Pepper car and model observation: With the liberalization of the national two- and three-tire policy, the space of models has become a rigid demand for families. There is demand, there is a market, MPV models in recent years gradually by the major manufacturers of the attention. It is particularly noteworthy that in this segment, the market share of compact MPV as a tool car is declining year by year, while the sales of large and medium-sized MPV that take into account both commercial and family are steadily rising.
As a Beijing Hyundai who has been working in the domestic market for many years, it also has insight into this market opportunity, and launched its first MPV model, Kustu, in September this year, positioning itself as a "household MPV popularizer", priced at 169,800-21.88 million yuan, bringing new surprises to consumers.
MPV models with great value for money
In fact, for families who want to buy an MPV model, price is also one of their priorities.
It is worth noting that the hyundai Kustu, as a large and medium-sized MPV, has a starting price of more than 100,000 yuan cheaper than the same Korean car. Compared with the previous version of the Buick GL8 and Toyota Xena, the "beggar in the beggar" version is 63,100 and 140,000 lower, respectively. Compared with the same level of self-owned brand models, the starting price of M8 and IMAX8 is also a little higher than that of Kustu.
This also means that Kustu has become the lowest priced model in the large and medium-sized MPV market at present, and it is very competitive in terms of price.
Domestic mainstream MPV price list
Watchmaking: Pepper Cars.
As a Korean car, cost performance has always been their label. Apparently, Kustu also inherits this gene, providing the space that an MPV model should have on an attractive price basis.
Compared with the main competitors, Kustu does not have an advantage in body size, but it is particularly worth mentioning that its shaft ratio reaches 0.617 (the proportion of wheelbase in the length), which ensures that Kustu will not be too small to be used by families for daily travel, nor will it lose its flexibility because the body is too large. This is important for families living in the city, as it is difficult to find a suitable parking space if the body size is too large.

Especially during the journey, if you want to give your child or driver a short break, the second row, known as the "family sleeping pod", can come in handy. It features a space-grade gravity-free seat that can be placed 135° to provide a comfortable sleeping angle for passengers.
In addition, since the legs and head space in the second row of the Kustu reach 1128mm and 1040mm respectively, even if the tall people come to ride, they will not feel crowded. The third row of shoulder space and head space in the Kustur also reached 1396mm and 977mm respectively, which is very advantageous over the same class. This also alleviates the overall journey fatigue of the driver and occupants to a certain extent.
At the same time, the small details of the front and second rows of seat heating, ventilation, electric adjustment, leg rests and small table panels are also arranged quite well, further enhancing the comfort of passengers.
Of course, the trunk space is also a good trick for Kustu, and in the case of full load, the 262L's super capacity can still accommodate 6 20-inch suitcases. If you put down the third row, the space can even reach 707L. At the same time, there are as many as 30 hidden storage spaces to take care of the travel needs of the family.
More homely
For the younger generation of consumers, the appearance value is also one of the important factors that attract them to consume. Looking around the Kustu for a week, you will find that it does have the excellent temperament and super high appearance of "Korean Oba".
The front face of the new car continues the jewel-style mid-mesh design, the irregular large-size grille with chrome decoration, coupled with personalized headlights, the sense of technology is born. The slender lines of the body and the design of the sliding door make it easy for passengers to get off the bus without lacking a sense of fashion. The two C-shaped tail lights in the rear part of the car are combined with the new modern English LOGO to further increase the toughness and recognition of the whole vehicle.
After pulling the car door, the overall feeling of the interior is that the atmosphere of home is very strong, and all the design is oriented towards practicality. The new car features a four-panel steering wheel and concealed air outlet design, as well as a fully digital instrument panel and a 10.4-inch suspension central control screen. In addition, the car machine also has a Baidu 3.0 intelligent network system, which ensures the fluency of various functions. Overall, pragmatism is evident in the Kustur car.
In addition, for business-oriented MPV, more attention needs to be paid to the comfort of the driver. The household MPV needs to take into account both power output and fuel consumption.
For families with fuel consumption performance requirements, you can choose 1.5T power. The 1.5T engine adopts the world's first CVVD continuous variable valve duration technology, with a maximum power of 125 kW, a maximum torque of 253 N·m, and a minimum fuel consumption of 6.4 L/100 km under NEDC conditions. Such fuel consumption values are believed to be very friendly for many economic families.
If it is a dad who has requirements for power, then the 2.0T version is more suitable. The new NU engine series, with a maximum power of 173.6 kW and a maximum torque of 353 N·m, the acceleration time of 100 km/h is only 8.8 seconds, and the fuel consumption of 100 km/h is 6.9 L. In terms of transmission system, the new car is equipped with an 8AT gearbox as standard, which brings the driver a smoother sense of gear switching.
In terms of intelligence, Kustu has not made less effort because of the affordable price. It features 24 Intelligent Driver Assistance Functions (ADAS) in its class, including road centering, lane departure warning, blind spot display and 360° panoramic imagery.
Among them, kus-way is also the only model in its class that has the following functions: SEA safe car riding assist, FCA-JT forward collision avoidance assist - intersectional counter-direction vehicle, NSCC navigation-based intelligent cruise control, LVDA forward departure reminder, DAW driver attention warning and DRM rear shadow. These features will undoubtedly reduce driver fatigue and further improve the safety of the journey, which is quite in line with the needs of "home".
From the professional point of view of the industry, the space, configuration and brand of the model at the same price as The Kustu are not as strong as it. And the space, configuration and kustu one of the models, the price is higher than it. Therefore, under the background of the gradual recovery of the domestic high-end MPV market, the Kustu launched by Beijing Hyundai will certainly be able to get a share of the MPV market and harvest more orders through the way of "Tianji Horse Racing".
