Many netizens are curious about a question. In the past, you can see extended cars in many cities, such as extended Lincoln, extended Cadillac and extended Hummer. With the passage of time, there are fewer and fewer such extended cars, not to say that there are none, but the number is less than before. Now that there are more rich people than before, there should be more extended cars. Why are there fewer and fewer extended cars in China? Let's talk about this problem today.

The extended car mentioned today is a car that is more than 6 meters long. The representative models are extended Lincoln and extended Hummer. In the past, some big companies would choose extended cars as reception vehicles with full-time drivers, and individual wedding companies also loved extended cars. Considering the cost, wedding companies are more inclined to buy second-hand extended cars. As time goes by, some overdue cars have been scrapped. Now that it has been scrapped, you can buy it again. It's not that simple. Extended cars are not very popular now. There are probably the following reasons.

Reason 1: Authorization policy. 20 13 before the implementation of the new traffic regulations, vehicles over 6 meters shall be licensed according to the number of seats. Although the extended car is more than 6 meters, there are few seats, so they are all blue license plates. Later, the new traffic regulations were implemented, with 6 meters, 4.5 tons and 9 seats. As long as there is more than one three indicators, they are allowed to be yellow. General driver's license can't control yellow trucks.

Reason two: inconvenient. More than a decade ago, cars were not officially popularized and the number was relatively small. It is easy for a car to find a parking space and turn around. There are more cars now, and the roads in the city have not been widened much. Even some main roads are not widened at all. How many cars were there ten years ago? How many cars now have viaducts and tunnels, but they can't keep up with the rapid growth of cars. Traffic jams are commonplace, and it is forbidden to turn around everywhere. It is difficult to turn around and stop. Some parking lots are not allowed at all, and their popularity is reduced.

Reason three: safety, there are many extension cars, but there are not many extension cars from the original factory. The car body must be cut first, split in two and then spliced. Although welding can ensure the accuracy and strength of the car body, it can't be compared with the original factory. Just say one thing. If the original car is equipped with ten airbags, can it be extended? Although the refit factory will also do various safety tests, and the test standards can meet the national safety standards, the safety is still not as good as that of the original factory. Reduce popularity.

In addition to the above reasons, high-end MPV has also seized some markets. In addition, low-key is popular now. Such a long car is too eye-catching, and the passability of the extended car is not good. Although the SUV has a high chassis, its center of gravity is high and its safety is compromised. To sum up, there are naturally fewer extended cars than before.
