Does the concept of the family bubble mean anything to you? Of course, the pandemic has changed many habits, but one fact remains: utility and family vehicles are very popular with Quebecers.
In order to start the year 2022 on the right foot, you may consider changing the vehicle model, to the delight of young and old. But no need to shop for new!
Thanks to retailers like HGregoire who have an impressive inventory of quality pre-owned vehicles for the family, it’s easy to quickly get your hands on the vehicle that will match your budget and your lifestyle.
Here is a list of van and station wagon models to consider in 2022:
Toyota Sienna
Accommodating seven or eight passengers in comfort, the Toyota Sienna is another minivan that appeals to families. In addition to the Pacifica since 2021, it is also the only minivan that has all-wheel drive, ensuring safer travel in the rain or in the snow.
Notice to camping enthusiasts: its excellent V6 has no difficulty pulling a trailer weighing up to 3,500 lbs. And it’s impossible to ignore the reliability that makes the reputation of Toyota products!
Honda Odyssey
No need to introduce the Honda Odyssey, which has been a benchmark in minivans for many years. Reliable and spacious, it provides a lot of comfort and is full of practical solutions, and even more since the 2018 redesign.
Let’s mention the intercom system cabin talk or the integrated vacuum cleaner in the Touring version – perfect for all small messes!
Dodge Grand Caravan
The Grand Caravan is by far the most experienced minivan in the industry and it proves it with several innovative features such as the famous seats Stow ‘n Go fold down into the floor. Its total loading volume is close to 4,000 litres! The 3.6-liter V6 does a good job with its 283 horsepower, which is expertly controlled by a six-speed automatic transmission.
Look for a Value Package Plus version if your budget is limited, otherwise a fully equipped GT for the ultimate in comfort and on-road entertainment. The Grand Caravan has hardly changed since its last redesign in 2008, so the model year has little bearing.
Subaru Outback
Who says family, says family! And in the genre, none is more versatile or satisfying than the Subaru Outback, whether before or after its 2020 redesign.
Despite the absence of a third row, it impresses with its space, comfort and convenience. From the practical roof rails to the standard all-wheel drive, this Subaru will serve you well – from home to cottage. Given its durability, you can enjoy it for a long time!
Dodge Journey
This vehicle has left us. Yet, as the least expensive seven-passenger vehicle on the Canadian market, its sales were still respectable.
A used Dodge Journey is a practical family vehicle and often more affordable than a Grand Caravan. Opt for a version with a V6 engine and all-wheel drive for maximum enjoyment on the road.
