Pick the seating layout first. A six-seat vehicle suits an order that requires third-row seating. A five-seat vehicle is a better starting point when the brief calls for five occupants and a luggage-focused layout.
Why the seating label matters
The official China-market five-seat and six-seat configuration sheets list the same 3,160 mm wheelbase. This shared measurement does not tell you how the cabin is arranged. Ask for photos of the second row, the rear cabin and the luggage floor of the proposed vehicle. Confirm the seat count on the order and vehicle documents.
Which powertrain options are comparable?
The configuration sheets show 44.85 kWh batteries for the listed 1.5T trims and 52.38 kWh for the listed 2.0T trims. Compare the same engine and battery class when deciding between seating layouts. Treat rear entertainment, seat functions and other equipment as separate trim checks.
What should a showroom buyer check?
For a six-seat brief, check third-row access and usable luggage room with all seats raised. For five seats, check the second-row layout and cargo floor dimensions with seats in their normal position. Request actual measurements or photos if your customers have a specific luggage or equipment requirement.
How do I ask for comparable prices?
Request separate five-seat and six-seat quotes for the same quantity, named port and trade term. Specify the engine and essential rear-cabin equipment on each line. If the supplier offers an alternative trim, ask for a written equipment and price comparison before approving the change.
