The "king of cost performance" is not a waste of time, and the wheelbase of Kustu is more than 3m, which is more material than you think
In China, many people in the purchase of MPV models, will be the Buick GL8 as their preferred target, indeed the comprehensive strength of buick GL8 is very good, but people do not necessarily have to buy a car target limited to it, consider other models is also OK, such as hyundai Kustu. The starting price of 169,800 yuan is lower than many joint venture MPVs, and after you really understand it, you will know that it is more material than you think.
At a glance, the design of the Kustu incorporates the design elements of some SUV models, which feels more like a modified "SUV", which will be significantly smaller than the Buick GL8, so what everyone is most worried about is how its driving space is, after all, for MPV models, driving space is quite important.
The design of Kustu is simple and stylish, using the brand's latest design language, neither exaggerated nor monotonous, showing its own aura as an MPV. The inverted ladder-shaped front grille is undoubtedly its biggest design highlight, and the surface is a number of raised metal panels like fish scales that extend all the way to the sides. Finally connected with the headlights, the interior structure of the headlights is exquisite and stylish. For young dads, such a design language will undoubtedly be more attractive.
The body side shape is not very bulky, and the rigid waist line enriches the visual effect of the body and plays a role in tightening the body contour.
The high ground clearance gives it a good pass rate and can be better adapted to a variety of road conditions. Many details of the design have added some of the designer's "careful machine", such as the surface of the door handle has added some metal decorations, but I personally feel that some "painting snakes and adding feet", as to like it or not, it depends on personal preference.
The rear row is equipped with automatic doors, the slide rail of the electric door is directly designed on the surface of the body, the visual effect is not very beautiful, the design of the fuel tank below is also slightly cramped, from these details of the design, people can see that it is not an MPV from the beginning of the design, but improved from other models. The rear shape is still relatively atmospheric, and the red through-type light strip is very conspicuous and has a strong sense of contour.
The interior design layout is simple and generous, at a glance, there are basically no design elements that can be remembered immediately, and the large-size central control screen helps to enhance the sense of interior technology, but the workmanship has a certain sense of cheapness. The dashboard area is not large, it looks slightly stingy, when you sit in the driver's seat, you will find that the center console is low, but the seat is sitting in a relatively high position, and finally it is in a downward posture, which may not be very comfortable. In addition, the steering wheel only supports up and down adjustment, not front and rear adjustment.
Kustur adopts a 7-seat space layout, the wheelbase is more than 3m, the second row is two independent seats, to meet the basic riding comfort is no problem, support multi-directional adjustment, equipped with leg rests, the convenience of the configuration is also a lot. Unfortunately, the driving space is still limited, the seat front and back sliding range is not very large, after the backrest is completely lowered, the passenger can only be in a semi-reclining state, compared with the same level of model does not have much competitive advantage.
The third row is designed with three seats, the backrest angle is relatively soothing, and it is not very upright, the cushion is short and the filling is thin, which is also the "common disease" of many MPVs, the actual riding experience is not very good, of course, the temporary ride for a while is no problem. The backrest support of the third row of seats is fully reclined, forming a flat space with the trunk. If the user does not need to pull too many passengers, it is also possible to keep it in this state, which is convenient for some large luggage.
The configuration of the car is quite rich, and consumers with higher requirements for the driving experience need to consider medium and high-end models, and the driving experience is biased towards calm and comfortable, in line with the conventional performance of an MPV model. The sound insulation effect is decent, the power output of the 2.0T model will be more sufficient, and on the whole, the comprehensive strength of Kustu is still good, especially the price of the people. Of course, it also has many disadvantages, consumers need to choose according to their actual car needs.
