.
The Beetle’s primary red livery and Santa belt painted on the bonnet show everyone coming to town.

Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat
Santa attacks many homes in a limited amount of time, so the high performance Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat is a perfect match.
With an $81,000 SRT Hellcat V8 engine with 707 horsepower, who needs to fly a reindeer?
With this horsepower, Dodge models go from zero to 60mph in just 3.9 seconds.
The SRT Hellcat’s top speed is equally impressive at 203mph.

mercedes benz sprinter van
Christmas Eve with Santa involves a lot of cargo, so a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van provides extra storage space for big jobs.
This light commercial vehicle is priced up to $57,000 and has a maximum cargo capacity of 319 cubic feet.
Thanks to the model’s new all-wheel drive system, Santa can easily cruise in his Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van.
Complementing this all-wheel drive capability is the quieter 9G-Tronic transmission.

Lincoln Navigator L
Lincoln’s $92,685 Navigator L is the ideal vehicle for Mr. Krause, as it is 221.9 inches long and has a towing capacity of up to 84,000 pounds.
When Santa steps into Lincoln’s Navigator, the SUV’s gorgeous 22-inch wheels, revised signature grille and updated 3D headlights will take center stage.

ford bronco raptor
The road to a successful Christmas isn’t always smooth.
When Santa has to go off-road to deliver presents, Ford’s Bronco Raptor is a hard choice to beat.
The Bronco Raptor blazes new trails with huge 37-inch all-terrain tires, upgraded suspension and 418 horsepower.

toyota prius
Consistent gas mileage is a key asset in Santa’s global Christmas Eve journey.
Thankfully, Toyota’s new Prius can drive the Centric for 57 miles on a gallon of gas.
