Looks like BMW is the one? This you have to do due diligence. Does not mean more for sales is better haha. If you do not mind obiang design, I would recommend Stepwagon Spada. With slightly more than $80k, can easily get a 2017 model pre-facelift model. A lot of space and typical jap reliability. Its very functional waku waku door has been touted as very tough by a bro who was rear-ended by a van last year or so. But it is not a diesel car. FC wise, most owners getting between 500 to 600km on 50L of petrol. Very good for a petrol car of such proportion. https://www.sgcarmart.com/used_cars/listing.php?MOD=spada&PRC=0&DEP=0&RGD=0&VEH=0&AVL=2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spurman Supercharged June 16, 2020 Share June 16, 2020 13 hours ago, Donald83 said: Actually i love Volvo and my S80 D2 is really good. XC90 is too expensive for me and the used one is a petrol guzzler. BMW 2 series Gran Tourer don't expect much space in the last row. But my kids only 6 years and 3 years old so they can be at the back. But what about the middle row? Personally I find the middle row okay. Last row really really cramped... Haha. My kids and family's action told. They rather squeeze 4 in middle row than sit in last row. I was like, nb... might as well get the AT then not the GT then. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamburger Hypersonic June 16, 2020 Share June 16, 2020 CX9 not included, sorento is probably the only suv that sits an adult in relative comfort at the 3rd row. Even the ginormous Q7 is squeezy like hell. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to go up the boxy or full-sized MPVs to find that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently driving a Volvo S80 D2 which runs on Diesel and i like that it is fuel efficient. Now i am intending to change to 7 seater variant and looking for inputs from fellow members here. The volvo D2 shares the same engine as citroen picasso / peugeot 5008 HDi. so you may get a similar driving experience, fuel consumption. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
