If the 95 comes out with a five-seat version and updates its interior, sales would definitely increase. The seven-seater really can't compete with other manufacturers.

If the later designs of the SAIC Maxus T60 and T70 resemble the interior layout of the Ford Ranger, sales would definitely go up. After all, pickup trucks are considered commercial vehicles, not regular cars, and they require annual inspections. In many areas, there are restrictions on trucks, which is quite frustrating, and not many people are willing to buy them. I don't even dare to drive my own T60; each time I drive, I risk losing 3 points. Sigh...
The design of the Hongqi E-HS9 is nice. If there were an extended-range version, its sales might increase. Other issues will likely receive feedback from car enthusiasts after they've driven it for six months.
With a budget of 140,000, I'm considering buying a used 7-seater MPV. I'm currently looking at the 2018 imported Volkswagen Sharan and the 2015 Honda Elysion Luxury Edition. I drive about 10,000 kilometers a year. Which one should I choose? The Sharan is newer, has good safety features, and strong power, but maintenance and repairs are expensive, and it requires 95-octane fuel. The Elysion is older, but can run on 92-octane fuel, has lower maintenance costs, is more common, and retains its value well.
4I took a test drive and really liked it, but there are two things I'm struggling with: 1. I'm 182cm tall and it feels a bit cramped. 2. There's limited interior storage, which feels inconvenient. Is there any solution, like something from the store that can increase storage space? Also, is there any chance of a model update next year?
5I heard from the sales that the Levante is going to be discontinued. It won't be produced or updated in 2024. Will the used cars of this model increase or decrease in value? Can any knowledgeable folks provide some insight?

7If the Grand Highlander is introduced and launched in the domestic market, its sales will definitely be among the top.
8Honestly, the Lexus LX570 after its mid-cycle update has become more eye-catching than ever. The exterior design is bold, with a mix of luxury and modern flair that attracts younger buyers — and even older ones might find it impressive. But once you step inside, especially after hearing it's a full-size SUV, you're surprised to find the interior space isn't as generous as expected. I'm 180 cm tall and weigh 70 kg, and after adjusting the driver's seat to a comfortable position, there was only about 8 cm of legroom in the back — which feels tight for a car at this price point. That said, the interior materials are undeniably premium — the leather is soft and luxurious, and the entertainment and comfort features help make up for the space issue. Performance-wise, the 5.7L V8 engine offers plenty of power, but the throttle response is smooth and gradual. The car feels heavy, and the hydraulic steering gives almost no road feedback, with a noticeable delay between input and response. It honestly feels like you're driving on a mattress — completely isolated from the road, which doesn’t inspire much confidence if you're driving aggressively on pavement. However, if you think of it as an off-road vehicle, the story changes. The light steering actually helps absorb kickback when driving over rough terrain, and the adjustable air suspension gives you flexibility depending on the terrain. Add to that full-time four-wheel drive and multiple off-road assist modes, and the LX570 is a real beast off the beaten path. It’s a luxurious SUV clearly built for adventure, rather than sharp on-road performance.
9I bought the 2025 Passat 380 Star Edition, and since we already have a 2024 330 Elite model at home, I was able to directly compare the two. The main differences come down to a few added features — like extra millimeter-wave radars, one additional camera, and three more ultrasonic sensors. Most of the other specs are nearly identical. The biggest improvement I noticed is in the adaptive cruise control, which is now more responsive and accurate. The rear parking sensors also trigger more easily. Fuel consumption is actually quite good: on highways and elevated roads, it averages around 7.1 L/100 km — nearly the same as the 330 (which ranges between 6.8 to 7.2 L). As for space, it's one of the main reasons I chose this car. We’ve got kids in the family, and this car is mainly for weekend outings and family use. Compared to the Magotan, the Passat offers better ride comfort, and its 2.87m wheelbase ensures a roomy interior. Feature-wise, the Passat covers everything needed for daily use: side mirrors that tilt automatically when reversing, ventilated and heated seats, auto hold, adaptive cruise, and active braking. It’s all there and makes daily driving much more convenient. Now for the downsides: the infotainment system feels outdated. The screen is too small, there's no built-in navigation worth using, and no wireless phone connectivity, which is a letdown in 2025. Also, there’s still a bit of jerkiness at low speeds that hasn’t been addressed. The gear shifter is still wrapped in leather but looks pretty basic. Overall, at this price point, the Passat is still a solid choice. It doesn’t have any major flaws, and it’s a good all-around car — perfect for someone who wants a reliable, practical ride without too much fuss or flash. Not the flashiest design, but definitely a sensible and balanced option.
10I’ve had my Nissan Sunny for nearly 7 years now, and from personal experience, I can tell you it’s one of the best cars for someone who’s just learned to drive or wants a simple, reliable vehicle. It’s incredibly easy to drive—compact in size but not cramped inside. You can slip it into any tight spot without overthinking, and the interior space is actually comfortable, especially in the back. It’s clearly designed with families in mind. Its exterior design isn’t flashy, and a lot of people criticize how it looks—but I see that as part of the car’s philosophy. It’s meant to be a practical car, not something for show. If you want a car that turns heads, you can look elsewhere. Personally, I wanted something that would last and make life easier—not something to brag about. Over these seven years, aside from regular maintenance, I haven’t had any major issues. Just a few small things that came up with time—like the driver’s side window switch no longer working automatically, so now I just roll it up manually. Also, in 2020, the original battery finally gave out, which was expected—and honestly, it lasted longer than I thought it would. Some people say it’s not safe enough, but honestly, I had a minor accident once—got hit by another car—and the Sunny didn’t suffer serious damage, and no one got hurt. That’s what matters most. Sure, it doesn’t come with loads of safety features, but for its price, you can’t expect top-tier specs. I’m not someone who drives fast—I’ve never gone over 120 km/h—so the car has always been stable for me, with no issues. The cabin gets a bit noisy at higher speeds, but that’s normal for this class and hasn’t impacted my overall experience. The engine isn’t powerful, but it gets the job done and gets me where I need to go without stress.
