In Russia, there are many families in which from 3 to 5 children grow up. In order to travel with the whole family through the vast expanses of their native country from an early age, a roomy and passable car is required.

What technical parameters are still important for a family crossover?
- One of the main selection criteria is the price. Usually large families rarely boast high incomes. Therefore, car affordability must also be complemented by low fuel consumption and low maintenance costs.
- Children endure the road in different ways, one needs to create an optimal microclimate, and this can be done by a high-quality climate control system. The multimedia system helps others pass the time on the road. For safety reasons, the seats must have a child seat anchorage system.
