Two days ago, the 2022 Odyssey was listed, and the guide price was 23.58-35.48 million. Compared with the previous 22.98-32.38 million in 2021, the new Odyssey was commented by many netizens: "In the end, the price has increased!" "Before the listing, Xiaobian once went to a 4S store in Guangben for a walk, and wanted to take advantage of the new model to list, asked the old model whether the discount was big, and was told that the old model had long been gone.
Although there are many newly listed MPVs in the past two years, such as Volkswagen Weiran, Kia Jawa, domestic Xena, and Hyundai Kustu, in fact, it has not shaken the overall market pattern. After all, MPV this kind of car does not belong to the majority of people's just needs, and is not cheap, like the big brother Buick GL8, the main sales model is to more than 400,000 high-end series development - with more than 200,000 to buy MPV, really or a bit of a bad.
It's not that you can't buy it at all, it's just that you have fewer options. Below we compare the newly listed 2022 Odyssey, the affordable Hyundai Kustu, and the best-selling Trumpchi M8 in China.
01
Impression PK: The size is not important, the key is to have an MPV flavor
In terms of price, at a glance, hyundai Kusuit is the cheapest. Logically, such a cheap joint venture MPV should be very thirst-quenching, but its listing does not seem to set off a big wave, why? We'll stop at that.
Above is a comparison in terms of size. In this way, the odyssey is actually not dominant, just a medium-sized MPV. You don't have to say that many people who want to buy MPV for their families don't want too big a car, "It feels like driving a boat!" ”
For cars and SUVs, the appearance is at best good-looking. But for MPV, the appearance is too important! This directly determines the judgment of others about your identity when you are driving.
Daddy? driver? Still is........
The changes in the 2022 Odyssey are still relatively large, but the home attribute is still very strong, which is undoubtedly a symbol of the identity of the grandfather.
Trumpchi M8 is going to look "grand", originally the largest, compared to the Odyssey, it seems to be more business-
The size of the Kustu is centered, but this design looks very handsome, so many people feel that it is not thick and solid enough.
In addition, the Japanese MPV is well recognized, and another important reason is that it uses a combination of oil and electricity, which is very fuel-efficient. Ordinary users who are really determined to buy MPV must be often full of family members to run long distances, such a large car may also have to drive, can it not save fuel? This is why the Odyssey has endured.
02
Big Item PK: Doomed to be unfair, but Bibi knows what you want
It is bound to be unfair to take these three cars together and compare them to configuration. You see, the top match of Kustu is not enough to be the entry level of Odyssey! But if you don't compare yourself to each other, how do you know exactly what you want? Here, Xiaobian feels: electronic sliding door (preferably double-sided) + sunroof (preferably segmented) must be there, otherwise what is the difference between buying an MPV and buying a van?
According to this standard, you will find that [Odyssey] must start from the 285,800 collar version to have an electric sunroof (not segmented), while the flagship version (218,800) at the top of the [Kustu] has a double-sided electronic slider - the 219,800 [Trumpchi M8] Lingxiu series premium version, but the double-sided electronic sliding door and the segmented sunroof have been arranged.
Looking at the power side, trumpchi M8 data is the strongest, corresponding to the highest fuel consumption. The hybrid Odyssey is not powered, but has the lowest fuel consumption; Kustu is at the center level.
03
Configuration PK: spend two or three hundred thousand, what can you buy?
Logically, two joint venture cars and one domestic car are more than the configuration, and the domestic car is definitely the most expected. But in this round of comparison, we found that the Trumpchi M8 in the early 200,000s is completely better than the same price point of The Kustu; the price of the Odyssey is much higher, and there are more considerations in safety and auxiliary control, which should be! Without further ado, the table below is self-explanatory.
Friends who buy MPV will often focus on the second and third rows. In terms of comfort functions, it is still the most ideas of Kustu. In addition, the second row of seats in Odyssey and Kustu can be adjusted left and right, making it easier to get in and out of the third row. The Odyssey doesn't have a leg rest, and trumpchi M8 and Kustur are superior in this regard.
But in fact, the configuration table is difficult to reflect the comfort of the MPV because there are too many details. For example, the support and softness of the seat need to be experienced; as well as the design of storage slots, handles, lights, air conditioning outlets, and usage habits, these corners will affect everyone's perception. There are also many tricks to folding the seats in the third row, such as the third row of the Odyssey can be turned back into a fishing seat.
Written in the end: the difficulty of choosing MPV is more than choosing a car and SUV, especially finding an MPV with more than 200,000. Although the Odyssey sold well, but the reputation in noise reduction and shock filtering was not very good before, this time the whole car used laminated glass, which should be improved, but the price is not low; Kustu is actually very cost-effective, but the sense of grade of the exterior interior is also slightly less interesting, in the eyes of many people is not the optimal solution - no wonder some people say, look, look, and finally only look at the domestic Trumpchi M8.
