True. But What about some numbty ramp you? I rather have a curtain airbag to land on rather than me head VS the window or the pillar.

At the moment thats not a lot of choice with that price range. The next level with 6 airbags is the Vellfire Hybrid. Very unfortunate you in Malaysia.

Since you mention vellfire but not into toyota,what about the luxury Nissan Elgrand?
Or maybe a cheaper alternative hyundai starex royale

Just get estima lo. Anyway,i think vellfire/starex is too big for 3 adults and 1 infant. unLess u are to going have a football team of kids.

Mazda Biante... but I think it only have 2 airbags as well

Buy car to drive not to hit is very stupid. That way no need insurance too, right? A safe car is a health/life insurance that works before you are injured/dead.

4 people only need MPV? Anyway, Peugeot 5008 (based on old Citroen C4 Picasso) and the all new Citroen C4 Grand Picasso. Thr C4 will be more comfortable (ride), more modern, a bit safer, better looking and very fuel saving (diesel), but also more expensive. If you don't mind getting an excuse for going to massage all the time then the VW Touran can be considered too, though it should offer less space.

For more space there is the Ford S-Max and the VW Sharan.

Honda Odyssey or Toyota Wish.

Current wish got more airbags i think

The newest Toyota Wish comes fully fitted with ten SRS airbags: dual front, front side, front, middle and rear curtain shield airbags.

If you want more airbags and a new car with warranty and stuff, the choices I've listed are what you'll probably have to pick from. The Exora Prime has 2.

Personally I'd get the C4 Grand Picasso. The Sharan is overkill for you, I'd say that's between Estima and Alphard. You don't need that much.

Nice, torquey diesel engine with a regular 6 speed torque converter, so unlike VW and Ford no need to worry about DSG.

If you can wait I'd wait a bit to see if Citroen is going to CKD it, which should mean it gets EEV status and thus lower taxes, thus a lower price tag (currently at 190k).




There's a reason why this car is more or less _the_ family MPV in Europe.

Yes, but the 5008, which is related to the predecessor of the C4 Grand Picasso, costs quite a bit less. This is a better car though...

And a very successful one. 67000 sold in 6 months, most popular MPV in Europe. Toyota's competitor did 17600, outsold even by the 5008 with 20200. The Mazda5 sells in pathetically low numbers.

If u don't need the 3rd row the Touran would be fine too, my major gripes with it are the harsh suspension (which will ease up a bit over time, and smaller rims would probably also help) and the useless 3rd row (unless you transport amputees...). Boot space is quite decent.

But yeah, go, buy a C4 Grand Picasso, so that Citroen doesn't give up the Malaysian market again
