With the liberalization of the Chinese policy, the MPV market positioning gradually shifted from commercial cars to family cars, for multi-family families, a competent medium-sized MPV is more suitable than a medium-sized SUV, so as a family car, high value, high power, high cost performance has become the first element of many people to buy a car, according to these requirements, we found a Kia Jawa, as the "shoulder bully" of the Korean car medium MVP, can Kia Jawa meet the needs of Chinese family cars? Let's take a look at it together.
Jawa is 5155 mm long, 1995 mm wide, wheelbase 3090 mm, vehicle maintenance mass of more than two tons, compared to the Medium MPV in the Buick GL8, the size is larger than a circle, but the price range is 288,900 yuan to 339,900 yuan, more cost-effective than the same level of Toyota Syner, American car Buick GL8 are more cost-effective, and Jawa in the appearance of the Korean car "cream student" feeling, because Kia Jawa has been sold in the North American market for many years, so the overall appearance design is like the American car, Using more linear design elements, the front of the car uses a large size grille, and installed a dot matrix chrome decoration, LED headlights around the chrome trim extends to the middle net, the appearance of the whole car is very rough, the roof luggage rack continues to the C pillar, expanding more storage space, the vehicle C pillar uses thick chrome decoration, so that the visual elements behind the whole car are more prominent and appear more stable.
Come to the car, the interior design is more layered, the center console adopts a square design, the functional areas of the whole car are layered obviously, the double 12.3-inch LCD instrument screen makes the front row driving experience great, the car machine and Baidu jointly launch online music, navigation, voice control and other functions, Kia Jawa's workmanship materials and luxury to race na or even Buick GL8 better, the seat uses leather punched configuration, riding is very comfortable, the most exquisite feeling is its shift area, The electronic rotary gear shift operation logic, coupled with the metal with threaded chrome decoration, makes the texture of the whole car very good, and the painted panel of the piano and two independent cup holders make the storage space and comfort of the whole car rise in a straight line.
In terms of configuration, Kia Jawa's entire series is standard with double-sided electric sliding doors and electric tailgates, but the ground clearance at the bottom of the car is more than 40 centimeters, which is not so convenient for the elderly with inconvenient legs and feet to get on and off the car, of course, the benefit is that the vehicle is more passable, and in the second row of seats, Jawa supports lateral adjustment, when the second row of seats is adjusted to the end, open a key vertical lying mode, with the seat back and leg rest lifted, the entire body can present an almost flat posture, and in other configurations, the conventional cup holder , storage space, charging port, air conditioning adjustment and other configurations, the second row can all be in place, in this level of MPV to do the medium upper, the overall comfort and configuration in the same level are very advantageous.
MPV compared to medium and large SUV, the biggest advantage is the third row of space, even if it is a medium and large SUV, after the second row of seats are adjusted, the third row is only able to use emergency, long-distance travel posture is not very good, and there is no storage space, Andia Jawa in the second row of seats to leave two fist distance, the third row can still maintain a distance of 1 to 2 fists, adults long-distance ride is not the slightest sense of restraint, and in the configuration, given lighting, armrests, cup holders and independent headrests, These configurations are not available on SUVs, and the vehicle has a separate hollow space under the trunk when the third row is fully loaded, and the loading capacity is also more advantageous.
In terms of power, Kia Regal is equipped with a 2.0T engine as standard, equipped with a transverse 8AT gearbox, the maximum horsepower of the vehicle is 233 horses, some people may question, for the MPV, there is no need to have a 2.0T engine, like Toyota Honda's hybrid system is more suitable, but this is not the case, the hybrid system has advantages in fuel saving, but in the medium and high speed re-acceleration ability, the 2.0T engine acceleration body feeling and action response, obviously more direct than the Japanese car, and at the driving level, due to the higher ground clearance of the vehicle, plus the window The lower attitude of the central control makes the sitting posture of the vehicle as a whole higher, which can provide a larger and wider field of view, and the suspension adjustment is very soft, which is the case in the full speed domain, of course, this design is insufficient in the continuous cornering, the lateral support of the whole car is insufficient, and it is also a small slot.
Conclusion: As a Korean car Kia Jawa that first landed in the North American market, while retaining the advantages of high value and high cost performance of Korean cars, it is equipped with a high-horsepower engine with a larger space and a higher configuration, so it is not worse than the same level of American and Japanese cars in the overall use experience, which is a very mature product.
