For many young consumers, there are several difficulties in buying a car now, one is that they do not have much budget in their hands, they want a joint venture brand within 150,000, and they have design, configuration and space requirements for models, so how to choose? Fortunately, there are many models on sale in the domestic SUV market at present, even if it is a joint venture SUV camp that can be bought within 150,000, there are corresponding choices, such as the KX3 from Kia.
From the perspective of the guidance price, the new car 1088-136,800 yuan naturally meets the budget requirements, and the terminal has a good discount, so the top version of the naked car is basically within 120,000, does it highlight the only cost performance at the same level? Of course, KX3 Aopao is a small SUV, it wants to compete in the model of Jinke, XR-V and other Japanese veterans who are more familiar with it, so whether it can still ensure that the advantage is more important in terms of product strength, then today to the top with the 2021 Aopao 1.5L CVT all-round version as an example, let's see how its comprehensive performance is.
First of all, the design part, although the Kia KX3 is not a model that uses the latest family language, but when it was first listed, it was mainly based on a more personalized style, so it is not outdated after two years, after all, the new car is positioned for home. The front face design three-dimensional sense is good, the "facial features" are also eye-catching enough, minutes can let consumers and it on the eye, the ability to attract eyeballs is naturally there, and I think it is more pleasing to the eye than the latest family language, such as grilles and encirclement, there should be a sense of three-dimensionality, not bland and not obtrusive. Especially when you see the headlight groups on both sides, the full LED light source is one of the highlights, such as turn signals, LED daytime lights design is also exquisite enough, after lighting the recognition is also good.
As a standard small SUV, in fact, consumers will not be too high in size requirements, but Kia KX3 Isot is still as good as possible to achieve the best level, 4345 * 1800 * 1650mm of length, width and height and 2630mm wheelbase, in terms of data comparison, naturally slightly better than Jinke, Binzhi, barely comparable to some entry-level compact SUVs. Therefore, it is also a size advantage, so that the side of the car is more slender and coordinated, especially a waist line that runs through the body to enhance the aura, and provides a two-color body optional, coupled with a 17-inch bright-faced five-spoke wheel, the sense of fashion is also not lost to other competitors at the same price. Including the tail, the complex effect on the level creates an excellent sense of layering, of which the LED taillight group also echoes the headlights, and is also highly recognizable after lighting.
After entering the car, the design also belongs to the mainstream style, such as the double LCD screen of the center console, which is also a rare design and configuration for a joint venture SUV with a guidance price of just over 130,000 yuan, and it is natural to improve the atmosphere of science and technology in the car. Of course, KX3 Pride is not equipped with a full LCD instrument, even if it is the top model, it only provides a 7-inch LCD instrument, and the rest of the models are 3.5 inches, so with a 10.25-inch central control screen, at first glance it is not bad, and a closer look is still somewhat low-key. However, for most consumers, this price point can have these functions has been sincere enough, especially this time we test drive the top version, in fact, this 7-inch LCD instrument is quite complete.
For example, when driving every day, the information in the car is displayed enough, the interface design looks comfortable, and various prompt functions can impress you, for example. When you turn on the headlights or wiper lever operation, the LCD screen can be displayed, and when you want to leave the vehicle will remind you whether to carry mobile phones and other personal belongings, and when the turn signal, the picture captured by the side mirror camera can also be presented on this. As for the car machine system, the current basic interconnection experience can be satisfied, which is Kia's second-generation intelligent interconnection system, and the function naturally keeps up with the trend. At this time, coupled with the active and passive driving assistance configurations such as lane departure warning, active braking, adaptive cruise and panoramic image, there is no need to worry about practicality.
As for how the actual ride feels, first of all, the space is no problem, this time our test driver is about 1.8 meters tall, and belongs to a more robust body, sitting in the front row of the head performance is good, more than 1 punch space has both a wide field of view, but also enough excellent comfort. Then there is the rear row, to ensure that the front seat position is suitable, the space can also meet the needs of the family, of course, the leg space is no surprise, if it is a woman and a child is still spacious, it is estimated that the legs can be about 2-3 punches margin. However, it is commendable that Kia pays more attention to the softness of the KX3 Proud Running Seat, and the leather-clad seat is also embellished with red stitching, and the visual effect is more sporty.
Finally, looking at the power, the current full range of models are equipped with a 1.5L engine, matching the CVT gearbox, in terms of engine parameters, it is called a Buddhist combination, 100 km acceleration is not its strength, daily transportation economy is the key. NeDC's combined fuel consumption is only 5.4L/100km.
Summary: 150,000 budget to buy a joint venture SUV is not easy, but Kia Ao ran to do it, the top version only needs more than 130,000 to win, and the value is quite high, the configuration is more complete, the space and power are also not too big a problem, to achieve the mainstream level of this price. Therefore, this test drive, we think the new car is more worth recommending, especially for the first scooter for young consumers.
