With a comprehensive discount of RMB 40,000, Hyundai Kustu is even cheaper than Trumpchi M6 PRO!

"Dad, which MPV should our family buy?" Last weekend, when my son asked me this question, I was fighting a bass in the kitchen. The fish's tail slapped on the chopping board, which was very similar to the sound of being slapped in the face by a salesperson in a 4S store - budget, space, fuel consumption, safety, every indicator was fighting in my mind. But just yesterday, I didn’t worry about it at all, because my friend Lao Li gave me a screenshot of Kustu’s discount: the comprehensive discount is 40,000, and the naked car is more than 130,000, which is cheaper than the mid-range luxury version of the Trumpchi M6 PRO next door! At that moment, I felt like I had picked up a hidden Ultraman card, and I was so excited that I almost threw the spatula away.

Let’s talk about Lao Li’s story first. Lao Li has a typical family configuration of "two children + two dogs", and going out is like a small move. Last year, he gritted his teeth and bought a Trumpchi M6 PRO for 139,800, thinking that it would be enough. As a result, the car overturned on my first self-driving trip - not really, but because there were two children and a Samoyed stuffed in the third row. The dog had his head pressed against the window the whole time, drooling like a waterfall, and the children cried like a duet. The first thing Lao Li said after he came back was: "I knew I would have paid a few thousand more to go to Kustu!" Why? Because the Kustu's wheelbase is 3.05 meters, which is a full 25 centimeters longer than the M6 ​​PRO, the third row can allow a 1.8-meter adult man to stretch his legs, let alone a dog. Now Lao Li drives his M6 PRO to pick up and drop off his children every day, with a look of regret in his eyes.

It’s enough to buy a year’s compulsory traffic insurance for the whole family, plus an annual pass to the children’s amusement park. And the configuration list of Kustu will shock you when you take it out: double-sided electric sliding doors, second-row independent seats with leg rests, L2 driving assistance, segmented sunroof... especially the electric sliding door. When picking up the children from school, it will automatically open the door with a slight "didi" sound. The parent driving the M6 ​​PRO next door was still manually pulling the door, and almost caught the school bag strap when he slipped his hand. The scene was so embarrassing that he dug his toes on the ground.

Anyone worried about fuel consumption? I've actually tested it. The combination of Kustu's 1.5T+8AT shows 7.2L when the city is stuck in a parking lot, and 5.8L when cruising at high speed, which is a full 1L lower than my cousin's 1.5T dual-clutch M6 PRO. Don’t underestimate this 1L. If you run 20,000 kilometers a year, the price of No. 92 oil is 7.5 yuan. You can save 1,500 yuan a year, which is enough to take your children to Chimelong Zoo twice. And the 8AT gearbox is really fragrant, the shifting is as smooth as Dove chocolate ads, and the dual-clutch is frustrating at low speeds? Doesn't exist. As a novice driver like my wife, she didn’t even get out of breath at the start when driving the Kustu.

The safety aspect is even better. Custo received five stars in the China Insurance Research Institute's crash test, with an active safety score of 92%. One time I was distracted while driving and almost ran into a courier tricycle in the next lane. The lane keeping system beeped twice and pulled me back. I was so frightened that I broke into a cold sweat, but I silently gave Kustu a thumbs up. Although the M6 ​​PRO also has active braking, it only appears in high-end configurations. The price is 160,000+, and the price/performance ratio is instantly beaten.

Finally, an Easter egg. The second row of small tables in Kustu is simply a "magic tool for coaxing babies". I took my son to camp last week. He put down the small table and the Transformers were neatly arranged. While eating potato chips, he muttered: "Dad, this is more comfortable than the high-speed rail business class seat!" I looked at him through the rearview mirror and smiled so hard that I couldn't see my eyes. I suddenly felt that the 40,000 yuan discount was well spent - not only did I buy a car, I packed up the happiness of the whole family and took it away.

So, stop worrying about “domestic or joint venture” and “cheap or expensive”. Now the Kustu discounts are here, starting at 130,000 yuan and top-level configurations at 160,000 yuan. The space, configuration, fuel consumption, and safety are all online. Even the sales at the 4S store secretly said: "If you don't buy it at this price, it will not be a good thing when the new model comes on the market!" I paid the deposit yesterday and will pick up the car next week. If you are also confused in the sea of ​​MPVs, you might as well go to the store and have a look - remember to bring a ruler to measure the wheelbase, and try the electric sliding doors by the way. You will come back to thank me.
