8 – Masterson Horizon
This one is also one standard car, has the same stats as the Chevalier Dart, and also has a quiet engine. What makes it equally good for a more stealth approach.
7 – Dash Bulldriver
The Bulldriver has ample storage and one of the most powerful engines. however, on the other side makes it significantly louder so you definitely get the zombie’s attention when going to town.
6 – Dash Rancher
If you prefer to keep away from the towns the Dash Rancher is one of the best cars to move in the wild. As a small car only has two seats and not much space for your stuff.
5 – Franklin All-Terrain
As the name suggests, Franklin All-Terrain is a great choice to go off-road. This powerful heavy-duty car with four seats also has a high storage capacity and is one of the most difficult vehicles to find in Project Zomboid.
4 – Chevalier Cossette
If you want to move fast, really fast, the Chevalier Cossette is the car for you. This one is the fastest car in Project Zomboid, allowing you to cross big distances in no time. However, don’t expect to take too many items with you due to this limited space.
