Do you remember the Baojun 510 small SUV? When we also looked at the sales of the SUV market in 2021, we accidentally remembered this car, after all, its sales in the first two years were very terrible, and even the Haval H6 had to avoid its sharp edge. With its ultra-low price, many young consumers have their own first car in their lives, coupled with a fairly good design, there is no reason not to sell well. However, with the changes in the market, especially the joint venture brand has begun to seize the entry-level market, the day of Baojun 510 has begun to be sad, and the reliability is naturally not as convincing as the joint venture manufacturers, not to mention that there are no bright spots in configuration and power. So today we're going to talk about Yayi Run, a small SUV from the Korean camp.
First look at the price, at present, Kia Yipao has three models on sale, the official price range is 6.98-8.38 million yuan, and we asked the 4S store, but also gave a few thousand yuan or so of preferential strength, that is to say, choose the top version, you only need to prepare less than 80,000 naked car price, less than 100,000 is enough to drive it home. If you remember the price of Baojun 510, the high price of the two is completely consistent, so Kia Yipao's cost performance is quite outstanding. The model actually auctioned today is the 2021 model The 1.4L CVT sunroof model is mainly adjusted for the configuration.
Looking at the design part, Kia Edo looks like it has some special domestic meaning, but in fact it belongs to the standard global model, but it is named differently overseas. In terms of design, it is highly consistent with the overseas version, and the overall sense of fashion is still very prominent, especially the middle grid grid of the tiger whistle concept, which is also the most classic design language of the Kia brand, and there is no sense of obsolescence in the past so many years. Of course, Kia Yipao's listing time is not long, it belongs to the end of 2018 and you officially met, and now more than 3 years for the design level of this car company is in line with the mainstream aesthetic.
However, limited by the cost and positioning, the appearance configuration of Kia Yipao is not excellent, such as the headlight group has not been able to appear LED light source, just ordinary halogen + lens, and LED daily running lights are designed in front of the two sides, but can also bring good recognition.
As a standard small SUV, can Kia E-Run meet the space requirements? From the perspective of dimensional data, the length, width and height of 4100*1735*1533mm and the wheelbase of 2570mm should belong to the leading level in this level, so the space is basically guaranteed, and then it brings a fuller visual effect. Like the body proportion is more coordinated, the lines are more stretched, C-pillar wrapping design is also a rare style of the same level, fashion sense is no problem. The 16-inch two-tone wheels also fit the figure of Yi Run, and the rim style is quite sporty.
To the tail, the same emphasis on layering, black rear bracket height and style are just right, which also has silver trim and front face chrome decoration echo, so yi run positioning entry is true, Kia attaches great importance to it is also true. However, there is no surprise about the internal light source of the tail light group, the turn signal is halogen, but the width indication light and the brake light use a similar light band design, and the basic recognition can be guaranteed after lighting.
If the exterior design is still in line with expectations, then the atmosphere in the car is more important, because once the sense of technology meets expectations, it means that the appearance of Yipao belongs to the same level. From the perspective of the shape of the central console, it is basically a T-shaped layout, like an embedded 8-inch LCD screen, which also supports many interconnection functions, such as Baidu CarLife, Apple CarPlay and other basic entertainment experiences can be satisfied. In addition, the automatic air conditioning control panel, looks like a good sense of technology, with a full shape of the multi-functional steering wheel, although the dashboard is no surprise, but the daily home transportation does not seem cheap.
Briefly talk about other configurations, this model we test drove this time belongs to the top version, compared to the other two configurations, there are more front side airbags, front parking radar and cruise control and other safety features, in addition to the electric sunroof, which is in line with its model name of the practical function. But in addition, there is no surprise, automatic air conditioning is counted as one, rearview mirror heating can barely qualify, but see the top ratio is only 4,000 yuan more expensive, obviously still more cost-effective.
Spatially, we found a Baojun 510 owner this time, in the eyes of the same small SUV owner, what kind of rating will Kia Yipao have? First of all, the front seats are better wrapped and softer because the padding is thicker and the size guarantees its basic space. However, the practicality of the rear row, Yi Run will have obvious advantages, because the experiencer said that his Baojun 510 needs to remove the cushion to put down the back row, and Yi Run can be directly put down, coupled with the sitting posture design of Yi Run close to the car, the head space is close to two fists, and the legs are not worse than some entry-level compact SUVs.
Finally, the power combination, the current Edu all models are equipped with 1.4L engines, there will certainly be no surprises on the parameters, 73.6kW maximum power and 132N·m maximum torque, and then match the CVT gearbox, a look is the combination of partial urban transportation, which can bring lower fuel consumption and smoothness. However, remember that when Yipao was first listed, it was equipped with a 6AT gearbox, which is obviously more mature and reliable than this CVT, but compared to the competitive manual gear or AMT transmission, it is also enough to meet the needs of urban transportation.
Summary: In fact, kia brand over the years, in its entry-level models brought about a lot of surprises, Edot, as a small SUV with less than 100,000 at the top, its product strength is not worse than the domestic competitors at the same price, the key design is also quite interesting, and then there is excellent practicality, which is the best choice for young people's first SUV.
