These days, finding a car with a built-in refrigerator, coolbox, or other drink-cooling feature is harder than you might think. While fridges were never a popular option, many more car makers offered them than today. For example, the Ford Flex offered a genuine (if small) refrigerator until the end of its run in the 2019 model year. The Honda Odyssey used to offer a box chilled with air from the vehicle’s HVAC system, but Honda discontinued it a few years ago. Volkswagen used to offer cooled glovebox compartments, but that feature is no longer available. The Cadillac Escalade just dropped its refrigerator in favor of a cooled box for 2025. Why? The culprit is probably a lack of demand. Still, supply chain issues during the post-pandemic era and the proliferation of other electricity-hungry features like wireless device charging contribute, too.
Whatever the cause, few brands still offer some sort of refrigeration in the vehicle, and those that do are generally at the luxury end of the spectrum. The most luxurious vehicles on the planet pretty much all come with or offer some type of refrigeration — nearly every vehicle from Rolls-Royce, Bentley, and Maybach can be fitted with a champagne cooler or the like.
On the other end of the spectrum, we have the pickup trucks and their drainable bed boxes. These boxes aren’t refrigerators; they allow you to pack them like ice chests for easy bedside beverage enjoyment (or bait or lunch). Somewhere between the bed boxes and the true fridges, we have the heated/cooled cupholders and HVAC-cooled compartments, which you’ll primarily find in luxury cars. Still, there are more attainable examples.
When the refrigerator, coolbox, or other cooling technology is not standard equipment on a vehicle, we have noted the option or package and its price. All quoted prices include the destination charge.
Here are the vehicles with built-in fridges, coolboxes, drainable bed boxes, and more. If you want to shop for a used vehicle with one of these options, we’ve included some of those, too. Vehicles are listed in alphabetical order by automaker.
Built-In Refrigerators
1. 2025 Cadillac Escalade
Starting Price: $90,295
Price With Refrigerator: $119,795
Undeniably large and luxurious, the 2025 Cadillac Escalade is, perhaps surprisingly, among the more affordable vehicles available with a true refrigerator inside. To get it, you need only opt for the Premium Luxury Platinum or Sport Platinum trims and the $700 option to add the front center console fridge, which offers space for six 500-ml bottles. It also has a freezer function, which will cool the compartment to 23 degrees Fahrenheit. Like most in-car refrigerators, this unit only runs when you run the engine, but is insulated to help maintain its temperature when stopped.

2. 2025 Jeep Grand Wagoneer
Starting Price: $87,040
Price With Refrigerator: $101,040
Powerful, capable, and luxurious in its upper trims, the 2025 Jeep Grand Wagoneer combines people- and cargo-moving with off-road ability and on-road towing capacity, and therefore offers many reasons to need a fridge. To get the fridge, you only need to select the Grand Wagoneer Obsidian or either one of the Series III models, all of which include the fridge standard. Like the Cadillac unit, the Grand Wagoneer’s cooler is in the front center console.

3. 2025 Land Rover Defender
Starting Price: $58,825 (Defender 90)
Price With Refrigerator: $59,725 (Defender 90)
Unsurprisingly, the Land Rover brand offers the most extensive line of built-in refrigerators in the business since their vehicles are all about overlanding with style and substance. The 2025 Land Rover Defender makes it easy to keep your drinks cool on the trail and is surprisingly affordable. The front console-mounted refrigerator requires the $900 Comfort and Convenience Pack, available on all Defender models, including the Defender 90, 110, and 130, although some models include it as standard equipment. The Comfort and Convenience Pack includes a cabin lighting system with 10 customizable modes.

4. 2025 Land Rover Discovery
Starting Price: $61,825
Price With Refrigerator: $63,886
The 2025 Land Rover Discovery might not look as futuristically rugged as the Defender, but it’s a capable off-roader in its own right and civilized on-road, too. There are two routes to obtain the fridge in the Discovery: You can choose the base model and add the $2,061 Comfort Pack, or you can opt for the midtier Dynamic SE, the more loaded Meridian, or the fully loaded Tempest, each of which includes the fridge and a host of other upgrades. The Comfort Pack includes 4-zone climate control, configurable cabin lighting, a powered inner tailgate, and ionizing cabin air purification. The smaller Discovery Sport doesn’t offer the fridge option.

5. 2025 Land Rover Range Rover
Starting Price: $109,725
Price With Refrigerator: $111,995
As iconic as the Defender, the 2025 Land Rover Range Rover is a luxury mainstay, especially if you want that luxury also to be ruggedly capable off-road. The front center console fridge in the Range Rover is available on any model or body style with the addition of the $2,270 Comfort Pack (price varies based on trim level). The Range Rover includes electric rear side-window blinds, 4-zone climate control, twin-blade sun visors, an enhanced version of the ionizing cabin air purifier, and a fridge.

6. 2025 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
Starting Price: $85,325
Price With Refrigerator: $87,515
As the smaller, sleeker, sportier alternative to the Range Rover, the 2025 Land Rover Range Rover Sport offers a more street-friendly vibe with just as much elegance and a healthy dose of off-road ability. The $2,190 Comfort Pack, available on all trims that don’t include the fridge as standard, brings the front center console fridge compartment, laminated front and rear side glass for better noise and UV blocking, 4-zone climate control, twin-blade sun visors, and the top-spec cabin air purifying system.

7. 2025 Mercedes-Maybach EQS-Class SUV
Starting Price: $181,050
Price With Refrigerator: $182,150
In the 2025 Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV, we come to the other sort of in-car refrigerator, located in the rear seat and meant for a different adventure, although it does come with a disclaimer to obey local laws. Whatever you might be enjoying in the back seat of your EQS SUV, however, you’ll have to tick the box for the $1,100 option, or you’ll be limited to heated and cooled cupholders, which come with the $0 Executive Rear Seat Package. If you’d like to include a pair of handcrafted silver champagne flutes with magnetic holders by German silversmiths Robbe & Berking, that’ll be an additional $800 for the holders, plus an undisclosed amount to buy the flutes from your dealer.

8. 2025 Mercedes-Maybach S-Class
Starting Price: $204,650
Price With Refrigerator: $214,950
If you’d prefer the non-electric sedan take on Maybach excess, the 2025 Mercedes-Maybach S-Class might be the one for you. To get the fridge in the S-Class, no matter whether you choose the S 580 or the range-topping S 680, it’s as simple as ticking the $1,100 option box for the rear-cabin refrigerator. In order to tick that box, however, you’ll also have to add heated and cooled cupholders, folding tray tables, and a 4-seat cabin configuration for $6,000 with the Executive Rear Seat Package Plus, plus $3,200 for a pair of silver-plated Robbe & Berking champagne flutes to complete the rear-seat luxury experience. The total comes to $10,300.

9. 2025 Mercedes-Maybach GLS-Class
Starting Price: $179,600
Price With Refrigerator: $180,700
The 2025 Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 SUV combines opulence with ability and space, and while you’ll certainly pay for it, it also delivers on the luxury front. The Maybach GLS’s fridge is a standalone option ($1,100), like with the Maybach EQS SUV and Maybach S-Class, and you can acquire the silver champagne flute holders for $800.

2. 2025 Land Rover Range Rover Velar
Starting Price: $62,975
Price With Coolbox: $64,575
Like its fellow Range Rover models, the 2025 Land Rover Range Rover Velar’s fridge option comes with a Comfort Pack (in this case, $1,600), but unlike those models, it’s not an actual fridge. Instead, the Velar uses the vehicle’s HVAC system to duct cool air into the glovebox, helping to keep items cool but not entirely functioning as a true refrigerator.

3. 2025 Lexus GX
Starting Price: $65,585
Price With Coolbox: $73,400
Closely related to the Toyota Land Cruiser, the 2025 Lexus GX gets an HVAC-cooled center console box. It’s a $170 standalone option on the more off-roady Overtrail and Overtrail+ trims.

Cars Available With Third-Party Refrigerator From the Dealer
A wide range of Chevrolet, Ford, Toyota, and Lexus vehicles are available with dealer-supplied and installed third-party travel refrigerators. While these are not as cleanly integrated as built-in units, they are considerably larger, more capable fridges, and they can also be removed from the vehicle, making them ideal for extended camping trips or other longer-term uses. Off-roading-focused brands like Dometic or ARB typically supply these fridges. Some of the cars compatible with these fridges include:
Used Cars With Built-in Fridges and Coolers
As mentioned above, several mainstream models used onboard cooling options. Here are a few great options for a used mainstream car, truck, SUV, or minivan that offers an in-car fridge, cooled cupholders, or bedside storage. Remember that with some used models, your dealership may be able to install one of the third-party fridges mentioned above. — Allyson Harwood
1. 2010-2016 Ford Flex
Price Range: $6,500-$12,000
The Ford Flex is a boxy, practical 3-row vehicle with a minivan’s step-in height and an SUV’s style. A refrigerated second-row console was an option until the 2016 model year. According to Ford, it “can chill up to seven 12-ounce cans, four half-liter bottles or two 20-ounce bottles to 41 degrees Fahrenheit; the freeze mode drops to 23 degrees Fahrenheit.” The fridge was an option for the 2010-2016 Limited and 2011-2012 Titanium models. You can also look for the coolbox in 2010-2019 Lincoln MKT EcoBoost and Reserve models.

2. 2011-2017 Honda Odyssey
Price Range: $7,400-$16,500
One of the best family cars on the market, the Honda Odyssey is user-friendly, comfortable, and reliable. For 10 years, it was available with a cooler box. The cooler box isn’t a refrigerator or freezer. Instead, the cool box uses cold air from the air conditioner to keep cool drinks cool. The feature was initially standard in the 2011 Odyssey EX-L, Touring, and Touring Elite trim levels and was available until the 2017 model year. If you also want the onboard vacuum cleaner, look for a 2014-2017 Touring Elite.

3. 2022-2023 Toyota Tacoma Trail Edition
Price Range: $32,000-$38,000
For two model years, Toyota offered a Trail Edition of the Tacoma. Based on the SR5, this 4-wheel-drive Double Cab has an inch more ground clearance and a locking differential. It also has TRD-sourced skidplates. But what’s most important for this story is that there’s insulated storage for drinks on the driver’s side of the bed.

4. 2009-2017 Volkswagen Tiguan
Price Range: $4,800-$9,800
If you’re looking for a vehicle with a cooled compartment, Volkswagen has you covered. They had a feature that let you choose when to allow cool air from the AC system into the glovebox. Turn a dial inside the glovebox, and it gets a wee bit frosty in there. This clever feature came standard on the Tiguan compact SUV from 2009 to 2017 — and the short-lived carryover 2018 Tiguan Limited — plus the Touareg, Jetta, Passat, CC, Eos, Golf GTI, and Golf R.
