Chinese people have a kind of "big for the beauty" psychology, when buying a car like the appearance of tall, spacious interior model, 7-seat MPV model just fits the needs of consumers. In the past few years, 7-seater cars have been very hot in the market, and car companies have laid out in the MPV market and launched a number of new 7-seater models.
The 7-seater car has two more seats than the 5-seater car, can accommodate more people, and is very friendly to a three-child family. Stimulated by the three-child policy, many people have taken the 7-seater car as their first choice. I thought the 7-seater car would go all the way, but this was not the case. According to the statistics of the Association of Automobile Associations, the cumulative sales volume of MPV vehicles in China in 2021 will be 790,000 units. Compared with 1.09 million in 2020, it is down nearly 30% and 42% from 2019.
Why don't everyone buy a 7-seater car? Some people think that it may be because everyone has no money. The economic situation in the past two years has not been good, and many industries have been sluggish. The price of MPV models is not cheap, and the pressure to buy a car is relatively large, so smart people go to buy cars or SUVs.
In fact, it is not because everyone has no money, otherwise where did the more than 22 million car sales last year come from? Everyone does not choose a 7-seater car mainly because after buying a 7-seater car, they found that the disadvantages of a 7-seater car are more than the advantages. Many people regret buying a motor vehicle, selling the car within two years and changing to a 5-seater car.
What are the disadvantages of a 7-seater car?
Poor space utility
Many people initially choose to buy a 7-seater car, which is attracted by its space capacity. Because a 7-seater car has two more seats than a 5-seater car, the seats of the vehicle are increased, and the space inside the car is definitely more spacious. However, after buying a car, the owner found that there is no difference between the 7-seat car and the 5-seat car, it is two seats added on the basis of the original wheelbase, in order to make the riding space more spacious, the car company compressed the trunk space.
And the distance between the 3rd row of seats and the front seats is very narrow, and people with a slightly larger body will feel very constrained when sitting in the rear seats, and their knees are always on the 2nd row seats. Usually when going out, they can only let the children sit in the back row, or use the back row as a trunk.
Parking was not easy
The number of cars in the city is increasing, the city roads are very narrow, and the parking spaces are very dense. However, if there is an irregular parking of a car, it is very difficult for the MPV car to park in the parking space. Mini cars with short bodies and 5-seater cars have a much less difficulty in parking spaces. Sometimes the owner of the MPV is still adjusting the direction, others have already parked the car in the parking space, the owner can only drive to find a new parking space.
Insurance costs are high
Take the compulsory traffic insurance, the private car with less than 6 seats is 950 yuan per year, the 7 seats and above is 1100 yuan, the cost of the 7-seat car is higher than the cost of the private car, and the cost of other commercial insurance is also high, and the annual insurance premium alone will be more than the 5-seat car to pay thousands of dollars.
No exemption from inspection
Private cars with less than 6 seats can be exempted from online testing for the first 6 years, and they can receive an annual inspection pass mark at the vehicle management office every two years. The 7-seater car has to carry out online testing every two years every year, originally the annual inspection is the most headache for the owner, and now even the exemption can not enjoy, many people feel unacceptable.
Comments:
Many people buy a 7-seater car is to go to its space, the result of the actual use of the car only to find that when it can be full, there are really few, a 5-seater car can basically meet their daily needs, so everyone is not willing to waste this money to buy a 7-seater car.
