The choice is not easy when it comes to choosing a family car, even if Vans used to be the right model. Today, city cars are also part of the dance and offer a great deal for the household. How to weigh their two qualities and defects to make your choice.
The family car par excellence: the Van
Vans are types of cars, which have a fairly large interior that can accommodate 4 or even 7 passengers. It is not a brand per se, but a model of car, a model that is meant to accommodate the father the mother and their offspring. This space is also de rigueur for the trunk, which can hold groceries and even several useful items for the home. Indeed, space is the first asset of the MPV, as opposed to what its name indicates. Secondly, it is not a sports car and as such, it reassures parents who think above all of their child's safety. Finally, it has the malleability to allow a child seat in the back or to shape the car to carry an invalid. With all these criteria going for families, MPVs remain a favourite.
City cars: the market explosion
A city car as its name suggests is reserved for urban use as such, it is suitable for roads to motorways, etc. Its appearance is not imposing, but it has a remarkable adaptability. Moreover, it does not have a powerful engine, which means that it has to be driven at a reasonable speed, suitable for family use. In addition, it is the cheapest car in Europe, especially for a car that often has an electric motor. This advantage, which is very favourable to eco-mothers, as well as a body that is more attractive than the MPVs, makes it possible to use it in a flashy way. The city car combines the functions of a saloon with those of an SUV, which makes it suitable for family use, but without appearing to be too much of a housewife.
