Drive Rallyhas 12 different cars — with two upgrades each — to choose from to win races, and all of them have different driving feels and stats that make them a good choice for a variety of situations. With so many tracks and terrains to choose from, it can be daunting to know which are the best vehicle choices of them all (and why).
As mentioned, each CL car comes with an RS and XR upgrade, and they tend to be amassive step up from each other. When it comes to Rally racing though, it’s all about speed, and getting the best time possible. Because of the different tracks and types of terrain, cars with better grip that can take corners well will be the' go-to for winning races more often than not. So, cars that have a good all-round stat base and can take players across the finish line quickly, no matter the situation, tend to be the better choice.
12The Hawk
Difficult Handling And Bulky Car Size
The Hawkis heavy and difficult to handle, especially when players are starting out with the CL and RS versions. It struggles to take corners, and tends to perform badly on tracks that have more twists and turns than others. The RS and XR upgrades at least afford four-wheel drive for better grip, but if players take a corner badly or mess up a drift, it’s going to be a serious challenge to recover.
While the Hawk does have its place, there are other cars inDrive Rallythat do exactly what it sets out to, just better. Overall,it’s not a bad pickfor races on Snowy terrain and can help keep control of the car on icy patches, but even in that case, the Sandsturm or Holzwagen would be a better pick.
11The Vitello
Difficult To Handle Due To Its Speed
This car is a slight step up from the Hawk because it isn’t as awkward to control, giving it better handling overall. It performs quite well on tracks that don’t feature many corners, and it can reach some crazy speeds, but it’s going to be a challenge on longer and more complicated tracks and terrain.
The upgrade from the CLVitelloto the RS is very noticeable, with the CL being nearly impossible to keep control of while trying to drift or take corners while maintaining speed. This car will struggle on slippery terrain like Dirt and Ice, and because of its size, it tends to lose a lot of its speed potential on more cramped tracks in the Forest. It excels quite well in the Desert, but because it’s not the best choice overall, it ends up quite low in the rankings.
10Das Bretzel
One Of The Slowest Cars Available
TheBretzelstruggles with speed, especially before it’s upgraded to the RS and XR versions, which means players may struggle to find value with this car. It performs slightly better than the Vitello and Hawk on different terrains because it’s not as big and difficult to control, but overall, the power to mass ratio doesn’t pay off very much.
If players are looking for something that will be good for precise driving, mostly on Forest tracks, the Bretzel would be a good option. Given the speed it does manage, it doesn’t lose very much when turning corners. However, players may struggle to regain control on dirt and icy tracks if they lose it.
9The Sideways
Good Speed Hindered By Car Size
TheSidewaysstruggles with the same problems players may find with the Hawk and Vitello, in that it doesn’t deal well with narrow tracks. It has some fantastic speed potential hindered by its suspension, and this tends to get worse the more upgrades it receives.
Despite this, though, it’s asolid choice for mostDrive Rallytracks that don’t require a ton of control to excel on. The mass to power ratio is one of the best on the list so far, and the four-wheel drive afforded by the RS and XR versions does tend to circumvent control issues on more slippery tracks.
8The Speed Runner
Excellent Control Despite Massive Size & Slower Speed
TheSpeed Runneris heavy, with a lot of power, and it excels on most terrains and tracks. Its main downfall is how big it is, so, like the Hawk and Vitello, players may find themselves struggling to gain speed on tracks with a lot of corners. Forest tracks are a particular weakness for this car because of how cramped they can be.
Despite this weakness, though, this car has excellent control, and it’s a nice choicefor players who are all about precision driving. It has a slight bit of wheel wobble on the CL and RS versions, but once the XR upgrade is unlocked, players won’t find themselves lacking in handling.
7The Alfabetta
Middling Speed And Challenging Handling
Despite being one of the few cars with four-wheel drive available in each version, theAlfabettastruggles to stay on the road and deal with slippery terrain inDrive Rally. It can get up to some nice speeds considering its mass on all versions, but tends to slip and slide all over the place more often than not.
This weakness does not make it a bad car though, because it’s compact enough that it can excel on cramped tracks with a lot of corners if players know how to manage their drifts. It’s a solid, middle-of-the-road option, and is fairly reliable for any driver who can get its handling under control.
6The Brick
Impressive Speed And Good Control
TheBrickis an impressive car because, despite its size, it handles well enough that it can find success on all kinds of tracks and terrain inDrive Rally. It has great speed potential, and it’s not as heavy as it looks.
It’s a really nice choice for Snowy terrain — especially the RS and XR versions — and with good enough precision driving, its size won’t be much of an issue on Forest tracks either. It’s basically a better performing Alfabetta with a slight size setback, but it caneasily become a favoritecar if players get comfortable with it.
5The Jumper
Great Speed But Challenging To Control
One of the lightest cars on the list, the Jumperhas great speed and handling. While the CL may struggle slightly on dirt and icy tracks where it’s easy to lose control, the four-wheel drive upgrade on the RS and XR versions negates this issue completely. It’s also nice and compact, making it a good choice for most kinds of tracks inDrive Rally.
The main issue with this car is that it struggles to gain speed quickly. Once it gets there, it’s great, but this also means that players will find themselves taking longer to recover from corners than they might like. In the worst case scenario, it takes almost as long as the Hawk to get back on its feet.
4Das Holzwagen
Great Power With Light Mass For Quick Speed Gain
Coming up to the cream of the crop is theHolzwagen, which is a light car with exceptional power for its size and mass. This car is a dream to handle, and its compact size makes it a fantastic choice for Forest tracks.
The caveat is that the CL can feel a bit clunky to control, and the massive upgrade you get with the RS version is very plain to see. This isn’t necessarily a good thing, because it’s hard to get a proper feel for the car and all its upgrades from the get-go. Players may struggle slightly with precision driving, because it can be a bit heavy on drifting, but otherwise, it’sone of the best carsfor all track types.
3Das Sandsturm
Amazing Grip But Slow To Gain Speed
Coming up in the top three, theSandsturmis also one of the few cars with four-wheel drive in each version. It’s relatively easy to master, and players will find themselves succeeding on pretty much all tracks and terrains. It struggles slightly to gain speed as easily as some of the other cars, but won’t lose the speed it has gained on corners.
Overall, it’s one of the best cars throughout all versions and doesn’t lose much quality in lower upgrades. The four-wheel drive gives good grip, the size of the car makes it easy to handle on Forest tracks, and it has solid power capabilities to gain speed quickly.
