Ndine injiniya wamakina komanso woyesa magalimoto. Apa ndipamene ndifikira mkangano wa SUV ndi minivan

Pamene ndinu kholo, muli ndi zambiri zinthu kunyamula. Kuchokera pamipando yamagalimoto, zoyenda pansi, ndi zikwama za matewera, kupita ku golosale ndi matumba a Target.

Koma kodi muyenera kuyika ndalama mu SUV kapena minivan kuti mutenge ana anu (ndi chilichonse chomwe chimabwera nawo) mozungulira?

Chowonadi ndi chakuti, zimatengera. Ine pandekha ndimayendetsa minivan. Koma monga injiniya wamakina ndi woyesa magalimoto omwe adayesa magalimoto mazana ambiri kwa zaka zopitilira 15, ndikumvetsetsa kuti kusankha galimoto yoyenera ndi chisankho chachikulu, ndikuti banja lililonse lili ndi zida zawo zapadera zomwe ziyenera kukhala nazo.

Ndinayankhula ndi Eddie AltermanItsegula zenera latsopanomnzawo wa Galimoto ndi Oyendetsa M’magalimotoItsegula zenera latsopano podcast, kutithandiza kuyeza ubwino ndi kuipa kwa minivan ndi SUV, kuti mupeze zomwe zimakupindulitsani inu ndi banja lanu.

Kodi ubwino woyendetsa SUV ndi chiyani?

Si chinsinsi kuti SUVs banja zambiri sleeker, kuphatikizapo pali zambiri SUV options kusankha. Nazi zambiri zomwe zimapangitsa ma SUV kukhala odziwika bwino pankhani yoyika ndalama ngati njira yapabanja lanu:

• Pali zambiri zosiyanasiyana. Ngakhale “maminivans kale anali odziwika bwino pamagalimoto apabanja, kwatsala mitundu yochepa yogulitsidwa pamsika waku US lero,” akutero Alterman, koma momwe ma SUV amapita, pali mazana. Kuchokera pama crossovers ophatikizika mpaka ma behemoth akulu akulu, pali SUV yabanja lililonse – osatchulanso ma SUV amabwera pamitengo yosiyanasiyana, nawonso.
• Amatha kuthana ndi misewu yovuta. Ma SUV amakhala pamwamba pamtunda kuposa magalimoto okhazikika ndi ma vani. Izi zikutanthauza kuti amatha kudutsa mabampu ndi kuviika mosavuta, ndipo sangathe kukhazikika. Ma SUV ambiri ali ndi ma wheel drive (AWD) kapena ma wheel drive anayi (4WD) omwe amathandiza mawilo awo kugwira bwino mumsewu pamalo oterera, monga mvula, matalala, kapena matope. Izi zitha kukhala zothandiza ngati mumakhala kwinakwake komwe kumakhala nyengo yachisanu kapena chilimwe chamvula.
• Amakhala ndi mawonekedwe abwinoko. Chifukwa ma SUV amakhala pamwamba pamtunda, zikutanthauza kuti mudzakhala pamwamba panjira, nanunso. Kukhala pamwamba kumapangitsa makolo ambiri kumva otetezeka chifukwa mumatha kuwona njira zambiri zakuzungulirani.
• Iwo ali otetezeka kwambiri. Makolo amakonda ma SUV chifukwa ndi otetezeka kwambiri, malinga ndi mavoti apamwamba a chitetezo kuchokera ku mabungwe monga National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) ndi Institute Insurance for Highway Safety (IIHS). Nthawi zonse yang’anani mapangidwe anu enieni ndi mtundu wanu kuti muwone mavoti aposachedwa a chitetezo cha NHTSAItsegula zenera latsopano ndi IIHS’s top ngozi chitetezo amasankhaItsegula zenera latsopano kuti muwone momwe zosankha zanu zimakhalira pamayeso owonongeka.
• Mutha kuyesa dzanja lanu pakukoka. Ma SUV akuluakulu ambiri amatha kukoka mapaundi 7,000 kapena kupitilira apo, zomwe zimawapangitsa kukhala osankhidwa bwino ngati banja lanu lipita kumisasa ndipo likufunika kukoka ma trailer, mabwato, kapena omanga msasa pafupipafupi.
• Amakonda kusunga mtengo wawo. Mukudziwa mawu akuti, “mutangoyendetsa galimoto yanu pamtunda imatsika mtengo?” Izi ndizoona pamagalimoto onse, koma ma SUV amakhala ochulukirapo pakapita nthawi kuposa ma minivans, akutero Alterman, kutanthauza kuti mukakhala okonzeka kugulitsa kapena kugulitsa, mupeza zambiri pa SUV kuposa momwe mungagulitsire van.

Kodi Zoyipa Zoyendetsa SUV Ndi Chiyani?

Ngakhale pali zambiri zokonda za SUVs, pali zovuta zina zomwe muyenera kuziganizira ngati muli pamsika wagalimoto yatsopano yabanja:

• Ali ndi injini zaludzu. Mitengo ya gasi imatha kukwera mwachangu ndipo ma SUV akuluakulu angakhale okopa, amakonda kutulutsa mpweya wambiri. Mwamwayi, ma SUV ambiri tsopano amabwera mumitundu yosakanizidwa kapena pulagi-mu hybrid, zomwe zitha kukhala zosavuta pa chikwama chanu pampopu.
• Mizere yachitatu nthawi zambiri imakhala yofinya. Ngakhale ma SUV ena amapereka mipando yachitatu, malo mumzere wachitatu ndi ochepa kwambiri, kutanthauza kuti mwaukadaulo mutha kuyika mpando wagalimoto pamenepo, koma kuyiyika ndikulowetsa mwana wanu ndi kutuluka kungakhale kovuta. Ndipo ngati muli ndi mwana wamng’ono yemwe mungafunikire kukhala naye nthawi ndi nthawi, zikhoza kukhala zovuta kwambiri, malingana ndi SUV.
• Malo onyamula katundu angakhalenso othina. Maonekedwe a malo onyamula katundu wa ma SUV nthawi zambiri amakhala osasunthika kuposa momwe amachitira mu minivans, zomwe zikutanthauza kuti mufunika kupanga luso mukamakweza ma stroller ndi masutukesi. SUV mwina ili ndi mipando ya kanyumba kapena benchi mumzere wachiwiri – ndipo, akutero Alterman, mipandoyo nthawi zonse siyingasunthidwe kapena kuchotsedwa mosavuta ngati ndi minivan.

Kodi ubwino woyendetsa minivan ndi chiyani?

Kaya ndi ma stroller, bokosi lalikulu la Costco la matewera ndi zopukuta, masutukesi oti mupite kutchuthi, kapena zonse zomwe zili pamwambapa, palibe kukana kuti ma minivan atha kuthana ndi zonsezi, chifukwa cha mkati mwake. Maonekedwe a bokosi amatanthauza kuti muli malo ochuluka mkati mwazochitika zonse za banja lanu ndi zofunika.

Nazi zina mwazabwino zokhala ndi minivan:

• Iwonso ali otetezeka kwambiri. Monga ma SUV, ma minivans ali ndi mavoti apamwamba kwambiri achitetezo chonse. Monga ndi SUVs (kapena galimoto iliyonse nkhani), inu nthawizonse ndikufuna fufuzani kupanga anu enieni ndi chitsanzo kuona mmene anachita mu National Highway Magalimoto Safety Administration ndi Institute Inshuwalansi kwa Highway Safety mayeso ngozi.
• Simungathe kupambana kuchuluka kwa malo omwe ali nawo. Ma minivans amalamulira kwambiri m’malo onyamula anthu komanso onyamula katundu. Ma minivans onse ali ndi njira zanzeru zokulitsa malo awo onyamula katundu, chifukwa cha kapangidwe kawo kabokosi ndi mipando yopindika, yosunthika kapena yochotsa kwathunthu, Alterman akuti. “Mipando ya Chrysler Pacifica imatha kupindika pansi, Honda Odyssey imakulolani kusuntha mipando mozungulira, Kia Carnival ili ndi mwayi wokhala ndi mipando yamtundu wa VIP kuti mutonthozedwe kwambiri, ndipo mipando ya woyendetsa galimoto ya Toyota Sienna ikhoza kutsetsereka kuti iwonjezere malo onyamula katundu.” Izi zimapangitsa kukhala kosavuta kusintha masinthidwe okwera galimoto yanu, kutengera mipando ingati yamagalimoto kapena anthu omwe muli nawo.
• Amatha kukhala ndi anthu ambiri. M’ma minivans, mutha kukhala anthu asanu ndi awiri mpaka asanu ndi atatu chifukwa pali zipinda zambiri zam’miyendo ndi zipinda zam’mutu m’mizere yonse itatu. Izi zikutanthauza kuti ngakhale inu, monga kholo, mutha kufinya kumbuyo ndi mwana wanu wakhanda pampando wamagalimoto ngati pakufunika. (Ngakhale zingakhale zovuta kwa akuluakulu opangidwa ndi akuluakulu.)
• Ndi zotsika mtengo. Ma minivans nthawi zambiri amapambana pamtengo. Amawononga ndalama zochepa kuposa ma SUV, zomwe zimawapangitsa kukhala okonda ndalama kwa mabanja.
• Amabwera ndi zinthu zambiri zokomera banja. Ngati mutasankha chitsanzo chapamwamba, nthawi zambiri amabwera atadzaza ndi zinthu monga zotsuka zotsuka zomangidwira, mithunzi ya dzuwa ya ana anu ndi ana ang’onoang’ono pamipando yakumbuyo, ndi ma TV kuti ana anu akuluakulu (kapena inuyo!) asangalale paulendo wautali. Ngakhale sizofunikira kwenikweni, kukhala ndi zinthu izi pokonzekera kumapangitsa moyo wanu kukhala wosavuta monga kholo.
• Iwo amawononga kwambiri mafuta. Ngakhale ma minivans ndi ma SUV amapereka njira zingapo zowotcha mafuta, ma minivan nthawi zambiri amapereka mtunda wabwino wa gasi kuposa ma SUV ofananira, zomwe zimakupulumutsirani ndalama pa mpope.
• Ndipo musagogode zitseko zotsetsereka. Ma minivans ndi apadera chifukwa ndi magalimoto okhawo okhala ndi zitseko zotsetsereka – ndipo nthawi zambiri, zitseko zokha. Izi zikutanthauza kuti simuyenera kuyika mpando wa galimoto ya mwana wanu, kukumba makiyi anu, ndikugwira mwana wanu wamng’ono ndi dzanja nthawi iliyonse yomwe mukufuna kulowa.

Zoyipa zoyendetsa minivan ndi chiyani?

Ngakhale ma minivans ndi abwino kwambiri, monga ma SUV, alinso ndi zovuta zina zofunika kuziganizira:

• Anthu ena ali ndi mayanjano oipa ndi ma minivans. Mapangidwe awo nthawi zonse sakhala okongola kwambiri pa maere, ndipo izi zimalepheretsa makolo ena kudzipereka ku moyo wa minivan. Ntchito nthawi zambiri imayang’anira mawonekedwe a makolo – koma kwa okonda mafashoni, pali zosankha zotsogola masiku ano kuposa kale.
• Iwo amakhala pansi pansi. Ma minivans ali ndi chilolezo chocheperako poyerekeza ndi ma SUV, zomwe zimawapangitsa kukhala osachita bwino kuthana ndi malo ovuta, monga kuyendetsa mapiri kapena kutsika misewu yafumbi. Kutsika pansi kumathanso kumva kukhala otetezeka kwambiri kwa madalaivala ena, poyerekeza ndi SUV.

Kodi muyenera kuganizira chiyani posankha pakati pa minivan ndi SUV?

Pali zinthu zambiri zomwe muyenera kuziganizira posankha mtundu wa galimoto yomwe ili yabwino kwa banja lanu. Ma SUV ndi ma minivans ndi ena mwa magalimoto otetezeka kwambiri pamsika, kotero mutha kumva bwino pogula imodzi mwamagalimotowa pankhani yoteteza banja lanu momwe mungathere pamsewu.

Koma kukuthandizani kudziwa zoyenera kuchita wanu moyo wa ogwira ntchito, nazi zina zomwe muyenera kuziganizira:

Tchaticho chikhoza kudulidwa, pukutani kuti muwone tchati chonse

Mbali	Wopambana	Minivan	SUV
Mphamvu zokhala pansi	Minivan	Okwera 7-8 (amasiyana malinga ndi chitsanzo)	Okwera 5-8 (amasiyana malinga ndi chitsanzo)

Ndipo nazi zina zofunika kuziganizira:

• Kodi galimotoyo idzagwiritsidwa ntchito bwanji nthawi zambiri? Ngati mumayendetsa magalimoto ambiri mumsewu waukulu, mutha kupeza kuti chiwongolero, mabuleki, kuthamanga, komanso (zowona) chitonthozo ndizofunikira kwa inu pamaulendo ataliataliwo. Kuyesa kuyendetsa magalimoto ang’onoang’ono ndi ma SUV kungakuthandizeni kusankha chomwe chimakupatsani mwayi woyendetsa bwino pamtundu wa msewu womwe muzikhala nthawi zambiri. Ngati mukuyenda mu chisanu ndi ayezi m’miyezi yozizira, SUV ikhoza kukhala yothandiza. Ngati mukuyendetsa magalimoto ambiri mumzinda, minivan ikhoza kukhala yabwino.
• Mukufuna mzere wachitatu? Ngati simusowa mzere wachitatu, SUV yokulirapo imatha kupereka malo onyamula katundu ambiri okhala ndi mipando yopindika pansi. Komabe, ngati mumagwiritsa ntchito mizere yonse itatu pafupipafupi, mipando yachitatu ya minivan yokhala ndi mizere yachitatu yokhala ndi mwayi wofikira mosavuta ingakhale yothandiza.
• Ndi zinthu zina ziti zomwe zili zofunika kwa inu? Kodi mumayenda pafupipafupi? Kodi muli ndi ziweto? Kodi mukufuna kukulitsa banja lanu? Awa ndi mafunso onse omwe muyenera kuwaganizira mukamagwiritsa ntchito zomwe zili pamwambapa – komanso mukayesa kuyendetsa magalimoto. Ngati muli ndi mwana mmodzi kapena awiri ndipo simukukonzekera kukhala ndi ena, SUV ikhoza kukhala yabwino. Ngati muli ndi ziweto zochepa zomwe zingafunike malo oti mukhale, malo onyamula katundu mu minivan akhoza kukhala kubetcha kwabwino.

Ndiye ndi galimoto iti yomwe imapambana? Chisankho chabwino kwambiri chimadalira zosowa za banja lanu ndi moyo wanu, komanso zomwe zili zofunika kwambiri kwa inu. Kwa mabanja omwe amayamikira njira yowongoka, yosangalatsa, SUV ikhoza kukhala yoyenera. Ngati zochitika ndi magwiridwe antchito zikuyenda bwino, minivan sidzakhumudwitsa.

Zikafika pamenepo, ma minivans ndi ma SUV amapereka zinthu zambiri zokomera mabanja, monga machitidwe achisangalalo akumbuyo mumitundu ina ndi chitetezo chaukadaulo chambiri monga machenjezo onyamuka panjira, kuyang’anira malo osawona, ndi njira zopewera kugundana. Ichi ndichifukwa chake ndikofunikira kuganizira za bajeti yanu, kuchuluka kwa malo omwe mukufuna, komwe mumayendetsa komanso momwe mumayendetsa, komanso zomwe zili zofunika kwambiri.

Langizo lalikulu kwambiri ndikuwonetsetsa kuti mupite kukayesa kuti muwone zomwe zimamveka bwino komanso zogwirizana ndi kayendetsedwe kanu, akutero Alterman. Galimoto yabwino kwambiri ndi yomwe imasunga banja lanu kukhala lotetezeka, losangalala, komanso lokonzekera maulendo anu onse pamodzi.
