Hello~ Hello everyone, the May Day holiday has just passed, let's chat today Let’s talk about travel-related things. This May Day holiday is quite special. Many friends are staying at home and enjoying their eyes by scrolling through the beautiful photos of major travel bloggers. Being a travel blogger is a freelance profession. It seems like the threshold is low, but in reality it is not easy.

Look at our travel KOL in the Ming Dynasty - Xu Xiake. From the age of 22 until his death at the age of 56, he traveled around the world almost all over the world, traveling and inspecting various places. His footprints covered 16 provinces and autonomous regions, leaving behind He collected more than 600,000 words of travel notes, which were compiled into "Xu Xiake's Travel Notes" by others. The reason why our "China Tourism Day" is held on May 19 every year is based on the opening day of "Xu Xiake's Travels".

It’s a pity that Xu Xiake didn’t have such a convenient means of transportation as a car in that era, otherwise his mother would definitely have “angel invested” in a big “earth pot” for him ( wagon)" station wagon. If Xu Xiake traveled back to the present day, apart from photography equipment and outdoor equipment, which station wagon would you recommend to him?

If it were me, I would definitely recommend imported cars from these luxury brands worth 300,000 to 500,000 yuan:

Medium size: Mercedes-Benz C-Class Touring Sedan, Audi A4 Avant , Volvo V60

Medium and large sizes: Audi A6 Avant, Jaguar XF Sportbrake

Mercedes-Benz C-Class Touring Sedan

Price: 360,800-445,800 yuan< /p>

The price of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class Touring Sedan will be relatively expensive, but the brand is highly regarded, and the appearance is elegant and the interior is luxurious. It does have the capital to command this price.

The C 200 and C 260 models of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class Touring Sedan are equipped with 1.5T and 1.5T+48V high-performance light hybrid power respectively. The C 200 model is rear-wheel drive, and the C 260 4MATIC model provides full-time driving. Four wheel drive. The three rear seat backrests can be folded down individually to expand space.

Volvo V60

Price: 339,900-439,900 yuan

The price of Volvo V60 is relatively affordable, and 4S stores also have certain discounts. The power performance, richness of configurations, and especially the safety configuration are the highest among these cars. The appearance is available in Inscription luxury and R-design sports. Unfortunately, there are few body color choices, and there is no four-wheel drive version.

In fact, the Volvo brand has maintained a station wagon tradition for nearly 70 years since 1953. Now, you can find corresponding station wagons in Volvo's 40, 60, and 90 series.

Audi A4 Avant & Audi A4 allroad quattro

Price: 341,800-427,800 yuan

Audi A4 Avant, this car is relatively average in all aspects , I usually like to call Audi's ordinary cars "German Toyota", because there are really no shortcomings and nothing outstanding.

▲ Audi A4 Avant

In addition to the Avant series, the Audi A4 station wagon also has the allroad quattro series. From the name, we know that the latter provides a timely four-wheel drive system, and The appearance is also more wild.

Audi A6 Avant & Audi A6 allroad quattro

Price: 449,800-560,800 yuan

In addition to the Avant version, the Audi A6 station wagon also has an allroad quattro version. The latter has a more wild appearance, and it is also the only one among the station wagons I recommend that is equipped with a 3.0T V6 engine, which has more power.

Jaguar XF Sportbrake

Price: 455,800-582,800 yuan

The Jaguar XF Sportbrake is considered a niche car, and the British style of the brand is there, but unfortunately, its body color is not as green as a British brand.

These station wagons are regarded as treasures by Europeans, but they are not yet accepted by most people in China. After all, there are still too few people with money, leisure and financial freedom in China, and the shape of station wagons Style is not suitable for all car use scenarios, just like you can't always wear a set of casual clothes to attend various occasions. Station wagons are still more suitable as the second car of the family in China. This makes station wagons an obsession for many people.

However, as China's auto market enters the stock era, people who purchase additional vehicles and trade-in vehicles will gradually become the main force in sales, and the needs of this group of people coincide with station wagons.

In the future, station wagons with many advantages will definitely be accepted by more and more Chinese people. At the same time, consumers will also have more demands for station wagons. We expect more car manufacturers to launch better station wagons.
