It is the time of spring travel, although the epidemic situation has been a bit severe recently, I believe that with everyone's efforts, this haze will dissipate, and we can drive to enjoy the grasslands in the north and feel the birds and flowers in the south. So what exactly is the best car for a family to travel by car? The answer, of course, is MPV.
Characteristics of MPV
Obviously, since 2010, many Chinese consumers like to buy SUV models, but in recent years, the sales of MPV models have gradually increased. With the construction of the mainland highway network and the renovation of rural county roads, it is now almost difficult to encounter bad road conditions when traveling. The biggest advantage of the SUV at present is the large space, which can take a family of three and luggage to find poetry and far away. But MPV models are even better in this regard, with MPV having a large and comfortable cockpit space, flexible storage conditions, and more comfortable driving and riding than SUVs. This is also one of the reasons why MPV has become popular in recent years, and even many people have begun to rent MPV to travel and drive.

To say that in the Chinese market, the classic case of new models overpowering old models should also be said to be Dongfeng Honda Alexand, last year's sales reached 48270 units, while the sales of the sister model Odyssey of Guangqi Honda next door were 43384 units. But it should be known that honda odyssey entered the Chinese market as early as 2004, and Alexand only came to the Chinese market in 2012.
Although Honda Alexand entered the Chinese market a little later, when Alexand was listed, the Odyssey was still on sale as a modification of the previous generation. Since then, Honda Alissen has begun to consolidate the Chinese market by virtue of the many advantages of IKEA.
