I think that many friends now encounter a very common problem when choosing a car, that is, when choosing a vehicle for multi-person travel, they are always troubled by seven-seatER SUVs and MPV models, and this problem seems to be becoming more and more common.
To figure this out, we have to have some requirements for the use of cars, and it seems to be a very wise way to find the answer from our own needs.
Why do we choose multi-seat models?
The original intention of choosing a multi-seat model must be that the five-seat model is not enough seats, and there will be more than five people when traveling every day, which is the main reason why many car companies are launching six-seat or seven-seat cars.
The key is that the problem is that when many people travel, there is also a need to distinguish between the situation, for example, some users choose the seven-seater SUV model mainly for emergency, so that you can actually choose the SUV model.
Thanks to the high body posture of the SUV model, it is inevitable that there are more road conditions to choose from than the SUV model, and the third row of seats can be reclined under daily conditions, bringing more volume to the trunk.
Of course, the opposite situation is not a minority, if your daily car demand has exceeded five people, then you naturally need to choose a seven-seater model, then the MPV will definitely have a better effect at this time.
MPV models are actually the ultimate solution for multi-person travel, we are talking about almost all MPV models, because at the beginning of the design, its products have taken into account the comfort of the sixth and seventh, so that in the subsequent use of the car process still does not need the second row or the first row of passengers to make any compromise can sit comfortably.
However, there will also be friends who are obsessed with choosing a seven-seat SUV model because they yearn for poetry and distance, which is really a bit difficult to see.
The seven-seater SUV models on the market are basically derived from five-seater models, so such models still have a lot of compromises in space, and maybe each one can sit comfortably, but there will be many compromises in the trunk space.
As a result, many people do not have enough luggage space when traveling, and fish and bear paws cannot be combined, which may be the two sides of things.
In fact, it is not difficult for us to find that when problems arise, it is often the most effective to solve them through the simplest and most direct methods, that is to say, when multiple people travel become just needed, it is still the MPV model that becomes the most useful and efficient solution.
There are still many ways to choose MPV models, for example, some MPV models are built according to the platform of SUV models, and the threshold for getting on the car is too high, which is very unfriendly to the elderly and children.
The representative models here are mainly Kia Ka Wah and Volkswagen Weiran.
Kia Kahua, as an MPV model with high sales in overseas markets over the years, after entering China, it seems to be a little tired, the current sales in China are very dismal, the sales volume in November is 608 vehicles, as of November there are only 2218 vehicles, this sales volume is far from the sales of China's own brand Trumpchi M8 in a month.
SAIC Volkswagen Weiran, which is a model built from the MQB platform, as the platform of the entry-level model of the Volkswagen Group, the MQB platform can be said to have made great achievements, but in Weiran, it has not seen any improvement in sales.
Volkswagen Weiran completed sales of 1384 vehicles in November, and as of November, there were only 9391 vehicles, which was only 2202 more than the 7189 units sold by Trumpchi M8 in a single month, with almost no reference value.
The failure of these two models actually lies in the optimization of space, and from the perspective of product strength, it has been too different from serious MPV models.
On the contrary, if the product strength of an MPV model is good enough, the strength of the hexagonal chart is strong enough, and the skill points are upgraded enough, there will naturally be amazing points in sales.
Obvious examples are Honda's two MPV models, the Odyssey and the Alexand.
Although Alexand appeared later than the Odyssey, instead of being snubbed by the market, the overall performance in the market was also very good, which directly determined that its retention rate could be in a stronger advantage in the market.
The retention rate of Alexand in 2021 has reached the top, and the Odyssey is only secondary, from the market performance of these two models at this stage, we can see that there is no shortage of excellent products in the MPV market.
In addition, the space performance of Alexand and Odyssey is also very good, known as the space magician honda car, the third row of seats of these two MPV models can be fully put down and stored, seven-seater cars become four-seater cars in seconds, and the trunk space is almost infinite.
Finally, I still want to say that if you choose a car or follow your own needs, don't make irrational choices on impulse, buy it back and regret it, it will be very uncomfortable.
Starting from your long-term needs, choosing the most expensive one in your car purchase budget will not be far from the correct answer.
