In recent years, the popularity of MPV models in the country can be said to be getting higher and higher, which is directly related to the improvement of people's living standards, since you can choose an MPV as a family car, it means that this is already the second car or even the third car, most of the choice to buy MPV The purpose is very simple is to be able to travel together for the whole family, and the 7-seater MPV is more comfortable than the 7-seat SUV utilization rate is also more comfortable, from the currently on sale MPV models to choose from the model is really not much, GL8 is the most familiar to everyone, However, the business attributes of this car are too strong, honda odyssey and Alexon space and body size are almost interesting, and there is only one Toyota Saina that can meet the requirements, but now buy Toyota Saina not only needs to increase the price, the current car also does not even have to wait until 2022 to pick up the car.
Is there really no MPV that can be satisfactory in all aspects and meet the family's needs, in fact, it is not that there is no but we all ignore a car, that is, Kia Kahua, Kia Kahua can be said to be a standard medium and large MPV, and like Toyota Saina is the MPV specially created for the US market, today let's talk about this Kia Kahua that is easy to be ignored by everyone.
What a car The Jawa is
Just mentioned above also mentioned that Ka Wah is a model for the U.S. market, this car in the United States sales are very good, Ka Wah in the country is not no one knows, understand the Ka Wah car people are actually not many, especially now the fourth generation of Ka Wah many people have high hopes for this car, think that this is a model that has enough strength and GL8 to compete with, but when this car is listed after the price is announced, the guidance price of 28.89-33.99 million makes many people feel that this car is expensive, In fact, many people's psychological expectations for this car should be 220,000 and GL8 land business class is similar, about this problem to the following will be said later.
Let's talk about the basic parameters of the Car, long 5155, width 1995, height 1795, wheelbase 3090mm, from the data point of view may feel that the medium and large MPV are basically in this size, but the wheelbase and width of the Jawa have to race that and GL8 large.
Why do you think Jiahua is expensive
The reason why most people will feel that Jiahua is expensive, this is from two aspects, first of all, the brand power, Kia as a Korean brand, aside from the vehicle itself, the brand power is indeed not as good as Toyota and Buick in the country, in addition, most people come into contact with Kia models are basically K3, K5, the older one also has a lion run, smart running these cars, for a long time will form an inherent idea that Kia does not have too high models, suddenly came a price of nearly 300,000 MPV, will make many people do not understand, Even if you tell them that this car was once built for the U.S. market, or a global model, and the sales volume in the U.S. is higher than that of the Toyota Senna, they don't think so that it's a high-priced Kia.
There is also a point is that Kia Kahua is currently in the Dongfeng Yueda Kia 4S store sales, the main reason is that there is no imported Kia 4S store in China, which and the previous import of Hyundai have all been withdrawn from the network, but Jiahua listed and can not not sell, so can only put this car into the existing Dongfeng Yueda Kia 4S store, which makes many people misunderstand that this is a joint venture car, if the strict Kia Kahua belongs to a CKD model, the approximate meaning of CKD is completely disassembled, Vehicles are still imported from abroad to introduce domestic, but before this need to break up the vehicle, and so on after entering the country, they are assembled into a vehicle for sale, in fact, the domestic Kia Jawa compared to the US version is used in addition to a 3.5L V6 engine and 8-seat layout, the difference is not very large, it is an original American MPV.
competitor
Kia Kahua's competitors can not get rid of Toyota Xena, first of all, from the popularity, Kia Ka Wah in the domestic popularity is not as high as Toyota Sai that high (before there is Toyota Alpha warm-up to pave the way), even if Sai Na is not domestic before, want to buy this car can also be imported through parallel, followed by brand reputation, Toyota to consumers to convey on the skin, reliable, durable, high retention rate, so look at Toyota Sai na is indeed a bit of indestructible feeling, but in fact Sai Na is not as good as it looks on the surface , especially the interior of this Syna, it is no problem to look at it with your eyes, but when you touch it, it is definitely different from what you think, there is a cheap plastic feeling everywhere, and even sometimes you will think that this is really a car of more than 300,000?
This point Of Kahua's interior workmanship is better than The Sena, at least it will not let you have the feeling of touching everywhere is plastic, in the interior luxury atmosphere to create a carnival also race that is much stronger, followed by the configuration, take the lowest two cars compared, Kia Kahua's configuration is higher than toyota Syna, especially the seat heating This is a more practical configuration in the north, Kahua not only has the front row and the rear row, but also the power part, Xena uses a 2.5L self-priming engine plus hybrid, this set of power in toyota other models has been very common, fuel economy is also very good, but for this size of MPV models sometimes power is really important, especially The PPV of The family is more domestic, when the whole family travels together, the vehicle is in the state of load, which is a great demand for power, if it is on the high speed will be more obvious, so if from the home point of view, Ka Wah will be more suitable.
Recommended configuration
Kia Jawa start configuration is really high, even the lowest configuration is enough, but if the family use angle is still recommended on the guidance price of 299,900 luxury technology type, compared with the minimum match more parallel assistance, 360 panoramic images, side blind area monitoring, reversing side warning, spend more than 10,000 to see the money seems to have no more configuration, to know that Jawa is a 5 meters long car, and the width is nearly 2 meters, if it is some narrower roads or parking spaces, these configurations become very practical.
If your budget is very sufficient, but also can not stand the price increase of the Xena, this kind of proposal directly on the top with the flagship version, although the flagship version although the guidance price of 339,900, but the configuration really has everything, take the top configuration than the 299,900 technology luxury version more steering wheel heating, leather seat, main driver seat electric adjustment, passenger seat height 4-way adjustment, front and rear seat ventilation, driver's seat memory, two-row seat leg rest adjustment, 12 speakers Qili audio, interior mood lights, exterior mirrors upside down, memory Through the configuration comparison, it can be seen that the configurations from many places are basically given to the second row, and they are some more practical configurations.
summary
For the Car, in addition to its own brand strength is relatively poor, the product strength of this car is not bad, and even some places are stronger than competitors, the reason why everyone is biased against this car or because of the preconceived concept, but also take toyota Xena, the history of this car and Kia Kahua were basically born in the same year, a 97 years a 98 years, two cars can also be said to be from the birth of the relationship of opposition, if you want to speak from a large aspect, Kia Jawa's sales or race that high a lot, Like Xena in the Japanese domestic market basic sales, and Jawa in the Korean local market sales are very good, the reason why Ka Wah can have this situation today is because Kia has basically focused on the U.S. market, this situation is not discriminated against, or because of various domestic policies, not only Kia Every car company will want to introduce its better models to domestic sales, but domestic regulations do not allow it, saying that these are not to say that Toyota Sai Na is not good, Kia Ka Wah must be good, From the perspective of product strength, these two cars are not bad, but Toyota's various mark-up behavior makes consumers feel a little disgusting, at present, Kia Jawa sales are very low, but this car can be said to be the highest heat in the domestic Kia model, sometimes afraid of not having no heat and scolding, but the most afraid of a car after the release of everyone does not have a little sound, fortunately, Whether it is online or consumers will compare with Toyota Sai na, this side shows that don't look at everyone's mouth and say not to buy Jawa, But in my heart, I still think that Jiahua is the benchmark model of Xena, and now the Kia brand belongs to the restructuring stage, but these have little to do with consumers, and sometimes the practical details of choosing a car, especially this kind of family MPV model, are the most important, and the brand power really does not need to be put first.
