In the past two years, with the opening of the two-child and three-child policy, and the 7-seater model has also joined the 6-year exemption from annual inspection, consumers have paid more and more attention to the 7-seat model, many friends will begin to consider whether to buy a 7-seat model when buying a car or changing the car, at this time many people will face a choice, 7-seat model home is to choose MPV or SUV, today Tutu will analyze this problem in detail with you.

First of all, Tutu personally believes that before considering this problem, you need to determine whether you really have a rigid need for a 7-seater model, because there are many friends, and there are actually less than 7 people at home, and they also want to buy a 7-seater, and take precautions, although they are afraid of using it once in a while. Of course, this kind of thinking is not impossible, but this kind of pseudo rigid demand, and the real rigid demand, that is, there are more people in the family, the old and the young, the second and third children, etc., add up to more than six or seven people, and an ordinary five-seater car is not enough.

The reason why I say this first is because the models recommended by the two users, pseudo rigid needs and rigid needs, are different, and the real rigid needs are recommended to choose 7-seat MPVs, because the practicality is stronger and the comfort can be better. The reason why everyone buys a 7-seater model, to put it bluntly, is not to drive comfortably, if it is really for themselves to drive cool, who will consider the 7-seater model, so the consumers who buy the 7-seater model are basically friends who pay more attention to the family, so that the family can sit comfortably This is the primary task. In this regard, the advantage of a 7-seater MPV is completely superior to that of a 7-seater SUV.

From the whole appearance, the chassis of MPV and sedan is the same, they are relatively low, which means that the height of the platform is relatively low, and the family buys a 7-seater model to take care of the family, generally the elderly and children, the legs and feet of the elderly are not very convenient, and the children are not very flexible if they are younger, and the MPV platform is relatively low, which is more friendly to the elderly and children on the car. In addition, the MPV is also a side sliding door, even if you are sitting in the main driver, you can open the door without worrying about bumps.

And the overall layout of the 7-seat MPV is also more reasonable, 2+2+3 layout, and most of the 7-seat SUVs, it can even be said that basically all 7-seat SUVs are 2+3+2 layout, there is no aisle in the middle of the second row, it is more difficult to enter the third row, you need to move the middle seat to the front or turn it over to enter the third row, for some elderly people with inconvenient legs, the degree of freedom to get on and off the car is not so high.

In addition, from the perspective of the space performance of the two, MPV is also dominant, even if the third row is for three people, but the space is not too cramped. And SUV is different, now the vast majority of 7-seat SUV on the market, are upgraded on the 5-seat version, the size of the body and wheelbase have not changed much, in this case, to put it bluntly, the space of the third row is to encroach on the space that originally belonged to the trunk and the second row, this space is just above the rear wheel of the SUV, plus the chassis of the SUV itself is relatively high, the tires are large and wide, which leads to the noise and road noise above the tires, followed by the bumpy feeling will be stronger and the space will be squeezed by the suspension tires below, even if the third row sits two people, the space performance will not be too ideal, basically the feeling of sitting on a small bench.

This is why it is recommended that friends with rigid needs choose MPV, but this does not mean that you can't buy a 7-seat SUV, if it is not just needed, and most of them usually drive by themselves, even if they sit less than 6 people, they can directly fold the third row, just use it as a large 5-seat SUV, the same is completely possible, and the third row is a 7-seat model when it is pulled up in an emergency, even if it is used once a year, it will not be used when it is not.

Therefore, whether it is a 7-seat MPV or a 7-seat SUV, you can use it and buy it, and the SUV also has the advantage of strong passability. I don't know which of the two do you think is more suitable for home use for you in front of the screen?Feel free to leave a message and let us know what you think.
