Nowadays, there are more and more young families with children. Compared with the freedom of the two people in the world, their mentality of becoming parents has obviously become more stable. Clothes, toys can be put in place, but travel has become a major problem for them, after all, in order to meet the needs of the whole family comfortable passengers, but also to take care of the baby's many bits and pieces of accompanying items, an SUV, obviously has become the first choice for "families with children".
Today, I would like to recommend three 150,000-level joint venture brand SUVs, namely Dongfeng Nissan Qashqai, GAC Toyota Fenglanda and FAW Toyota Corolla-Ruifang, to see how they perform in terms of space, comfort and driving control, and who is more suitable as a "family with children" travel car.

Space: Qashqai is bigger and more comfortable
Because of the need to take care of children and the elderly, the comfort requirements for the car are relatively high. Children are active, most of the time is "unable to sit still", if the space is more narrow, it is more depressed, easy to cry. From the perspective of size data alone, the wheelbase of Qashqai's 2646mm and the width of 1837mm maintain the lead among the three cars, the Fenglanda is the longest, and the Ruifang adopts the same architecture as the Fenglanda, so the length, width and height are basically the same as the Fenglanda.
It is worth mentioning that Nissan has always had the title of "sofa factory", so Qashqai once again won in terms of seat comfort. The Qashqai front seats are wide and soft, and both the length of the seat cushion, the height of the wings and the fit of the backrest are very in place, which can form a good sense of wrapping for the body and reduce the situation of left and right swaying when cornering.
In addition, in terms of materials, Qashqai is also more powerful and can bring more comfort. The center console, the central handrail, the door panel and other positions have applied a large area of soft wrapping, and the workmanship is also at the upstream level, even if the child is naughty and playful or the elderly are inconvenient with their legs and feet, they do not have to worry about bumping into it, which is very friendly to them.
Not only that, thanks to the long wheelbase and body width, the trunk space of the Qashqai is the largest of the three cars, reaching 486L, which is very easy to install, whether it is a large toy for children, a stroller, a barbecue for adults, and picnic supplies.
Driving control: Qashqai driving control is better
Often drive with children to travel, naturally can not step on the accelerator, the stability of driving is very important. In terms of power system, the three models have adopted a combination of 2.0L naturally aspirated engine + CVT stepless transmission, which is smooth and fuel-efficient to drive, and there is no power lag caused by turbocharging, and the smooth performance of the CVT gearbox in low-speed conditions is also better, which belongs to the category of peace-saving and practical.
Although it was born on Toyota's proud TNGA platform, there is still a big gap between Fenglanda, Ruifang and Qashqai in terms of driving control. Born on the CMF professional SUV platform jointly developed by Renault-Nissan, Qashqai adopts the full-frame subframe standard for luxury cars, which is more secure in handling and safety.

Different from the torsion beam rear suspension of Fenglanda and Corolla-Sharp, the multi-link independent suspension used by Qashqai is obviously more sincere, and when changing lanes or high-speed corners, Qashqa's multi-link independent suspension can provide more lateral support points and stronger lateral rigidity, improving the stability of lane changes and corners.
The combination of the professional-grade SUV chassis and the independent suspension of the front and rear allows the Qashqai to lead the same level in handling performance, and the high ground clearance of 183mm also allows it to have better passability, go out, even if it encounters bad roads.
Configuration: Qashqai once again wins in terms of intelligence and security
The fast-paced pace of urban life has made children spend less and less time alone with their parents, and the car has become a second space besides home. How to let people spend a safe and pleasant parent-child travel time, the blessing of intelligent technology is very important.
In terms of the Internet of Vehicles, Qashqai is equipped with a 9-inch touch screen and built-in Nissan's latest Nissan Connect super intelligent connection system, which can not only realize voice control, remote control, online services, full-time navigation, audio-visual entertainment, remote monitoring, but also support OTA online upgrades, and there are new surprises every time you use. In the car, you can turn on the air conditioner, answer the phone, and even listen to songs, navigation, etc.; outside the car, you can view the vehicle status in real time through the mobile phone APP, set up electronic fences, and remotely open the air conditioning in the car when the weather is cold or hot, and the level of intelligence of the car machine is very high.
In addition to the richness and practicality of functions and services, the performance of the Qashqai machine system in terms of details is also in place. Domestic consumers are familiar with AutoNavi map, iQiyi video and other APP all have, you can also achieve the car scan code refueling, enjoy refueling discounts and other operations, very good.
On the other hand, although the car machine system of Feng landa and ruifang also supports remote control, voice interaction, remote upgrade of the vehicle system OTA, car home interconnection, remote air conditioning, stolen tracking and other basic services, but the online video and service details are not as good as the Qashqai, there is still room for progress.
It is not easy to travel with a baby, and the child's play is easy to distract parents, and driving is inevitably trembling. In terms of active safety, Qashqai is also more equipped than Toyota's two models. In addition to active braking and lane keeping assistance, Qashqai is equipped with front and rear parking radar, AVM panoramic intelligent monitoring, BSW lane change blind zone warning, MOD moving object/pedestrian warning, EAPM throttle mistracking correction from the most popular model, and the driving recorder is the standard of the whole series, and the decentralization of the safety configuration is very sincere.
On the other hand, Fenglanda, even the top model is still only equipped with a rear parking radar, and functions such as parallel line assistance and reversing side warning have not kept up with the trend, not to mention the special features such as Qashqa's self-developed throttle error correction. However, fortunately, the Performance of Fenglanda and Ruili from the TNGA architecture is still outstanding in terms of passive safety, and the front and rear airbags, side airbags, knee airbags, etc. are equipped, and the upper tire pressure display and the reminder that the seat belt is not fastened are also enough, which can basically meet the needs of daily cars.
It is very tiring to carry a baby every day, and it is a little easier to drive. In this regard, the three cars have their own highlights, all equipped with L2 level automatic driving assistance system, after opening can achieve automatic cruise, and keep the vehicle in the middle of the lane, automatically adjust the speed or brake when encountering emergency road conditions, in the crowded section of the city with many cars, many people, traffic lights do not need to frequently change the throttle and brake, alleviating long-distance driving fatigue when the whole family travels on weekends.
summary
Overall, the three SUVs performed well in all respects. However, compared with Fenglanda and Ruifang, Qashqai is better in terms of richness and practicality of the configuration, which is worth recommending. If you have a "baby plan" now, or can't make up your mind, listen to me, take a SUV pit first, and you won't regret it later.
