Hyundai Custo gets registered in China

We have already seen a handful of spy shots showing Hyundai’s latest MPV for China, the Custo, and now the company has registered some patent images as well.

The minivan uses the same i-GMP N3 platform as the Hyundai Santa Cruz, Santa Fe, Sonata, Staria, and Tucson, as well as the Kia K5, K8, and Carnival. Its two petrol turbo-four engines come from the China-spec Sonata. The 1.5-liter option links to a seven-speed DCT box and produces 170 PS (168 hp / 125 kW) along with 253 Nm (187 lb-ft) of torque. The 2.0-liter one benefits from eight-speed automatic transmission and churns out 236 PS (233 hp / 174 kW) and 353 Nm (260 lb-ft) of torque. Top speed does not exceed 200 km/h (124 mph) in both cases, and fuel consumption averages out at 6.5 liters per 100 km.

The front fascia looks like that of the fourth-gen Tucson SUV or the upcoming Santa Cruz pickup. The body is 4,950 mm long, 1,850 mm wide and 1,734 mm tall with 3,055 mm between the axles. Tires measure 225/55 R18 all around. Curb weight varies between 1,685 and 1,712 kilograms depending on the equipment.

Like its close sibling Kia Carnival (see video), the Hyundai Custo pretends to be a crossvan, but the off-road body kit is purely for show, and the ground clearance is too small for country roads.

The cabin offers a 2+2+3 seating formula and has sliding doors in the back, as well as a two-section panoramic roof.

If Hyundai does not bring the Custo to the Auto Shanghai show starting in several days, it should still unveil the MPV sometime this year. Production will take place at the Beijing Hyundai factory. Once the minivan reaches the market in China, it will have to compete against the likes of the Buick GL8, Chrysler Pacifica, GAC M8, Honda Odyssey, and Roewe iMax8, among many others.
