Metro Manila (CNN Philippines) — For any family, owning a car is an expensive but necessary investment. It not only takes you from place to place, but it’s a means to help you make the most of your day: it can take you from morning school runs to the office, and out of town on weekends. It’s important, then, to have a car that not only suits one person’s needs, but is able to accommodate a busy, growing brood.
Finding a car that is both functional and stylish can be a tough ask, but the All-New Nissan Livina manages to be an agile ride with a sleek, stylish look. Its V-motion grille and signature boomerang lamps make it look like a sporty coupe, while it provides generous space and ultimate functionality. After all, a car for the family is a car that ought to fit for all. Below are five features to consider when buying a car for you and your loved ones, and how the Nissan Livina ticks off your checklist — and perhaps even more.
Spacious enough to accommodate a growing family
Imagine not just driving for yourself and your partner, but also with your kids and a few of their friends. Perhaps a little one is on its way, too. A spacious car, then, is a real must. For its competitive price point, the Nissan Livina packs a lot in terms of size and capacity. The seven leather upholstered seats have a versatile flat-fold function. While providing generous storage, the Nissan Livina is still comfortable for everyone in the car.
Able to adapt to your busy lifestyle
The constant ferrying between school, work, and play can be taxing. It’s important to have a car that can act as a pseudo-virtual assistant. The Nissan Livina has user-friendly tech that anyone in the family can use. It has a seven-inch touchscreen display audio with Bluetooth connectivity. It’s easy to use Waze and Spotify even while on the go. And for anyone else in the car who’d like to act as navigator or DJ, they can easily stay connected with charging ports, located on all seat rows.
Perfect for hot tropical climates
At the height of summer, air-conditioning keeps everyone in the car cool — in more ways than one. Less hogging of the AC units among the kids means less fighting. Thankfully, Nissan’s trademark air-conditioning is also in the All-New Livina. From the front row all the way to the back, everyone in the car can enjoy the cool breeze.
Cost effective
Every penny counts, and funds not used on car maintenance are funds that can go to all of the family’s other needs. The Nissan Livina provides worry-free ownership: it has a five-year warranty (available for the VL variant) as well as twice a year preventative maintenance service.
Safe for you and your loved ones
Of course, stylishness and features are only secondary to what really matters — a car that keeps you and your loved ones safe. Tech and convenience features are found in the Nissan Livina. It has a reverse camera and parking sensors for backing up, an ISOFIX system that makes installing car seats much more convenient than anchoring it via seat belt, and an easy-to-use push start/stop button. The vehicle dynamic control makes use of various sensors to monitor driver inputs and vehicle motion, and will control braking and engine output to keep the vehicle on the steered path. The Hill Start Assist function prevents the car from rolling backwards on an incline by holding the brake for a few seconds while switching between the brake and gas pedals.
