Roewe IMAX 8 is on the market. What else do you know about popular MPV models?

Recently, Roewe officially released its new MPV model-Roewe IMAX 8. This domestically produced MPV is quite aggressive. Before it was officially released, the car home’s MPV attention ranking advanced to the top 5, so it also attracted many users who want to buy MPVs with money and wait and see. Which car is suitable to buy? Moreover, because the main positioning of each MPV model is different, some are biased towards home use, and some are more suitable for business travel, which objectively increases the difficulty of selection for some users.

For example, the newly launched Roewe IMAX 8 is a home-based positioning. Different from the calm atmosphere of business vehicles, the IMAX 8's design is more youthful, and the overall feeling is dynamic and luxurious. A large-area black mesh grille design is used to highlight individuality, coupled with through-type headlights and crystal diamond-type LED headlights, a sense of technology and high-level sense emerge spontaneously. The body size of IMAX 8 is 5016/1909/1782mm and the wheelbase is 3000mm. Compared with the 5198/1980/1928mm of SAIC MAXUS G20, which is positioned as a commercial MPV, the wheelbase is 3198mm, which is significantly smaller. In terms of size, Roewe IMAX 8 is also more suitable for family travel.

If you want more space, a more comfortable MPV in the back row or for business travel, I recommend the following: Buick GL8, Trumpchi M8 and SAIC MAXUS G20. These three models also have their own advantages, but in my opinion, the most important thing to choose a large MPV is the second row. When major car companies launch medium and large MPV models, they will also work hard on the second-row riding experience. For example, Buick GL8's "integrated smart cockpit" and Toyota Alfa's "aircraft first class" are all focusing on the second row. Therefore, the second row can be regarded as the soul of medium and large MPV. So how does it feel to ride in the second row of these three cars?

second-row space: G20 and GL8 are spacious, M8 compact

second-row space is an important factor affecting ride comfort, large space allows you to stretch your limbs at will. In terms of the space of the second row, the maximum spacing of the second row of GL8 is 1200mm, the maximum spacing of the second row of M8 is 955mm, and the maximum spacing of the second row of G20 is 1295mm. From the space data of the second row, we can see intuitively that M8 The second-row space is the most compact, while the GL8 and G20 are much more spacious. The GL8 is a recognized large car, and the second-row spacing of the G20 is wider than that of the GL8. In terms of riding comfort, the larger space is of course more comfortable. .

Intelligent interconnection: GL8 and M8 stay in the main/passenger driving position, and G20 is specially built for the rear seat.

In actual use of the car, the second row of business trips are often important customers or VIPs. The ride experience of the second row is for customers. That is extremely important. Business people are busy at work and often have to deal with work during the journey. If they sit in the second row, they can sit in a conference room and participate in meetings remotely. Not only will the work efficiency be greatly improved, the customer's riding experience will also be improved . Therefore, the smart experience of the second row is also a factor that consumers in the new era value when buying medium and large MPVs.

Buick GL8 relies on the new iteration of Buick eConnect 3.0 interconnection technology. The new generation of Buick GL8 Avenir integrates full LCD instrumentation, central control screen, HUD head-up display, streaming media rearview mirror, smartphone, etc. in the front row. The hardware, coupled with technologies such as intelligent voice interaction, dynamic display, and touch-screen control, have created an integrated smart cockpit with multi-screen interconnection and multi-dimensional interaction.

Trumpchi M8 is equipped with two 10.1-inch LCD screen rear entertainment systems on the backrests of the main and co-pilot seats. Rear passengers can adjust the massage and massage of the rear seats according to their own riding habits and needs through touch operation. Ventilation, heating, and atmosphere lights are equipped in the car, which is easy to use and has a very comfortable riding experience.

G20 is equipped with a large 12.8-inch ceiling screen behind the sunroof. Not only the second row users can watch it, but also the third row users can see clearly. The 2021 G20 is also equipped with SAIC MAXUS’s world’s first independent intelligent network for the rear row. Connected system-"Spider Smart Connect-Net in Net", which can be controlled by the rear car and mobileMore than 20 modules, including lighting, have more functions than M8, and can also support voice control. The operation is also very convenient, which can bring a more intelligent interactive experience.

It is worth mentioning that the G20's network system also integrates four one-key modes, including four scenarios of "nap", "comfort", "warm" and "cool". Users can switch the car according to their needs. The internal environment can be quickly adjusted to the corresponding scene with one key. In addition, the rear car can be connected to a mobile phone to synchronize the meeting schedule, and the large screen will automatically pop up to remind the meeting time. Sitting in the second row is like in a company meeting room, which is very convenient for handling official business.

Of course, many users will use medium and large MPVs for family travel. When traveling at home, if there is audio-visual entertainment in the back row, it can help family members to eliminate boredom, especially for families with children, it can reduce crying and make Bao parents more worry-free. Among these three cars, the integrated smart cockpit of Buick GL8 considers the main and co-pilot more than the second row of audio-visual entertainment. The M8's second-row car can listen to music and watch movies, but it needs to be controlled by the front driver, which is relatively inconvenient to use. SAIC Maxus MAXUS G20 is equipped with Volcano car entertainment APP, which integrates Douyin, Toutiao, and watermelon video. You can also use Douyin and watch videos in the car. Even if you travel long distances, you won't be bored.

In general, the fierce competition of medium and large MPVs has a long history. The release of the Roewe IMAX8 undoubtedly adds a bit of gunpowder, making the competition intensified. For consumers who want to travel at home and like MPV styles, young and fashionable consumers, Roewe IMAX8 can be taken into consideration. If it is a consumer who is more concerned about major space and wants a better second-row experience, the editor believes that SAIC MAXUS G20 is a good choice.
