Do you know how to choose a "baby car" for new dads, second-child families and stay-at-home moms?

In the "MPV era", as a "little helper" for everyone's family to buy a car, netizens always send us private messages asking what kind of car is more suitable to buy after adding an imported child to their family. However, every family situation is different, and the suitable models are also different. For example, some are young couples who have just given birth to a child, some are families with two children, and some are full-time mothers with children.

Every family has its own difficulties. This is true for family matters, and so is buying a car. After all, buying a car can be considered a major event for a family. Therefore, in the MPV era, every parent can choose a "baby car" that suits them based on the above family situations.

New Dad - Skoda Octavia station wagon

When a new dad buys a car, it must be the first car in the family or a replacement for a new car, so he is concerned about space and ride comfort. Given certain needs, a station wagon can meet all the requirements of dads. However, station wagons are generally imported models with relatively high prices. After dads have children, their "purses" must be very tight, so a cost-effective station wagon is particularly suitable for such families, such as the Skoda Octavia station wagon. !

The station wagon has always been an extremely special existence. It is built based on a sedan, but it has super expandability that a sedan cannot achieve, so that it has a huge loading space. Although the practical station wagon is loved by a large number of car fans, it has always existed as a niche model.

In terms of appearance, the appearance of the domestically produced Skoda Octavia Travel Edition is based on the overseas version SCOUT, with localized improvements, such as an extra black anti-scratch strip compared to the overseas version, and a 10mm increase in ground clearance. The front face is similar to the new Octavia sedan, with a certain sporty style. The split headlight design is more fashionable and in line with the current aesthetic.

The design of the rear part of the car is very full, and the wide rear tailgate design ensures sufficient opening, making it convenient to open the tailgate and load items into the trunk. The maximum depth of the trunk is 1960mm, which can be accommodated without folding down the second-row seats. Folding down the second-row seats will further expand the trunk space. The only drawback is that the second-row seats cannot be fully folded down, which is a fly in the ointment.

Two-child families - Buick GL6

If two-child families are considering a joint venture MPV within 150,000 yuan, they can take a look at the Buick GL6. The 6-seater version of the GL6? 2/2/2 layout is considered by the MPV era to be able to satisfy most second-child family users, and at the same time, it also eliminates the trouble of inspecting every two years for the first 6 years of a 7-seater car. The design of GL6 is easier for consumers to accept than its big brother GL8. It has less business atmosphere and more of a warm feeling of a family car.

With the 6-seater layout of GL6, the aisle between the two second-row seats is relatively wide. Passengers in the third row can pass directly through the aisle when getting in and out of the car without having to fold the second-row seats. Very convenient. However, if the 2/2/2 seat layout seats exactly 5 people, the third row must be enabled, which will take up some trunk space. The GL6's seating space is relatively generous, and adults with a height of 180cm can fit in all three rows without being crowded.

GL6’s strengths in dynamic performance are power and sound insulation and quietness. Although the 1.3T turbocharged engine has a small displacement, it accelerates very powerfully, including reaching speeds of 80-100 in the middle and rear sections. , you can still feel good acceleration when you step on the accelerator deeply. But correspondingly, fuel consumption is not the strong point of GL6. In urban areas with more congested road conditions, fuel consumption can reach more than 10L per 100 kilometers. The suspension performance is quite satisfactory. The good toughness allows the vehicle to control the body posture in place when passing through undulating roads, without a sense of jumping. When facing larger bumps or bumps, the vibration filtering is a bit stiff, and the sound insulation and quietness are very good. Good, especially with regard to wind noise, the cabin can still be kept quiet at high speeds.

Full-time mother - Volkswagen Golf

Being able to become a full-time mother is mostly because the husband’s financial income can bear the family’s living expenses, and the husband must also have a car of his own . At this time, it is perfect for a stay-at-home mother to choose an exquisite car to take care of her baby. In the MPV era, a golf that is compact and convenient and does not require a large space is very suitable for this type of people.

As a classic Volkswagen model, the Golf has a strong Volkswagen brand. The design continues Volkswagen’s traditional concepts, but it also retains some elements of the Golf itself. There is a horizontal line on the front air intake grille. Chrome-plated trim strips connect the headlight groups on both sides, making the headlights look bright and bright. LED daytime running lights are integrated into them, and the light strip at the top is also extended outward, bringing a good sense of technology. Coupled with the huge Volkswagen logo, the overall shape is simple and elegant, full of heroic spirit. The front of the car is flatter and lower than before, paired with complex lines, creating a full sense of sportiness. The addition of the R-LINE version and GTI version gives it a more dynamic and radical appearance.

The interior also continues Volkswagen's consistent operation, using a large number of soft materials. The center console and door panels are all made of soft materials. Silver trim is also added to the door panels on both sides and the passenger area. The strips are embellished to further enhance the sense of class of the entire car.

The rear seat cushions and backrests of the new Golf adopt a concave design, which has strong wrapping properties and makes the ride more comfortable. The rear seats are equipped with air-conditioning outlets and 2 USB ports, which are standard equipment for the entire series. The chair also supports 46-degree tilting, which can further expand the trunk volume.
