Some kind of LoRa radio would do well. This 433 mhz one would have long range with a bidirectional link.
Haven't heard of LoRa before - is it some kind of alternative to zigbee?
It has been presented to me as an alternative to GSM. It's short for Long Range. They marketed it as a product for smart city, not smart home.
But of course that doesn't mean you can't use it that way.
I can almost guarantee you that you will sit in your car and scream bloody murder because the WIFI ist not connecting.
My products had to work with a lot of other networks around and were built on a Model 3 B, maybe it has improved since then.
Sadly I can't point you into the direction of solutions because we just switched to Ethernet.
