——If you often drive on the highway, there are two aspects to recommending MPV models. The first is stability, and the second is saving. Consumers who demand this There are also models with certain demands, right? For business needs, stability is definitely the main concern, while family and individual users still have savings as the main demand. Of course, comfort is the premise for both categories. I The first and second on this list are needs in both directions besides comfort.
——The first pursuit of stability requires not only a stable feeling when driving at high speeds, but also a sense of stability in business needs. In this regard, Buick GL8 is well-deserved. Whether it is a small or medium-sized company or the owner of a listed company, the Buick GL8 is the first choice for business MPV. For example, my own group has several listed companies. Due to the complex nature of the group, the Municipal State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission owns the shares. Therefore, it is difficult for the chairman to use models such as Toyota Alfa. Therefore, the group owns Several new and old Buick GL8s are available for business travel. As for the new GL8 with a relatively good license plate number, the chairman often travels in this car. It can be seen that the Buick GL8 plays a leading role among business cars and is irreplaceable by other brands of models.
——The second is to save money. For some small and medium-sized enterprises, or families and individual users, when choosing MPV models for long-distance travel, they have more control over costs. The strictness is not only reflected in the higher starting price of the Buick GL8, but also the fuel consumption, maintenance, and worry-free costs of the Buick GL8. In addition, the configuration of the low-end Buick GL8 models includes air seats. Neither the car nor the chair can meet the needs of consumers who are more price-sensitive, so the Honda Allison is a better choice, although there is also the Odyssey MPV in the same category. But judging from the current situation of Odyssey, its current positioning is more focused on home users. Compared with the Odyssey, the Honda Alison has a larger body size, so it has certain advantages in terms of space. This advantage of the Toyota Alison makes it more suitable for home and business use compared with the Odyssey. For the MPV needs of some small and medium-sized enterprises, Honda Allison can not only meet the needs of home users, but also business use. This is a more comprehensive choice.
I'm happy to answer your questions. I am Chehai V Wuya, and I communicate, share, and learn knowledge about cars with everyone every day.
If you often run on the highway, to be honest, MPV models are indeed a very good choice. Compared with cars and SUV models, MPV models have the advantages of large size, large space, and comfortable riding. The seat layout is generally 2 With the +2+3 design, the seating space in both the front and rear rows can be said to be extremely comfortable for those who are used to driving cars or SUVs. To exaggerate, you can completely relax and sit in it. At the same time, due to its large size, it brings a longer wheelbase and wider wheelbase. The MPV model has better stability and safety when driving on the high speed; secondly, the MPV is also more practical, and can It can be used for business reception, it can also be used as a family car, and it can even be used to pull goods without any problem. It can be said that MPV models will definitely be more and more recognized and loved by consumers.
Of course, there are many MPV models currently on the market, and there are many MPV models at different price points. As for which one is more suitable, I think you should make your choice based on your actual budget. Here I will make recommendations on MPV models in different price ranges for your reference. MPV models priced around RMB 100,000.
MPV models in this price range are basically domestically produced self-branded models. Among them, the two models I recommend more are Geely’s Jiaji and BYD Song MAX. . Jiaji is the latest MPV model launched by Geely. The price ranges from 100,000 to 150,000, and the displacement is 1.5T and 1.8T. The power is not good, but it is enough for use; the exterior design is smooth, fashionable and beautiful, and the interior also looks... It is very exquisite, has a good sense of technology, and is well configured, with all basic configurations complete.
BYD Song MAX can be said to be the same as Jiaji. As a domestic brand MPV, it focuses on appearance, interior, configuration and other cost-effectiveness. You can buy one with good cost-effectiveness and good vehicle quality for around 100,000. MPV models, I think these two models are good choices for consumers with limited budgets. MPV models in the 200,000-400,000 range.
MPV models in the 200,000-400,000 range are basically joint venture brand models. The two models I recommend most here are Buick GL8 and Honda Odyssey. Buick GL8 can be said to be invincible among mid-to-high-end MPV models, occupying the top spot in the field of mid-to-high-end MPV models for many years. It is the most popular MPV model for business receptions, large-scale events and meetings, etc. It has a stable and stylish appearance, exquisite and luxurious interior, comfortable ride, and stable chassis. It can be said to be an IKEA model.
Compared to the GL8, it can be said that the Honda Odyssey is in a better position than the GL8. The product itself is also very good, but it always feels a little less breathtaking than the GL8. After competing in the car market for many years, it can be said that we cherish each other and heroes cherish heroes. Generally speaking, when choosing MPV models in this price range, the GL8 and Odyssey are definitely the first models to consider. MPV models worth over RMB 500,000.
Consumers who choose this price range are basically either rich or expensive. Money is no longer an issue. There are also many luxury and high-end MPVs to choose from. It mainly depends on personal preference. of. Among them, I think there are two very popular MPV models, one is Toyota Alphard and the Mercedes-Benz V-Class. Needless to say, Alfa is luxurious, exquisite, warm and comfortable. It is the most popular MPV model in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. It is known as the star nanny car. It has high visibility. It is difficult to find one in China even if the price is increased.
The Mercedes-Benz V-Class is very common in the domestic high-end MPV model market. With the strong brand appeal and influence of Mercedes-Benz, buying an MPV model like the Mercedes-Benz V-Class is in itself a manifestation of status. General brands are incomparable.
If you compare the high-speed driving stability of an MPV with a car, I can responsibly tell you that an MPV is definitely not as stable as a car. Because the car body is tall, the center of gravity is high, the size is large, and the wind resistance is large. The greater the wind resistance and the higher the center of gravity of the vehicle, the more it will float as it goes faster. If you have never driven an MPV before, you must be mentally prepared for this issue. Because MPV is not a car that pursues stability. Its advantages are its flexible space and the ability to carry people and cargo.
Someone may recommend you buy a Honda Odyssey. Indeed, the Odyssey has a good appearance and cost-effectiveness among models in this price range, but the driving experience and driving texture are very average. It's noisy, the suspension is hard, and it's quite bumpy when encountering uneven roads. In terms of ride comfort, the Odyssey's brother Alison is much better. If you choose between the two, I recommend choosing the Alison.
Taken together, Buick GL8 is a car that is more suitable for IKEA, and the price is not high. Now the classic Fathead Fish version and the new model are on sale at the same time. If you have enough budget and it is mainly for home use, I recommend you buy the new GL8. If the car purchase budget is not sufficient, and in addition to home use, you also need to take into account commercial reception, then choose the cheap and affordable version of the classic Fathead Fish. If you can increase your car purchase budget to more than 400,000, you can also choose Toyota Sienna and Volkswagen Metropolis.
Brother Yan’s point of view: You get what you pay for. The driving comfort and stability of the Toyota Sienna and Volkswagen Metrove are better than those of the GL8 and Alison. If your budget is not very sufficient, you can choose between Buick GL8 and Honda Allison. It is recommended that you go to a 4S store for an in-depth test drive before deciding which one to buy.
Whether it is stable at high speed depends on the chassis. Independent suspension is more stable than non-independent suspension, aluminum alloy swing arm is more stable than stamped steel swing arm, and hydraulic bushing is more stable than ordinary bushing.
In terms of high-speed stability, no household MPV is more stable than the imported Volkswagen Sharan. Sharan’s chassis materials are the best in its RMB 200,000 class, including aluminum alloy lower swing arms and aluminum alloy subcars. Frame, aluminum alloy four-wheel horn (bearing seat), hydraulic bushing. As long as there is no strong crosswind, Sharan's high-speed driving stability is first-rate.
Moreover, all Sharan models come standard with electric adjustment of the main driver’s seat lumbar support. The seats are highly supportive and resistant to long-term driving fatigue. They have a large 75-liter fuel tank. According to personal testing, the speed limit is pressed at all times with the air conditioner turned on when full. In the 10% service area, the car can run 850 kilometers at high speed on one tank of oil without turning off the air conditioner.
I used to drive a Lao Ma Liu, and my body felt very uncomfortable when I ran long distances of about 600 kilometers continuously. Not long after I bought the Sharan, I went on a self-driving trip of 3,000 kilometers round trip. Running more than 800 kilometers a day was like playing. The old man also said that Sharan’s seats are not tiring even if you sit for a long time. Sharan is indeed a very good choice for home MPVs when you often run long distances.
As the automobile market becomes larger and larger, there are more and more types of automobiles, from sedans at the beginning to SUVs, MPVs, crossovers, etc., really There are endless tricks. There was a time when SUVs were the first choice for consumers to buy cars, but as time goes by, MPV models are now loved by more people. There is a saying that MPVs can haul cargo by removing the seats and installing the seats. Can attract people. So, what are the advantages of MPV on high speed? When driving long distances, the most important thing is not comfort.
In fact, the biggest reason why MPV models are so popular is that they can travel long distances. Everyone knows that the advantages of SUVs are their relatively large interior space and their domineering appearance. However, the sales of MPV models are getting better and better now. The main reason is that the internal space is larger than that of SUVs. Although there are seven-seat SUVs, there is still a certain gap with MPVs in terms of space.
The layout of seven-seater SUVs is generally 2X3X2, but the layout of MPVs is 2X2X3. From this point of view, there is a significant difference in the last row of seats. The last row of SUVs is affected by There is a lot of compression, and the passenger's riding experience is also very bad. The MPV has one more rear seat, so its space is slightly larger.
Nowadays, whether it is a joint venture or an independent MPV, there are many models to choose from. The benchmark representatives include Buick GL8, Honda Odyssey, Ericsson, IKEA and IKEA. Toyota Previa. There is also the Trumpchi gm8, which came from behind.
I recommend the Buick GL8 as a car that is more suitable for shopping and IKEA, and the price is not high. Now the classic Fathead version and the new model are on sale at the same time. If you have enough budget and it is mainly for home use, I recommend you buy the new GL8. If you don’t have a sufficient budget for buying a car, and you also need to consider commercial use in addition to home use, then choose the cheap and affordable version of the classic Fathead Fish. If you can increase your car purchase budget to more than 400,000, you can also choose Toyota Sienna and Volkswagen Metropolis.
So if it is extremely cost-effective, of course it is the gm8.
I have driven and ridden in several MPVs in the past few years. Let’s not mention whether they are stable or not. Let’s talk about comfort first. The most comfortable one to ride is undoubtedly the Previa, followed by the GL8, and finally the Odyssey. When driving, the Odyssey has very hard shock absorption and good handling. The GL8 is more average. Please note that the tire pressure is 2.3 according to the manufacturer's nominal pressure, not 2.5, otherwise the shock absorption will clank on bad roads. The Previa has softer shock absorption and is more comfortable. That's enough, the car will roll seriously if the speed is slightly faster on the highway on and off ramps. The fuel consumption is 2.4 as an example. The 2010 Previa burns 95 fuel and has a combined fuel consumption of 15 liters. The 2014 GL8 burns 92 fuel and has a combined fuel consumption of 11 liters. The 2007 Odyssey burns 92 fuel and has a combined fuel consumption of 12 liters. The 2015 model The electric door Odyssey has a combined non-highway fuel consumption of 9 liters and a high-speed fuel consumption of 10-12 liters. In terms of space, the GL8 is the largest, followed by the Previa and the Odyssey is the smallest.
Personally, I think the Previa is more comfortable for high-speed business cars, followed by the GL8, and finally the Odyssey. For family cars, the GL8, Odyssey, and Previa, if you don’t need the money, go for the Alfa
< p> As a GL8 owner, I can tell you responsibly that in terms of space and comfort, GL8 is really alone at this level! The largest suitcase you can see at the airport (visually as high as an adult’s waist), I personally tested that the trunk can hold exactly 5! That’s right! 5! Put them four vertically and one horizontally! 5! I set out from Xi'an to Shanxi. The total journey was 900 kilometers. I drove through Sagitar, RAV4, and GL8. Apart from eating and going to the toilet, I drove all the way in one day without stopping. The first two cars drove the entire distance, and I got off the car and slept. When I woke up the next day, I still felt like I was shaking in the car! GL8 drove the entire distance, and even went out to drink and sing with friends at night. The condition was completely normal! As for the GL8's fuel consumption, my average fuel consumption has always been 8.5-10.6! Who gets to drive the car? The branch will not be held either! Either you know how to step on the accelerator or the brake, or you know how to drive! Besides, this car weighs 1.8 tons! There are several 1.8-ton vehicles that are fuel-efficient. Can you pull them out and let me take a look? The car has been used for just over two years and 49,000 kilometers since I got it. The oil meter shows that no claim has been made once, and the central locking claim has been made once. Everything else is maintained normally. I use SN level 5W-30 fully synthetic engine oil, and every time I have a small warranty. 360! The warranty is guaranteed for 10,000 kilometers, and the stainless steel heater tee will be replaced by yourself (this is a common problem with cars, the original one will break down at most 60,000 kilometers). Of course, this car also has shortcomings. The wheelbase is too long, making U-turns very inconvenient, and the gearbox When you have a new car, the gear shifting logic is so weird that it will surprise you. Even if you step on the brakes, you can still feel the gearbox pushing the car forward (it seems that I have taught it well now). Here comes the key point. . . . Headlights! ! ! Headlights! ! ! Headlights! ! ! This is the design that requires you to remove the front bumper to replace the low-beam light bulb, and all the exterior lights of this car tend to break, especially the low-beam light bulbs, which basically break after 15,000-20,000 kilometers, and the tail lights, it’s amazing! ! ! The same goes for the battery. To replace the battery, you have to dismantle half of the engine compartment to take out the battery. . . Can you bear it? There is another disadvantage. The middle glass cannot be raised or lowered. The middle and rear glass can only open a gap toward the rear for ventilation (the new 2.5S can be raised and lowered). In short, this car gives me the feeling of being very comfortable and relaxing, American style. The characteristics are vividly reflected, with various widths and sizes! If you are a pure hedonist, you are absolutely right to choose GL8!We often drive on high speeds, and our vehicles are running at high speed for a long time. Naturally, we have higher requirements for the vehicles, especially the safety and stability of the vehicles, which must be guaranteed.
Judging from the current car market, although MPVs have been popular among independent brands in recent years, they have not gone through many tests in the market like joint venture brands. The most stable MPV is undoubtedly Buick. and Honda are two brands.
Especially the Buick GL8 has always been the benchmark for MPV models. It has gained a good reputation in the market and is considered an old acquaintance of everyone. It can be seen basically every day on the road. . Let’s take a look at what this model looks like?
This is an IKEA model. Of course, it is more business-oriented. The appearance has been modified to be more rounded and fashionable. However, the interior design is not particularly beautiful, but the materials and workmanship are still good. of.
Another thing that is very important when you often travel on the highway is comfort. Not to mention that it can reach the feeling of business class on an airplane, the overall ride is still very comfortable and there is plenty of leg room. There is also plenty of headroom and legroom, and even if the seats are moved forward to take care of the third row, the legroom is still sufficient.
Let’s talk about the trunk space. One advantage of the GL8 is that the opening has a lower ground clearance, which saves effort when carrying heavier cargo. Secondly, when carrying seven people, Under normal conditions, it can basically put down a few suitcases when going deep.
The last thing I want to talk about is power. The GL8 is not said to be powerful. There is a pushing feeling when stepping on the accelerator, but its acceleration is smooth and powerful, even when running at high speeds. Relatively relaxed.

No one has mentioned the Kia Real MPV. I have been driving it for more than two years and there is no problem at all. The brakes are powerful and the space is huge. The third row of seats can be folded. Enter the lower-level trunk, which is flush with the floor. The diesel version only needs about 6 fuel on the highway, and only 8 more when running in the city for a long time. With a full tank of fuel, the fuel gauge will show more than 900. There are many practical configurations, such as full leather perforated seats, lockable folding rearview mirrors, reversing cameras, dual sunroofs, dual electric doors, etc. . . Ten thousand kilometers maintenance. The diesel version can save thousands on gas a year. The high speed is normally maintained at around 110. Driving is very relaxed, and you are not tired when traveling for long distances. The seat wrapping and waist straps can be adjusted, so it is still very comfortable. The key point is that the entire vehicle is fully imported, which is always much better than those produced by joint ventures.
