What car is suitable for a 7-seat family car?

For high-quality MPVs with household price ranges between 200,000 and 250,000, I prefer the imported Volkswagen Sharan, and I recommend it as a car owner.

What is home use? Home use means that this car will not have a dedicated driver, and every member of the family with a driver's license (especially the hostess) can drive it when they need to go out. , drove well. Therefore, the car body cannot be too long while ensuring a certain amount of space, especially in large and medium-sized cities, with crowded roads and tight parking spaces. Look at which female driver can drive a 5.3-meter-plus GL8 to and from school all day long. Study and go shopping in the supermarket? Therefore, the body of a car that is truly suitable for home use cannot be too long. Sharan’s body length is 4.854 meters. It is on the same level as the Odyssey and can be said to be very suitable for home use!

Family car safety is very important! After all, we need to take the whole family on a long trip or something. Sharan is imported from Europe and is produced in accordance with strict European safety standards. Needless to say, main airbags, side airbags and curtain airbags, and knee airbags are standard equipment in all series! Tire pressure monitoring (alarm), body stability, traction control, hill start assist, front and rear radar, rear impact beam and pedestrian protection foam between the bumpers. These are the most basic requirements in European safety standards! Looking at the Guangmoto Odyssey, models that can equip all these configurations cost more than 300,000 yuan, while the imported Volkswagen Sharan can be owned for less than 190,000 yuan! Not to mention the material rigidity and sheet metal of the body and chassis, the Odyssey is not even qualified to compare with Sharan!

The driving experience of a family car is very important! After all, you have to drive the car yourself, rather than paying a full-time driver to drive it. Sharan's front subframe is made of aluminum alloy. Anyone who knows anything about cars knows how much higher the cost of an aluminum alloy front subframe is compared to the cost of a steel stamped subframe. Domestic joint ventures dare to use aluminum alloy subframes on cars. What grades are they at? The weight of the engine compartment at the front of the vehicle is greatly reduced, allowing Sharan's center of gravity to be moved rearward to increase driving stability. The lower swing arm is made of aluminum alloy, which is high in strength and light in weight, greatly reducing the unsprung weight and making it extremely maneuverable! The rear wheels are independently suspended and the thick front trailing arms ensure suspension strength and excellent driving quality! After all, the German design standard for Sharan requires that it run at a speed of 190 kilometers per hour on the German mainland's unrestricted highways with excellent safety and control and stability. It can be said that in terms of driving quality, no MPV on sale in China is as good as Sharan! In this regard, Odyssey is not qualified to compete with Sharan!

Let’s talk about the most debated issues between 223 and 232, 223 in terms of comfort, 232 in terms of practicality! If you already have a few grocery carts at home and want to buy a taller MPV, then you can buy a 223 model such as the new GL8 or Alison. But if you choose a home MPV as the only car in your home, I advise you to choose 232! The MPV with 232 layout has flexible seat space changes and combinations, and can pull both people and cargo. Its practicality is unmatched by the 223! The comfortable boss seats in the second row of 223 are obtained at the expense of the utilization of internal space. There are levels of distinction in companies, but in a home environment, higher space utilization and relatively better safety (mainly for the fifth occupant in the car) are the fundamental issues that need to be considered! Many people buy the 223 with a long body (more than 5 meters) because of the large space and the comfort of the second row. In the end, I found out that no one could drive this product except me at home! It’s even harder to find a suitable parking space when walking through an alley! Of course you said you live in Horqin Grassland and I won't argue with you. But there are really few people who don’t regret buying a large 223MPV for home use in big cities! The 232 medium-sized Sharan is really a good choice for those who pursue quality homes in the household field ranging from 190,000 to 250,000 (actual selling price after discounts)!

Finally, Sharan’s door hinges are cast (the same as those of Golf), and their performance in terms of sturdiness, impact resistance and post-impact deformation are better than those of Japanese brands represented by Odyssey. ! Sharan's front door is stamped in one piece, with no redundant welding points, and is stronger than Japanese multi-point welded doors! Sharan's rear wheel holes are wrapped with sound insulation felt, which has a very good vibration and sound insulation effect! Also, Sharan's cotton interior materials are very good. When I took my new car home and opened the windows and sewed them shut for about half a month, the wind basically had no smell! Moreover, Sharan has a rear anti-collision beam, which is made of 2.52 mm thick hot-formed steel.

The advantages of Sharan lie in its workmanship materials and excellent driving quality, as well as the Germans’ understanding of the essence of the family car concept! The disadvantage lies in its overly low-key appearance and relatively old-fashioned interior with some comfort configurations and the so-called 232 layout (fortunately, the current model is the last generation Sharan model on the PQ46 platform, and it will be replaced with a new appearance and interior on the MQB platform next year). However, the starting price of less than 190,000 cash is still very worthy of consideration for a relatively calm and pragmatic dad who values ??inner qualities more than appearance.

After my parents retired, last year I drove a group of 6 friends from Xinjiang to Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan for 2 months while walking and playing along the way. I drove a friend’s Nissan nv200. This year they are about to drive from Xinjiang to Guangxi for fun. I gave my dad a Maxus G50. In comparison, the G50 has a lot of vertical space, and the legroom in the third row is very good, but the seat cushions are a bit low. Fortunately, the headroom is very large and you can add your own butt pads. It can be very comfortable for 6 people on long distances. The trunk is very small, so I plan to buy a roof box to put it in. I bought a 7-seat car for my dad. He can travel for 2 months a year and do more than 6 people a day. It’s worth it! The key is I gave my dad a car and he was very happy haha
