Go anywhere in the Russian tundra. Unless you're stuck somewhere, cannot get out of a mudhole or the engine broke down...

You don't start off with a vehicle, they have to be built.

All the edgelords will say it's trash, but I enjoyed RAGE 2 and that has vehicle exploration. It's open world with a relatively small selection of vehicles but the combat is really good and satisfying. Doesn't out stay it's welcome, it'll keep you entertained for the 25 or so hours to finish the story.

In Colony Ship you explore a single vehicle the entire game. Other than the tutorial, System Shock 2 is all about exploring one of two vehicles. The original game might also count, depending on if you define the station as a vehicle or structure.

Strap Yourselves In
Convoy is a decent vehicle game. You're stranded on a planet and have to drive around with your futuristic tractor trailer and a few combat-ready vehicles and destroy all the Lord Humungous wannabes that try to kill your buzz. You pick up weapons to upgrade your cars with and have to find the items to repair your ship.

Had a lot of fun with it, but it does not meet the OP's criteria that you can get out of your cars. There are CYOA type events where you can choose to say "Yes you are great" or "No you stink" or whatever, with the expected results (peaceful resolution maybe, or combat definitely) but that's the only non-vehicular interaction you have with the world.

best. game. ever. it tried to do something unthinkable and pretty much accomplished it. nothing ever came close in replicating such a feel of a breathing, living world... worlds. now that we have enough technology to make even more than that, all we have is an endless stream of dlcs and season passes.

Deep Shadows's games:
-Boiling Point - Road to Hell
-Xenus 2 - White Gold
both with cars and helicopters, also some military vehicles if you have connection or feel brave enough to snatch one

then you have The Precursors that include both vehicles and space ships.
