Kia Motors is a global car company and has its presence in many parts of the world, but in the domestic automotive market, Kia's sales are not very good. Originally, Kia's new cars had good sales, but for some reason, the sales of Korean cars began to decline rapidly.
There was once a model that sold quite well, and this model was Kia's Freddy, a joint venture car with a very affordable price and low fuel consumption. But now it is almost impossible to see the figure of this car, it is worth mentioning that this car has not been discontinued, but the sales are not beautiful.
But Kia is obviously reluctant to give up this once star product, so a new generation of revamped Freddy has appeared. Although it has not yet been officially listed, but the overall design exposed is quite powerful, according to informed sources, the starting price of this Freddy is most likely the price of the current model, after all, the price has always been the absolute advantage of Korean cars. Considering the price of the new car, the price of the new generation of Freddy should be around 70,000.
From the perspective of appearance design, the overall design of the new generation of Freddy is quite sharp, compared with the current model, it is almost like two cars. The headlights adopt an eagle-eye shaped design, and a segmented LED light reinforcement design is carried out, and the lights on both sides are connected by a silver-gray intake net, and the visual sense is very good. Moreover, the movement of the front of the car also has a good aesthetic, creating a strong impact.
From the side, it is equipped with double-width sports wheels, and the windows are still directly exposed by black rubber strips, which does not enhance the sense of refinement. Conversely, its chrome door handles have been removed compared to the old model.
Freddy's tail is designed with a penetrating taillight design, and it is also equipped with a sports tail and a black diffuser. The overall design of this Freddy is actually more like a shrunken Kia K5 model, the appearance is very good, and it looks particularly sporty. With such a design, I think it can really impress young consumers.
The interior design of the new Freddy has also been exposed, and it is similar to the Kia mid-level car K5 Kaiku, with a hovering screen and symmetrical central control. In addition, a lot of chrome trim strips are also used for decoration, and the sense of appearance is improved a lot.
As for the power system, the new Freddy has been exposed, and I think it is more appropriate to describe the new Freddy with a shotgun for a gun. The original old Freddy has a displacement of 1.6L, and the new car is still 2.0L and 1.6T engines to choose from, but the introduction of the domestic power system is expected to retain 1.6L to reduce the price, and the currently disclosed gearbox is CVT and seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.
The appearance of the new Freddy, the upgrade of the power system is quite obvious, and the future does not rule out the use of new energy power system. If the price of this car remains low, I believe it will become a dark horse in the compact sedan market. It is believed that in the near future, this Freddy model will be quickly listed, so that the small partners will be feasted on. Why? Because there is really not much time left for Kia car companies.
