Tips for choosing a family car

There are several things that you need to pay attention to in choosing a family car. In addition to a spacious cabin, you also need to consider fuel efficiency, especially if the car is often used for traveling with your family. Here are tips on choosing a family car.

1. Cabin and baggage

Since you are using it for you and your family members, it's a good idea to choose a 7-seater car with a spacious cabin and spacious trunk to cart everything you need for long getaways. 

2. Save fuel

One of the largest running costs will likely be fuel. As family cars are primarily used for daily mobilization such as going to the office or other activities, they will burn fuel quicker than extended highway trips. Thus, a fuel efficient car is a wise option for you to save on long-term expenses.

3. Consider security and safety

Make sure that you choose a car with an installed security and safety system. Generally, cars are equipped with safety systems such as seat belts, airbags, and automatic door locks. However, you should choose a family car that is also equipped with Hill Start Assist (HSA), Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA), Side Airbags, as well as Parking Sensors.

4. Entertainment features

To make long trips more comfortable, you certainly need entertainment in the car, especially if you bring children who easily get bored and tired. Currently, family cars are equipped with entertainment features and other comfort supports, such as soundproof cabins, armrests, double blower air conditioners that keep the cabin air cool, soft suspension, and digital car TVs.

5. After sales service

After-sales service is an important factor that consumers should consider before buying a vehicle. One of the characteristics of a manufacturer who has the best after-sales service is the availability of official workshops, affordable spare parts prices, and easy access to spare parts.
