Preface: From the new models added to the MPV market in recent years, we can know that this market is undergoing a new round of activities. The increase in demand means that car companies need to start investing in new models to enter the market, and among these new models , there are old models that have been updated to improve competitiveness, and there are also brand-new models that are developed and launched for the first time. Of course, there is also a model that has been discontinued for many years and has been resumed. Therefore, it is the entry of these models into the market that further enhances the vitality of the MPV market. It shows that what we are going to introduce next is a brand new MPV model, manufactured in Korea and positioned in the mid- to low-end market of 150,000 yuan.
Aiming at the mid-to-low-end market, Kia is a new MPV with three powertrains, a wheelbase of 2780mm and 6 seats! I don’t know if you still remember a Korean MPV named Kia Jiale . It officially entered domestic sales 18 years ago. Although the sales period was not short, the sales volume has not been good, so I have seen the actual car on the road. There were very few people, and it was eventually discontinued and delisted due to sales pressure. It is true that the MPV market at that time was a niche market and the demand was not large. Now facing the market demand, the new generation of Jiale has been officially unveiled. The product strength of the vehicle has brought a lot of new ideas, and it is still positioned in the mid-to-low-end affordable market.
From a static point of view, the exterior design of the new Jiale is a completely new design language. The latest "Opposites United" design language can give people a good visual novelty, although the appearance advantage of Korean cars is no longer obvious. , but the novelty of the design elements still exists. The front air intake grille on the front face does not adopt a traditional design, and the upper part is a closed style and uses a black closed panel, while the lower part is the real front grille, with a black honeycomb decoration inside, so the overall movement is highlighted. The atmosphere is rich, but the headlight design is relatively simple, and it can be seen that it is a halogen light source.
Looking at the side, you can see that the new car is not an MPV in the traditional sense. The design is more inclined to an SUV structure, especially the rear door is a side door instead of a sliding door, and a circle of black is added around the body. The surrounding circle has a certain off-road atmosphere, but there is no strong new idea for other designs, so it still prefers tradition, and the wheel hub design pays more attention to the display of sporty atmosphere. The novelty of the rear is mainly concentrated in the design of the taillight group. The through-style style is relatively recognizable. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4540/1800/1700 mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2780 mm.
When entering the car, perhaps after getting used to the automobile market with excellent designs, the interior design of the new car will not cause strong waves. The main thing is that the simple design is mainly practical, and the yacht-style cockpit design The points are favorable, it has a more luxurious feel, and the materials used are mainly hard materials and soft materials. There are also some brightly colored decorative pieces that add texture. The size of the central control screen is relatively small, and the left and right lower parts are covered with physical buttons. This is relatively outdated, but the actual operational convenience is praised. The flat-bottomed three-spoke design steering wheel, paired with an LCD instrument panel, is normal. A set of combinations has good practicality.
Although the length of the new Jiale has certain limitations, the wheelbase has reached 2780mm, so the interior space is relatively ample. It provides a standard 2+2+3 7-seat arrangement, and also provides 6-seat options, so You can choose according to your needs. As you can see from the picture, the space in the second row is quite sufficient and can be satisfied for daily household use. However, the third row can only be used for emergency use, but it supports folding down completely to form a Considerable loading space, which is very practical.
Finally, in terms of power, the new Kia Jiale offers three power options at once, namely 1.5L self-aspirated, 1.4T turbo and 1.5T turbocharged engines, 1.5L naturally aspirated and 1.4T turbocharged engines, the maximum The output power is 115 horsepower and 140 horsepower, matched with a 6MT/7-speed dual-clutch transmission, and the power is sufficient for daily driving. A 1.5T turbocharged diesel version is also provided, and is matched with a 6AT transmission. This is a comparison It is attractive that diesel engines are used in MPVs. However, if the car is introduced into the country, it will most likely not have a diesel engine and will only be equipped with a gasoline engine. So what do you expect?
