Hello, everyone, I am Hongtao Shuoche.
Speaking of Korean Kia Motors, they once achieved very good sales results in the Chinese market. However, with the rise of domestically produced cars and the falling prices of German and American cars, Kia Motors' advantages have become smaller and smaller. But it is undeniable that Kia cars have the advantages of economy and durability. Today Hongtao will talk about the Kia K3 sedan to see what its advantages and disadvantages are. How is it used as a home car?
The price range of Kia K3 is 109,800-131,800 yuan. Hongtao wants to introduce the 2021 facelifted 1.5L CVT fashion version with 114,800 yuan. Currently, there is a discount of about 17,000 yuan in 4S stores (different regions, the intensity of discounts There are differences), the actual transaction price is relatively affordable among joint venture brand compact cars.
In terms of appearance, the front of the car is relatively flat and low-lying. The front face adopts a polygonal air intake grille, and the interior is filled with straight waterfall chrome plating. It is paired with sharp and fierce LED headlights. It looks somewhat similar to the design of Maserati . Therefore, some netizens call it "Masala K". Haha, the lightning-shaped LED daytime running lights are very eye-catching when they light up.
In terms of size, the length, width and height of the vehicle are 4660*1780*1450mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2700mm. The design of the side shape of the body is a bit ordinary, but it is simple and attractive enough. The 17-inch multi-spoke two-color wheels are exquisite in style.
adopts a through-type taillight design. The lighting effect echoes the headlights. Below is a diffuser-style surround and a chrome decorative mouth. The real exhaust pipe is hidden under the car.
As for the interior, the center console is rich in layers. The two circular air-conditioning outlets on the left and right are distinctive. The all-black interior is very resistant to dirt. The appropriate amount of chrome-plated materials adds a sense of sophistication, but you can touch more hard materials in the cabin. Plastic, the new car smell is a bit strong, it will be much better if you open the windows for ventilation for a while.
Kia K3 2021 facelift 1.5L CVT fashion version is equipped with main and passenger airbags, front side airbags, tire pressure display, ESP body stability system, reversing radar, reversing image, cruise control, sports and economy modes, automatic parking , uphill assist, electric sunroof, keyless entry and start, 7-inch LCD instrument, 10.25-inch touch LCD screen, etc. However, the car system functions are a bit limited, and the plastic multi-function steering wheel has an average grip. We can It won’t cost much to sew a genuine leather one later.
In terms of space, an experiencer who is 1.76 meters tall is sitting in the back row. The leg space is about 1 fist and 4 fingers apart, and the head space is nearly 4 fingers. There is no feeling of oppression. The seat padding is relatively sufficient and the cushions are sufficient. It is long enough and can provide good support for the body and thighs, but if three adults are seated in the back row, the lateral space will be slightly insufficient.
In terms of power, it is equipped with a four-cylinder 1.5L naturally aspirated engine with a maximum power of 115 horsepower. It is matched with a simulated 8-speed CVT continuously variable transmission. The power output is smooth, and the throttle and brake feel are relatively linear. It feels very relaxed to drive, but the speed increase in the later stages will be a little slow. The measured average fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is around 6.5L-7.7L (road conditions and driving habits are different, and everyone's fuel consumption results are different).
As for the chassis, it adopts front MacPherson and rear torsion beam non-independent suspension . When driving in urban road conditions, the vibration filtering performance of the chassis is acceptable, but when passing through speed bumps and encountering potholes and bad roads, You can feel that the suspension is a bit stiff and the rear passengers will feel bumpy. After the vehicle speed exceeds 90, the tire noise and wind noise are a bit louder.
