Bitcar Original It just so happens that at this time last month I borrowed the cheapest 3.5L V6 large-displacement naturally aspirated SUV you can buy, the Hyundai Paristi. At that time, my evaluation of this car was "a warm-hearted man who cares about his family." Although it can't give you strong power, the smoothness brought by the large displacement self-priming, the 6-seater space layout, and the configuration specially considered for family members and the back row will make you feel like home. What I didn't expect was that the new Parisi entered the country so quickly, and pre-sales started, 300,800-388,800 yuan, so let's take a first look at the differences of this new model.
The car we actually photographed is called the Calligraphy version, and its Chinese name is Connoisseur, which can be understood as the top-end and luxury version of the car series. At the same time, this is also the first model sold in China, using a unique paint color. (Pre-sale price is 368,800-388,800 yuan)
In terms of appearance, the new Paristi has a lot of changes compared to the current model. First of all, the overall front of the car has a tougher shape, which is also the latest family-style design style of the Hyundai family. Among them, the connoisseur version adopts a large-area bright chrome-plated grille design, while other versions use blackened or brown grilles. At the same time, the size will be larger than the old model, and the shape will also have a square design.
The shape of the headlight group connected to the grille has also changed this time. Although it continues to use the split headlight structure, the shape has been slightly adjusted, so the front of the car still looks quite powerful.
Coming to the side of the body, the entire shape has not changed much. The body size refers to the current model of 4980×1975×1775mm, and the wheelbase has reached 2900mm. It is a very standard medium and large SUV.
In terms of wheels, the Connoisseur version provides brand-new 20-inch alloy wheels, which are shaped like an aircraft turbine and added with chrome plating, making the shape more attractive.
As for the rear of the car, the shape of the rear of the new Paris Di is not much different from that of the current model. The design is very simple and has no unnecessary content, but it can still present a very burly and solid style. However, the new Paristi has made adjustments to the taillight group. The exhaust below still uses a single-sided dual-outlet exhaust. I personally think that changing it to a bilateral single-outlet exhaust will be more in line with the current aesthetics.
Coming to the interior, the new Paristi is first of all home-style. In fact, the warmth and practicality can be seen just from the overall white seats and the orderly layout of physical buttons in the central control area. aheadAt the same time, it has been replaced with a new dual-LCD screen design, which is more technological than the old model.
The shape of the steering wheel has also been changed to a four-spoke multi-function steering wheel with paddle shifters. The instrument panel has also been upgraded this time, replacing it with a 12.3-inch full LCD instrument. Compared with the old pointer instrument, it has a more technological feel, and the display content and clarity are very good.
The size of the central control screen is also 12.3 inches. Although it is more refined and smooth than the old model, it still does not support many functions and does not look so cool. Fortunately, the UI design is relatively clear. The new Baidu application can provide different functions.
It is worth mentioning that the new Paristi has further taken care of the ride comfort of family members, especially rear seat users. The driver can adjust the rear seat heating and ventilation directly through the front central control screen. At the same time, if there are family members or children sleeping in the back seat, the rear mute function can be activated, and the music will only play in the front seat. Queue playback and all volumes will be automatically reduced. The rear-seat call function has been equipped on older models before, and it will continue to be equipped this time.
The bottom part of the central control screen is a place I liked very much on older models. First of all, in an era when there are fewer and fewer physical buttons, it is difficult to persist. First of all, the physical buttons are also useful for blind operation while driving. Very helpful. And the layout is very logical. The left side is a push-button shifting mechanism, and the right side is the buttons for driving mode adjustment, front seat heating/ventilation, and steering wheel heating. They are clearly listed.
In terms of seats, the Connoisseur Edition model can be said to be very comfortable in terms of comfort. It provides the Ergo Motion seat massage function for the main driver, and the front seats have zero-gravity technology, so you will not feel fatigued after riding for a long time. There is also a boss button and a USB charging port behind the co-pilot.
In terms of space, the height of the experiencer is 180cm. After adjusting the seat in the front row to the lowest position, there is enough space for the head to punch, which is relatively ample.
Coming to the back row, the actual model we shot is a six-seater version. The second row adopts an independent seat layout and has a central armrest. The Connoisseur version uses aviation-like wing headrests on the headrests. At the same time, there is a one-button tilting function under the seat and above the seat back, which is very convenient for entry and exit. The rear configuration is equipped with seat heating, ventilation, and automatic air conditioning.
Keep the front seat in the same sitting position and move to the back row, adjust the seat to the end.There is room for three fingers on the head and more than two fists on the legs, which can also ensure the travel of the whole family.
You can enter the third row by folding down the second row with one click. Although the head is hollowed out, the head of the 180cm-tall experiencer is still a little bumpy, but fortunately there is plenty of legroom. The new Paristi has also been upgraded for the third row, adding electric proportional folding of the third row seats, and supporting one-click restoration, which is very convenient. In addition, the connoisseur version is also equipped with a heating function for the third row of seats, which is also adjustable in three levels, which is thoughtful.
In terms of power, the current Parisi continues to use a 3.5L V6 naturally aspirated engine with a maximum power of 200kW and a peak torque of 336Nm. It is matched with an 8AT gearbox developed by Hyundai. Since there are no changes in power, the driving quality is expected to be no different from the old model. Although the displacement is large enough, the body is also large, and the whole vehicle has a smooth and comfortable driving style. At the same time, the four-wheel drive version will also provide multiple driving modes and terrain modes to cope with different road conditions. In terms of driving assistance functions, it comes standard with forward collision warning braking system, intelligent cruise control, highway driving assistance, automatic lane changing, multiple collision prevention systems, remote control intelligent parking assistance, etc.

Summary: Generally speaking, the new Paristi has little change in design, but it has made certain upgrades in terms of technology. But most of them are more sophisticated about family and travel. Although the Connoisseur version is launched this time with higher configurations, the price is still much higher than previous models. Therefore, the main models are still the other basic ordinary models. However, there are not many self-priming SUVs with such a large displacement that can be purchased nowadays, so the Paris Di will still have its place.
