As a popular model in the domestic MPV market, Odyssey’s excellent performance in terms of space size and riding experience has made it always have a good reputation, but the relatively high price has also discouraged many families. As more and more car companies deepen their efforts in the MPV market, many MPVs with excellent comprehensive performance have emerged on the market.

Among them, Kusto, which is positioned as a high-quality home MPV, is very friendly to families with regular budgets but pursuing high quality. Especially in the third row of space, Kusto is remarkable in terms of space, riding experience and functional configuration. So, in the higher-positioned and more expensive Odyssey, does the three-row space of Kustu stand the test? Let’s compare and see who knows more about Chinese families.

Compared with the three rows of space, Kusto is more calm
The deep-rooted family concept makes the Chinese people have a high pursuit of the interior space of the car, which has also led to many models in the local market having extended versions. The reason is because when Chinese people buy cars, “big” is the core. Speaking of Kustu and Odyssey, the third row space of these two models, in fact, the head and legs are spacious enough, and adults with a height of 180cm sit on the third row of seats, almost do not feel the sense of oppression, let alone the petite old people and children.
The difference is best reflected in the shoulder width of the third row space. Limited by the width of the body, the Odyssey’s third-row space is not as wide as the Kutus, giving passengers 27mm less shoulder width, and the third-row three-person experience of the Kustu has wider lateral space. The most intuitive embodiment of this gap is that three adults with a slightly stronger body sit together, and if it is an odyssey, it will appear slightly crowded, and Kusto will appear more calm.
Compared with the three-row configuration, Kusto is more thoughtful
When traveling or commuting as a family, they often listen to music broadcasts on the road to avoid the environment in the car being too quiet and depressing, but it also makes the communication between the front and rear seats more laborious. At this time, Kustu’s rear-seat dialogue mode can come in handy, the front microphone can collect the voice of the first row of passengers and the driver, and then it is emitted by the rear seat speaker, which is convenient for it to communicate with the rear passengers, which not only greatly improves the safety of driving, but also improves the convenience of barrier-free communication between the front and rear seats.
In addition, Kusto also provides a rear seat mute function, which can independently adjust the volume of the front and rear speakers, ensuring that the front passengers can clearly listen to the music broadcast without affecting the rest of the rear passengers; Most people like to play with their mobile phones while riding in the car, and the USB charging port in the third row of Kustu can charge electronic devices such as mobile phones for passengers in the third row.
The comfort of the three rows contrasts, and the Kustu is more detailed
In addition to convenience, Odyssey and Kusto also have a significant difference in comfort in the third row. As the saying goes, the palms and backs of the hands are meat, and whether it is an old man or a child, who sits in the third row, he must be comforted. The problem with Odyssey is that although the third row of space adopts the “magic seat” design scheme, due to the limitation of the trunk, the thickness of the third row of seats is relatively thin, resulting in poor overall comfort, while Kusto due to the overall space planning is more reasonable, the third row of seats is relatively thicker, soft, wrapped, and supported.
Moreover, the operation of folding the third row of seats of the Odyssey to full level is more complicated, you need to read the manual carefully, strictly follow each step, the experience is not too friendly at the beginning, and Kusto only needs to pull the drawstring of the backrest to achieve flattening, the operation is simple and convenient.
In addition, the third exhaust outlet of the Odyssey air conditioner can only adjust the size and angle, while Kusto can achieve a non-sensory soft wind to avoid the risk of cold for the elderly and children by direct blowing; Odyssey designs the third row of storage, only reserving a single cup holder on both sides, while Kusto has a double side storage slot + cup holder, which can take into account the placement of tea cups and drinks for the elderly and children, and the storage of other belongings.
It is worth mentioning that the Odyssey is equipped with a PM2.5 air purifier, although it can filter most of the dust particles in the car, but the effect is still not as good as Kusto’s PM1.0 air conditioning filter, better filtration effect, for families in Beijing, Guangzhou and other first-tier cities, it can undoubtedly greatly reduce the probability of the elderly and children suffering from respiratory diseases. It can be seen that the comfortable and convenient configuration of the third row of Kusto takes into account the needs of the elderly and children, not only has health care and comfortable riding design, but also has more convenient storage and storage.
As two models with different prices and design concepts, it can be seen that Odyssey and Kusto have different emphases in the functional configuration of the third row space. Although Odyssey is now positioned as a home MPV, it has to take into account some business reception needs, thus compromising the comfort and configuration of the third row space. As a high-quality household MPV, Kusto naturally needs to consider and take into account the convenience and comfort of all passengers.
