Space experience & a small transformation and a long test of GM6 (2)

　　[car home Long-term Test] How time flies! Three weeks passed in a flash. In the recent period, I found that I and my family really can’t live without this car more and more. It is convenient to use a lot of space, and the comfortable configuration can basically satisfy me. (|) It is really cool to use it every day. Therefore, in this issue, we mainly talk about the performance of GM6 in terms of ride comfort and space, including some minor improvements I have made to the second row of seats. If you have any questions after reading it, you can leave a message under my editing blog and I will give you a reply as soon as possible.

　　◆ Experience of the ride and space:

　　The second row of seats is not designed with floor slides like the benchmark models such as GL8 and Odyssey, so its range of forward and backward movement is quite limited. The backrest of the seat can be tilted backward at a large angle, but the forward range is extremely limited, and the whole seat does not have the function of folding forward. In addition, the seat itself has no additional charging interface or storage slot, just two comfortable seats, lacking some exquisite designs.

　　The children’s seat was removed from my old car, and the most versatile seat belt type fixing method was adopted. Naturally, there was no problem when it was placed on the second row seat of GM6, and the backrest fit was also very good. After it was completely fixed, the seat was not easy to shake and would not bring security risks.

　　GM6 was developed based on the cross-platform modular architecture of Guangzhou Automobile G-CPMA. The same architecture also produced 18 models in two series, namely GM8, GS5, GA6, GE3, etc. The architecture is really malleable. However, GM6′ s convenience in getting on and off in the rear row is still somewhat unsatisfactory. Except for the side sliding door, there is no step design when the height of the rear floor is high. The measured height from the ground to the floor is 420mm, which will be somewhat unfriendly to the elderly or children with mobility difficulties. In this respect, GM6 makes people feel that its back row is not like a traditional MPV, so we should continue to learn the Odyssey.

　　Some of GM6′ s third-row seats draw lessons from the design of Japanese cars, and the whole seat leans backward, so the hip center position will be lower. In addition, the design of the floor groove will further release the leg space, and the design of the third row can really give consideration to comfort and practicality.

　　During the long-term test, it is rare to be full, so I use the diagram in my colleague’s test article to show the storage capacity of the trunk in the six-seat state.

　　Most of the time, I use GM6 as a "four-seater nanny car" and never worry that I can’t put my luggage down. Occasionally, I have to go back to my parents’ house with my daughter-in-law on weekends, so there are many things that need to be loaded in the trunk. My daughter-in-law’s clothes, children’s toys, and sometimes two baby carriages need to be loaded. Of course, these are not problems. GM6 can really be loaded.
