In recent years, with the continuous improvement of the consumption level of Chinese users and the enrichment of car usage scenarios, people's traditional car purchasing concepts and car usage habits are quietly undergoing fundamental changes. Recently, a friend asked me about a car purchase issue, which I think is quite representative.
This friend of mine owns a Skoda Octavia that has been purchased for nearly ten years and has a mileage of hundreds of thousands of kilometers. Since he had a child the year before last, he loves self-driving travel and hopes to take his children and parents with him when traveling in the future, so he hopes to replace and purchase an MPV. After test-driving many of the best-selling MPV models currently on the market, he came to me to give me some car buying advice. After a detailed understanding of his car purchase budget and needs, we finally targeted the Beijing Hyundai 2024 Custo. This MPV, which was launched in August this year, is not only large in size and can meet the travel needs of his family of five, but also has 24 ADAS configurations to ensure driving safety, so that he does not have to worry about the safety of his children and parents. Within the price range of 200,000 yuan, the 2024 Custo is a great value choice.
