Looking for 6/7 seaters car in thailand

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to move to Thailand next month and my budget for a car is 200,000 Baht or less.

What brands are good, easy to repair, and commonly used in Thailand for 6/7-seaters?

I currently have offers for the following:

  • Chevrolet Captiva 2012 for 189,000 Baht
  • Chevrolet Captiva 2007 for 145,000 Baht
  • Toyota Wish for approximately 160,000 Baht
  • Toyota Avanza 2012 for 215,000 Baht

What should I get? I’ve heard that Chevrolets are not very popular in Thailand and can be hard to repair. I like the appearance of the Captiva, but I’m concerned about maintenance. Should I go for a diesel or petrol engine? I’ve never had a diesel car before, but I’m open to it if the fuel price is cheaper than petrol.

If a 6/7-seater isn’t possible within my budget, a 5-seater SUV would be fine too. Please recommend some models and brands.

P.S. Is there a service in Bangkok that offers car condition checks? I don’t want to end up with a flooded car. 😄

Thanks in advance!

That's all in Thai but if they still have a nationwide service network then I stand corrected.

I thought they exited Thailand a year or so ago? How long are those dealers going to be around for?

I still wouldn't buy one.

 

Cannot speak for the whole nation but in Pattaya Ford took over the service for Chevrolet.

 

Chevrolet closed down manufacturing and dealerships late 2020.

Honda used to do a 7-seater BR-V and CR-V, but price range might prove difficult.

 

Nissan or Mitsubishi do the Xpander. Again, price range will limit your choice.

what about ford eco sport 2015 guys ? i saw them on website from 1500000 to 200000 baht are they good car.

The Toyota Avanza is probably the most reliable and sensible option, even if it is incredibly boring

For me the Avanza works well in the 11th year now.

Chevrolet exited Thailand completely so forget those as there

I doubt it. You can buy new Chevrolet Captiva in Thailand. It's a reliable car since the new owner is in China. So made in China!

Too small for 6/7 passengers

avanza 2012 vs innova 2010 pls advise

 

avanza is just 1.5 and innnova is 2.0

Innova is a lot bigger so much better for 6/7 passengers

 

How about:

- Mitsubishi Space Wagon - 7 seats and in the price range. 

- Older PPV like Isuzu MU7, Ford Everest, Mitsubishi Pajero Sport, Toyota Sport Rider

How about a 1964 VW Kombi?

OP is looking for a second hand car. Since China is the share holder, spare parts are available with former Chevy dealers, probably from China. I can't see problems to buy a used Captiva if it comes to maintenance and spare parts.

Forget GM Cars or Ford , when japanese Cars available! Toyota and Mitsubishi (Pajero) are way out the Best. I Bought 2021 a Mitsubishi Pajero Year 2011. Unbreakable and comfortable. Had never a Problem since. Changed the Breakpads for 1500 Thb.
