The "two-child policy" was introduced, and the 7-seater model became The “hot topics” in the automotive field used to seem to be right around the corner. In the blink of an eye, the "three-child" policy was implemented and caused a huge stir. Compared with the serious thinking in the "second-child era", hot searches about three-child models were quickly occupied by ridicule. The 9-seat Coaster (official name: Coaster) inexplicably became the must-select model for "three-child" people.

Upgraded from a family of three or four to a family of five or more Population families, this is not just a simple increase in population figures, it is also accompanied by changes in the consumption structure of housing, hotels, tourism and other industries, which of course also affects the automobile market. A couple, three children, an elderly person, and even a nanny. If a large family of three children wants to go out neatly, an ordinary five-seater car is really stretched. Even for a family with two children, a car with more space and more seats is an urgent need. This means that even if the "three-child policy" is not as good as imagined, "big cars" will usher in a beautiful spring.

But are large SUVs more recognized by the market, or are large MPVs more suitable for large family use scenarios?

An MPV that focuses on spacious space and comfort. The shape meets the standards of a distinguished commercial car, the configuration and performance are enough for home use, and the considerable accommodation space is worthy of recognition. The underrated MPV is the first choice for pragmatic families.

It is a mid-to-large SUV with stronger power performance and passability. Although it has to sacrifice some ride comfort and the 2 3 2 seat layout will cause some trouble in getting in and out of the third row, the atmospheric body design and The surging performance makes it irresistible for fashionable dads.

If you have plans for three children or need a car with a large space, these cars can make you decide which one to choose first.

SAIC-GM Buick GL8

Guide price: 232,900-529,900

GL8 is a model that many car companies will compare when they launch MPV models. It has a great status in the world. It can be seen. Data shows that GL8 sold 12,505 units in April 2021, with cumulative sales of 56,268 units from January to April, firmly ranking first in the sales of joint venture MPVs.

The 2021 GL8 offers three series: land-based business class (7 seats), ES Continental (7 seats) and Avenir family (4/6 seats). The body length, width and height are 5238×1878×1776mm, the wheelbase is 3088mm, the 7-seater seat layout is 2 2 3, and the second row seats are equipped with independent leg rests.

The seats in the welfare version can be electrically rotated out of the car and lowered, and can be electrically retracted into the car after passengers are seated. It is also equipped with a position adjustment memory function, making it easier for the elderly, children and other people with difficulty in traveling to get in and out of the car. . However, the side sliding door only supports electric opening on the right side, and the second row of seats in land-based business class does not support electric adjustment and ventilation/massage functions. If you want more advanced configurations, you can only consider the higher-priced ES Luzun Edition.

In addition, adaptive cruise system, automatic parking, car system voice control and other functions are available on GL8. There are naturally reasons why it has dominated the domestic market for more than 20 years. It is suitable for IKEA, has balanced performance in all aspects, and has the blessing of a joint venture background. GL8 is such an MPV.

GAC Trumpchi M8

Guide price: 179,800-264,800

If the price of Buick GL8 makes you look up, then the emergence of Trumpchi M8 may give The reason for your decision.

Trumpchi M8 is available in two versions: Leader Series (RMB 179,800-264,800) and Master Series (RMB 239,800-252,800). It offers two front face shapes. It is recommended to choose the Master Series if possible. "El The name of "Fapingti" is well-deserved.

The second-row seat armrest of the entry-level Trumpchi M8 is an integrated fixed design, and functional buttons such as leg support/lumbar support adjustment, seat ventilation/heating/massage, etc. are hidden under the armrest. The small design may seem inconspicuous, but once used, it smells really good.

In addition, high-end models support practical functions such as wireless mobile phone charging and lumbar and leg support adjustment. Functions such as lane assist, lane departure warning, automatic parking, and lane keeping are only equipped on top-end models.

SAIC Volkswagen Touron

Guided price: 292,000-459,900

The Touron adopts a standard Volkswagen face shape, the body is square, wide and regular, and may have a through-type The taillights are the most eye-catching element.

The body length, width and height are 5039/1989/1773mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2980mm. The space performance is not much different from that of MPVs in the same price range, and the configuration maintains the standards expected of this level. The HUD head-up digital display of the top model is a rare luxury apart from pragmatism.

The power part is equipped with a high/low power 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. The former has a maximum power of 162 kW and a peak torque of 350 N·m; the latter has a maximum power of 137 kW and a peak torque of 320 N·m. , matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox.

Changan CS95

Guide price: 165,900-213,900

The design style of Changan CS95 is obviously different from that of Tuang, with suspended roof, through-taillights, and dense spokes The wheels are all highlighting the sporty feel. The body size is slightly inferior to the Touron, but looking at the price, I can tolerate it.

The configuration is basically sufficient, including safety configurations such as 360-degree panoramic imaging, remote start, LDW lane departure warning, four-camera driving recorder, and L2 driver assistance system. It is powered by a 2.0T turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 233 horsepower and a peak torque of 360 N·m. The transmission is matched with an Aisin 6-speed automatic manual transmission. Four-wheel drive models are available as an option. It is far from outstanding and can be used at home.

Even if the three-child policy provides more opportunities for childbirth, the cost of childbirth is enough to keep people awake. Judging from the current situation, one- and two-child families are still the majority. Ordinary family cars are enough to take on the responsibility of travel carriers. However, if you want to have more comfort and freedom beyond rationality, a large space is definitely better. .

Finally, if the above models still cannot meet the demand, you can wait for Wuling's new nine-seater car on the road, or you can get it right in one step, directly change your driver's license, and seriously consider Coaster.

Written at the end:

After the three-child policy is opened, it will indeed reduce the trouble for those who want to have three children. But after all, not many families are willing to have three children, not to mention that the cost of childcare and the cost of giving birth to a woman are too high. Encouraging childbirth is a comprehensive project that requires reforms in education and housing policies. Cars may only have a slight impact. No matter whether they are large or small, private cars or buses, they can all accommodate everyone's happy life.
