Motor Expo 2026

"Autoinfo" will take you to try out the 3rd-row seats of popular new car models from 3 nationalities at Motor Expo 2025, because for family cars, the 3rd-row seat is another important point in choosing a purchase.

GWM Tank 500

The largest in its segment, a full-size true SUV, the Tank 500 comes with the image of a large, luxurious off-road SUV, over 5 meters long and almost 2 meters wide, making the interior feel “spacious” from the front row to the middle row and even the 3rd row. The highlight is the seat arrangement that doesn't restrict knee room and shoulder room, which is clearly wider than its competitors. And the 3rd row of the Tank 500 is one of the few models that can accommodate adults, showing that it can be used for long journeys without feeling “crammed” into the back of the car. 

Hyundai Santa Fe

The new Santa Fe is another model that, while not as large as the Tank 500, offers a surprisingly spacious cabin thanks to its angular design and good space management. The 2nd row is highly adjustable. Its best feature is the ability to walk through the middle seat gap, providing more legroom and easier entry/exit for the 3rd row. The 3rd row of the Santa Fe is considered “usable” for adults who are not too tall or for medium-distance travel. The car's agility is also better than larger SUVs, making it comfortable for city use.

Nissan X-Trail e-POWER

The newest SUV, which comes with 7-seater configuration. The good point is its purely electric motor drive system (the engine acts as a generator), which makes for a smooth and economical drive. However, the car is the smallest overall among the three models. It can be seen that the interior space management is quite narrow and is only suitable for short journeys, or more for children or small passengers. If adults use it, they will feel cramped, especially regarding headroom and legroom. It is suitable only for essential use and not for long-distance travel with a full row.

For anyone still looking for a family car, you can come and see the actual vehicles or other car models along with special promotions at “The 42nd Thailand International Motor Expo 2025” from November 29 - December 10, 2025, at IMPACT Challenger, Muang Thong Thani.
