After the A-pillar moves forward, the engine compartment is relatively short, which also conforms to the body structure of MPV. A-pillar triangular window and sunken rearview mirror bracket can reduce blind spots and wind noise. Of course, the second row is the sliding door as the essence of MPV, but the guide rail does not adopt the hidden design integrated under the rear porthole. Judging from the test vehicle, the taillight group will be a combined horizontal light body layout.
At present, the interior part is still highly confidential, and only the four-spoke steering wheel with the same style as the new Sonata to be listed soon can be seen, and it is decorated with a symmetrical silver C-shaped frame. It is expected that the integrated LCD instrument and multimedia system screen of the new Sonata and Yazun will become a new family style and will also be applied to new MPV models. The auxiliary instrument panel is of high platform structure, and the key-type electronic gear shifting mechanism will be adopted.
The seats are 2+2+3 layout, and the larger wheelbase and body width ensure sufficient leg space in the second row. Folding handrails are provided on both sides of the independent sofa seats. And an independent control panel and a water cup holder are arranged below the air outlet of the middle air conditioner in the rear row. The larger body size and curb weight determine that the modern MPV may use the same 240 HP 2.0TGDi direct injection engine as the new Sonata and Shengda, with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
At present, Hyundai Motor Group is a blank in China MPV market. Kia once introduced Jiahua MPV to China, but it didn't last as long as the same model Buick GL8 in the same period. Although 20 15 imported a new generation of Jiahua models, the weakness of Kia brand, coupled with its uncompetitive import status in terms of product cost performance, ended in delisting in a short time.
In terms of modern brands, H- 1 Wing Beat was introduced, but this MPV is more inclined to commercial vehicle models, with front and rear drive, and the whole bridge depends on the rear suspension, which belongs to the same category as Jianghuai Ruifeng and Dongfeng Fengxing. Now Beijing Hyundai MPV has come to an end as a domestic product, and it is really determined to make great efforts in this blank market.
This year, the business MPV market is particularly lively. Not only will Volkswagen Verolan be listed soon, but the Roewe MPV of its own brand is already in the road test. According to the test vehicle, the length, width and height of modern MPV body are 5050* 1880* 1780mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 3000mm. In this way, Honda Odyssey, Hyundai MPV, Buick GL8 and Volkswagen Veroland form a four-step arrangement in terms of wheelbase and vehicle length. Different from Odyssey's consumption-oriented focus on household, the larger modern MPV is more business-oriented, but the modern brand is weak, so it is likely to adopt a more cost-effective pricing strategy. The estimated price is in the range of 200,000-230,000 yuan, which is obviously lower than Honda Odyssey and also lower than the old Buick GL8.
