There will be enough space for everyone and even more space.
The trunk of the Nissan is large. There can fit about 480 liters of cargo, but if you fold the back row, then the volume will increase to 1773 liters. And this is many times more. By the way, the back row folds into a flat area.

She reaches hundreds with a base engine in 11-12 seconds (depending on the gearbox). And the maximum speed is 169-181 km / h. By the way, this is still a very economical car.

The basic equipment of the model is quite extensive. There is an on-board computer, air ducts (for rear-row passengers), a climate system, multi-function steering wheel adjustable in two directions, power windows and a CD player (supports MP3). The main thing is that this is not the whole list.
