India's special version of Kia, the temperament is similar to Wuling Hongguang, gasoline and diesel, take the people-friendly route
There are always people who compare India to China, this idea is inappropriate, take the automobile market, The size of India's population is indeed very optimistic, but the level of automobile consumption is significantly worse than that of China. Now the Indian automobile consumer market is more like China 20 years ago, private car consumption is biased towards pragmatism, just like when domestic consumers were willing to choose Suzuki Big Dipper and Alto, the most successful sales in the Current Indian market is Suzuki Motors, consumers do not want face, but to spend less money and do more, can shelter from the wind and rain and save fuel, it is best to have more seats. In the face of such market demand, many manufacturers will develop special versions for the Indian market, and recently Kia released a new carens in India.
If this car is compared with domestic models, the most similar to Wuling Hongguang is the appearance design is not a traditional car nor an SUV, more like the low-end MPV of Wuling Hongguang. The details do maintain kia's family design, with a new logo on the front, LED matrix headlights on both sides, a swing door design on the sides, and a high recognition of the tail penetrating lights.
Although the contour size of the whole car is not large, but the limit shortens the front and rear overhangs, resulting in a long wheelbase of 2760mm, so this Kia carens directly offers two options in the Indian market, 6-seat version and 7-seat version, in order to improve practicality, such as for two-child families or three-child families, this three-row seat design is very attractive.
After opening the door, it does not feel cheap, the materials and technology configuration of The Korean car are in place, and the LCD instrument and the suspension navigation screen are provided on the central control table, which is definitely more sincere than Suzuki in the Indian market. The seats are made entirely of leather, and even have a punch-and-sew process. Although it is slightly inconvenient to enter the 3rd row, the space performance is really good, especially the last row of legroom is suitable for adults.
The power configuration is quite abundant, the gasoline version is available in 1.5L and 1.4T, and if you want a diesel version, there is also a 1.5-liter displacement diesel engine with a 6-speed atbox. Such a power configuration is not high performance, but there is no problem with daily household use, and the key will be very fuel-efficient.
At present, the new Kia carens model in the Indian market pre-sale started at about 1.2 million rupees, which translates to more than 100,000 yuan, which is indeed more expensive than those Suzuki cars, but the use space is obviously much larger, suitable for the consumption upgrade of ordinary Indian families. In fact, if this car controls the cost, the introduction of the domestic market will also have good demand, such as the price of about 100,000, providing mainstream engines, with mainstream technology configurations, the competition Wuling Capgemini will have a chance of winning, because compared to Kia Jawa is close enough to the people.
