Models like Toyota Highlander or Honda Avancier offer spacious interiors, comfortable rear seating, and large trunk capacity for more luggage.
Large commercial van (suitable for 6 or more people)
If traveling with a large family or as a group tour with 6 or more people, a large commercial van is an excellent choice. It typically has 7-9 seats, very spacious interiors, comfortable seating, and some models come with luxurious interiors and various comfort features, providing a premium riding experience. Models like Buick GL8 or Mercedes-Benz Vito make long trips more relaxed and reduce travel fatigue.
Off-road vehicle (suitable for complex road conditions)
If you plan to visit areas with complex road conditions, such as the Duku Highway or Yizhao Highway, an off-road vehicle is essential. It has powerful off-road capability and a four-wheel-drive system, easily handling various harsh conditions like mud, gravel, and ice. Models like Toyota Prado or Mitsubishi Pajero are classics among off-road enthusiasts, known for high reliability and stability, allowing you to drive confidently even on difficult terrain.
