This is undoubtedly a controversial topic about how much price you need to buy for a family car! The reason is that some people firmly believe that the most important thing about a family car is practicality rather than show-off, so in their eyes, it is suitable for family use and good value for money; Others, however, insist that they shouldn't be overly aggrieved when buying a family car, as buying a car is also a life event that determines their social status. As a result, you'll find that both consumers choose the Fit as their first choice for family cars, and there are also people who unabashedly call the flagship Camry a family car after buying it. The price difference between these models is so large that many novice car buyers are really confused.

But how exactly do you choose the most suitable model for family use in the dazzling automotive market? I've changed cars four times, and now I know a lot about it. In my opinion, when buying our first family car, we should give preference to the "phoenix tail" sedan rather than the "chicken head" model.

So, what do the "chicken head" and "phoenix tail" mean? For example, among Japanese brands, the common Sylphy model is a typical example. If you buy the highest-spec version of the car, then there is no doubt that you are choosing the "chicken head" of the high-end models - the high-end models are not only fully functional, but also more bold than similar products. On the other hand, the entry-level version of the Teana, another model of the Japanese brand, although it also belongs to the Nissan camp, is called the "phoenix tail" because of its slightly simple configuration. Despite being a mid-size car, the lack of some advanced settings makes this model still a bit of a gap compared to the Sylphy. However, it is undeniable that whether it is Xuanyi or Tianlai, the two belong to different levels within the same level, just like the difference between the phoenix and the native chicken, small but obvious.

It is worth mentioning that the current 22 models 2The price of the 0 Enjoy Edition is only 14380,000 yuan, in comparison, the price of the 23 super hybrid high-end luxury Ultra version of the Sylphy is as high as 14790,000 yuan. Why is it that it is also a medium-sized car, but the ** of the natural is lower than that of the Sylphy? This is actually the embodiment of the distinction between the "chicken head" and the "phoenix tail" of the vehicle. Although it costs the equivalent of buying a B-segment car, you end up with the same A-segment configurations, many of which are not commonly used. On the other hand, if you are willing to pay a similar fee, you can enjoy the experience of a larger and more high-quality B-segment, while equipped with no fewer features than the Sylphy. Once you buy a Teana, you have completed the upgrade of the model, and people will praise your taste and strength when driving, so you will care more about the level of the vehicle than the specific configuration. Driving a Sylphy, on the other hand, it's easy to think of it as just a regular Sylphy, and you might even be puzzled by how much you've spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on an A-Class car, at which point you'll need to explain for yourself. This subtle difference is reflected in real life and can have a huge impact on the driver.

Dear friends! If you're looking for a satisfying family car and happen to be focused on a budget of 100,000 to 150,000 RMB, then the following information is not to be missed!

First of all, in retrospect, my buying journey has been quite rich. At the beginning, I chose a model that only cost more than 80,000 yuan; Immediately after, I upgraded to a new car with more than 90,000 yuan; Subsequently, under the pressure of loan funds, the new car was finally successfully bagged with a total price of 120,000 yuan; Later, I bought a high-quality B-segment sedan through second-hand channels. It must be told that extremely cheap cars often mean that their models are smaller, and the overall appearance of the car inevitably makes people feel a little thin and insufficient, and the interior space is completely unable to meet the needs of our daily family use. Some cars are too simple in terms of configuration, or even lack of rear air conditioning outlet settings, so that in the summer high temperature season the whole family sits in the back of the car, only the driver can enjoy the coolness brought by the air conditioning, which will undoubtedly greatly reduce the comfort of passengers.

For example, a budget of about 100,000 yuan is enough to buy most of the excellent compact fuel vehicles on the market, and according to the current price level of fuel vehicles, the model configuration of about 100,000 yuan is not inferior to other high-end products. However, as I mentioned before, if you choose a compact vehicle with a budget of 80,000 yuan, you will obviously face a budget bottleneck; On the other hand, choosing a small car is clearly contrary to our actual interests, so that we are in a dilemma.

As for the budget to buy a car that costs around 150,000 yuan, you already have a lot of popular joint venture B-segment cars for you to consider, whether you want to use them for family travel or business, these styles of cars will give you an incredible sense of superiority and confidence.

Next, in addition to focusing on the strength of the model itself, we also need to take into account factors such as market recognition and consumer reputation. When buying a family car, you must avoid buying niche models, otherwise you may regret it when you are forced to face quality problems. Buying a car is like choosing a house and investing in a property, and once we see a high-quality community and find that the property is popular and has a good consumer reputation, it is definitely wise for us to make a purchase decision immediately. For example, Sylphy, Lavida, Bora, Corolla, etc., each car is a popular style that has passed the test of time and is favored by the majority of consumers. So, even if you're at a loss and buy a model, it's unlikely that you'll lose a lot of money.

Overall, as you prepare to buy a family car, it's important to keep in mind a wise saying – you'd rather choose a "phoenix tail" than a "chicken head". If you can afford it, it is even recommended that you directly consider buying a B-segment car that is approved by the general public, and do not choose a small car with a cold low specs, because after a few years of use, you will almost certainly be willing to change. Although the average model on the market seems to have a high rate of hitting, in fact, these models tend to have excellent quality and stable word-of-mouth reviews, so they are definitely worth the price and are well worth the moment. The above are my heartfelt words for buying a family car, I hope it can inspire you, I wish you a happy car purchase and enjoy a good driving time!
