Under the trend of the second tire becoming the "standard" and the three tires being released, many families have made different choices in terms of car demand, and in the early days, the family-based car selection, the preferred model is basically an SUV, or a car, but now many families will also include MPV in the alternative list when choosing a car. Indeed, the advantage of MPV is that the 7-seat SUV and sedan can not be compared, especially the family travel, but the MPV model type is not as rich as SUVs and cars, leaving aside the business level can choose even less, many people may first think of the Honda Odyssey. Odyssey has been in the country for a long time, and the car is really good, but when you think of home, you always feel that this car lacks a temperature. In contrast, Kia Kahua, which was born in 1998, is much more at home than the Odyssey, Kia Kahua as a global model, has achieved good sales in many countries, and since 2004, Kia Kahua has entered the country, on the generation of Kia Kahua is not worse than the Odyssey, so Kia Kahua will be more pleasing to consumers at the household level than its peers.
Kia Jawa – better able to meet the needs of family cars
Measuring the quality of a car is not simply through the brand, it needs to be comprehensively analyzed from a series of factors such as power, luxury atmosphere, and configuration. Take the technology configuration, although the blind stacking of technology configurations on a car looks very cool, when it is really applied, some configurations are useless, and even from the day of buying the car, some configurations have not been used. In terms of technology configuration, it is the most important thing to meet the actual needs, and the following is to compare the technology configuration of the fourth generation of Jawa and Odyssey.
In addition to these configurations, the fourth generation of Jawa also comes standard with 12.3-inch dual screen, BLE mobile phone Bluetooth key, Baidu intelligent interconnection system 3.0 + Kia's new car networking service "Kia Connect" and other functions, to achieve "IOT car home interconnection", and the car machine system functions are more abundant than Odyssey.
The fourth generation of Jawa in the body size is much larger than the Odyssey, like this body length of more than 5 meters, the width of the car nearly 2 meters of the car, when you drive it will have a sense of distance from the rear personnel, Jawa to solve this problem is very clever, and will not be like the Odyssey, in the front of the roof to add a convex lens, but the same level of unique rear dialogue mode, rear visual function, rear quiet mode.
Here are two configurations, when you want to communicate with the rear passengers, you only need to open the dialogue mode to communicate, and the front and rear rows have radio functions, and the sound will be clearer. If you want to know the situation in the rear, you don't need to look back, just turn on the visual function, and the rear roof camera will pass the picture to the central control screen. The fourth generation of Jawa also has many rare configurations of the same level, such as the standard three-zone automatic air conditioning with air purification function of the whole series of models, and the only one at the same price level equipped with THE KRELL high-end audio system (12 speakers), 7 USB interfaces, welcome lights, the whole series is equipped with intelligent anti-pinch double-sided electric sliding doors, intelligent electric tailgates, and the standard SBW electronic knob shift and paddle shifters are standard, which is more convenient than the Odyssey button type in use.
Ride space comparison
Although Odyssey has the title of space magician, but in front of the fourth generation of Jawa Odyssey space advantage is not very obvious, first of all, in terms of positioning, Kia Jawa belongs to medium and large MPV, and Odyssey belongs to medium-sized MPV, the two cars have a big gap in body size, space in terms of the fourth generation of Jawa can be described by the word "luxury", thanks to Kia's global modular third-generation i-GMP technology platform, The fourth generation of Jawa has created a high utilization rate of interior space in the car with a more reasonable layout and the advantage of short front suspension.
The focus of the MPV is on the second row, especially the second row of seats. Odyssey second row seat comfort has been very good, but limited by the body size, Odyssey second row seat left and right adjustment range is not very large, which makes the middle to the third row of aisles very narrow, the fourth generation of Jawa with the advantage of body size in this regard is very good performance, the second row of seats forward and backward movement is greater, left and right movement also makes the middle aisle more spacious, to the third row of passengers to get on and off the car to provide convenience. From this point of view, it can be seen that the fourth generation of Jawa takes care of the entire passengers in the car, and does not only take care of the second and front row passengers like Odyssey.
Honda Odyssey in the mid-term redesign, although the whole car uses double-layer laminated glass, but in the actual performance of the NVH is not as good as the fourth generation of Jawa, the fourth generation of Jawa in addition to the front row of the use of double-layer laminated glass, in the front partition, fender, fender wall, fender plate, fender plate, central channel, central bottom plate bottom cover, neck plate, rear panel dustproof, etc., the application of the highest level of sound absorbing materials, effectively improve the comfort of driving and ride and improve the NVH of the vehicle, to create a safer for users, A more comfortable driving experience.
The fourth generation of Jawa storage space is also particularly large, the first row: the central armrest box provides 2 cup holders, door panel storage slots, glove boxes, 3 USB interfaces, two seats behind the USB charging port and double storage bags for the second row of passengers, the position is more ergonomic. Second row: The central front is equipped with a central double-decker storage box at your fingertips, like a magic space, which not only provides cup holders and tray functions for passengers in the second row, but also makes the central double-layer storage box more practical. The third row: provides a wealth of cup holders, storage compartments and left and right TWO USB charging ports and left and right air conditioning outlets, for the rear passengers to bring a more luxurious humanized space experience, the trunk space is also a part of the can not be ignored, especially when the family travels the trunk space is also very important, Kia Jawa in the case of not putting down the rear seat, the trunk can put down 4 26-inch suitcases, Odyssey is barely able to put down a 20-inch suitcase and a 28-inch suitcase.
The fourth generation of Jawa security configuration is the benchmark of the same level
Active and passive safety configuration is the current purchase of the car is more important points, first talk about the Honda Odyssey, Odyssey in the active safety configuration has done quite well, but compared with the fourth generation of Jawa lack of parallel assistance, fatigue driving reminder, etc., in addition to the fourth generation of Jawa equipped with L2 + level intelligent driving assistance system, equipped with the same level of models rare MCB multiple collision avoidance assistance, RCCA rear cross collision assistance, ROA rear passenger forgetting reminder, SEA safe get off the car assist, etc. The following focuses on the two configurations of ROA and SEA, ROA rear passengers forget to remind, when the driver gets off the car if there is a pet in the car, or when the child, the vehicle will issue a prompt tone to remind the driver; and SEA safe get off the car assist, more thoughtful, after opening, the vehicle will perceive whether the rear is safe, in the absence of passing vehicles and other dangers, the door will automatically open, so as to avoid the danger of the car behind the door when the door is opened. While digging into the details of the car, Kia Jawa also provides users with a meticulous travel safety experience.
Passive safety is equally outstanding in the fourth generation of Jawa, especially for MPV models weighing 2 tons. Just mentioned above, the fourth generation of Jawa is based on Kia's global modular third-generation i-GMP technology platform to build a body, the whole vehicle uses 14 hot stamped (150K) steel plates and a large number of 3rd generation and 150K cold-rolled steel plates, and the body uses impact dispersion structure structure, front multi-skeleton structure design, front side double component structure design, to achieve high rigidity structural design. At the same time, the i-GMP platform improves the body layout to optimize its own weight and improve the stability of handling. In addition, the whole series is equipped with 7 airbags as standard, and the two or three rows have ISOFIX interfaces.
summary
The fourth generation of Jawa as a global high-end MPV model, in the technology configuration, safety configuration, luxury atmosphere have shown you the strength, especially now more important intelligent configuration, in the driving can provide strong convenience and practicality, and the fourth generation of Jawa's car machine has also been adjusted for the local market, and Baidu in-depth cooperation with the intelligent car machine, let people interact more handy, while the fourth generation of Jawa L2+ level intelligent safe driving assistance system in the same level is also a rare configuration, combined with these configurations The fourth generation of Jiahua is not to say that compared with Odyssey, that is, compared with GL8 and Xena, the advantages are also very obvious, so from the perspective of product strength, the fourth generation of Jiahua does meet the price point of 300,000. In addition, it should be noted that although the fourth generation of Jawa is sold in Kia 4S stores, this car is CKD, which is in line with the tone of the fourth generation of Jawa. In the 300,000 MPV, both commercial and household, the fourth generation of Jawa is more suitable.
