Hyundai Motor launched the large truck 'The New Xcient' on the 11th. This model is a product improvement model introduced for the first time in six years since the 'Xcient Pro' in 2019. It features a redesigned appearance at the new car level and advanced safety and convenience specifications that are highly preferred.
First of all, the design has greatly changed. Hyundai stated, "A cube-shaped mesh graphic is applied to the 'V' shaped radiator grille, and vertical chrome garnish creates a more grand and robust image," adding, "Block-shaped headlamps and a thin flat design made of aluminum for the new Hyundai emblem, along with a modern design new roof visor, provide a simple yet sophisticated feel."
Various advanced safety features have been applied for the comfort and safety of truck drivers while driving. A representative example is the front collision prevention assist function that can detect pedestrians and cyclists. In addition, ▲front and rear side collision warnings that alert of collision risks from obstacles in blind spots during low-speed driving ▲rear-side collision warnings that detect vehicles in the rear lane when changing lanes ▲intelligent headlamps have been newly equipped to enhance safety.
For a more comfortable driving experience, various driving convenience specifications are provided as basic, including ▲smart cruise control with a stop-and-go function ▲navigation-based smart cruise control ▲highway driving assistance ▲auto hold. However, these features do not apply if the manual transmission model is selected.
Additionally, Hyundai has applied shock absorbers with increased damping force to enhance ride quality and equipped a steering wheel steering force adjustment feature, allowing customers to choose between light and comfortable steering or firm and stable steering according to their preferences.
A Hyundai official noted, "The New Xcient is a model that perfectly evolves all the conditions required for a truck, from style to smartness," adding, "Based on the significantly improved marketability, it will be the best partner to elevate the quality of business."
