Recently, Kia officially released more official pictures of the mid-term facelift K3 model, mainly showing some configuration information, giving consumers a very complete experience. At the same time, there are also news that the car will be officially launched within this year.
In terms of appearance, the new car has undergone very large modifications in the front face, and has cancelled the old model inexplicably looks like JAC 's special polygonal big mouth style. However, it is actually not exactly the same as the overseas version, and is closer to the new K5 model. The flat black center grille is wider and thicker, and the flat headlight group with upturned on the left and right sides also has a more advanced daytime running light strip inside, showing a stronger sense of technology. The three-stage hollow decoration of the front bumper takes into account both sportiness and layering, and it should be said that the design is more refined and mature than the old models.
On the side of the car body, of course, the new car will not change much, and it still maintains its iconic lines, and the overall look compact and fashionable. At the rear of the car, the taillights of the new car still retain the through-type structure, but the internal light source adopts a brand new treatment, not only has a two-color style with red on the top and white on the bottom, but the shape of the light strip is simpler, and the sense of technology does not decrease but increases. Then the bumper part has a through-type ring decoration. I believe consumers in the Shibo Tuo industry must be very familiar with it. The two are basically the same, but the more exaggerated diffusers and other details are added to show the positioning of the movement.
In the interior, the new car has not changed much. It still adopts the iconic floating large-size LCD screen design concept, but in terms of details, the more refined gear lever shape is replaced, and the air conditioning control area has also been remade, and the sense of technology has been slightly improved. In terms of configuration, the new car is equipped with a 10.25-inch full LCD instrument panel and a floating large screen to form a dual-screen system. The instrument panel comes with three display themes, which can automatically change the background image according to weather and time, and support OTA to upgrade in the air, with an excellent sense of technology and visual experience.
On this basis, the entire new car series is equipped with six airbags and reversing guide lights, and the reversing image also has a 1-megapixel high-definition camera, four-door one-click lifting, speed sensing automatic locking, independent digital display tire pressure monitoring and other configurations will not be absent. In addition, the car will also provide an L2+-class assisted driving safety system that is not common in joint venture models of the same level, with several times the 11 auxiliary functions, which are quite exciting.
New car also supports Bluetooth key, remote control, and has comfortable configurations such as front seat ventilation and heating, dual-zone voice recognition and even voice memo functions, further convenient for consumers. In terms of power, the new car will be equipped with a standard 1.5L naturally aspirated and 1.4T engine, powertrain with CVT gearbox and 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox, both equipped with ISG engine intelligent start-stop function, of which the maximum power of the 1.4T version has slightly increased to 140 horsepower, which has better power responsiveness. More information about the final price of the new car needs to be further announced by the official. What kind of performance will be performed in the future is worth looking forward to.
