The Hyundai Custo (Chinese: 现代库斯途; pinyin: Xiàndài Kùsītú) is a minivan manufactured by Hyundai through its Beijing Hyundai joint venture in China since 2021.[1][2][3] It is named after the French explorer and inventor, Jacques Cousteau.[4] In markets outside China, it is marketed as the Hyundai Custin.

Overview

The Custo is a seven-seater vehicle with a 2+2+3 interior configuration with captain's chairs for the second row. It shares design features with the Hyundai Tucson.[5] For the digital features, the Hyundai Custo adopts a floating center console and a 10.4-inch touchscreen arranged in a portrait mode and surrounded by a few touch-sensitive shortcut buttons.[6]
