In the past 2021, due to the opening of the three-child policy and manufacturer publicity and other reasons, the MPV market has ushered in a wave of boom, so 2021 is also called the first year of MPV models by many domestic consumers. Compared with SUVs, MPV has more space, higher ride comfort, stronger loading capacity, and more emphasis on family, which can be said to be the first choice for home travel.
If toyota racing is the most "hot" MPV model in 2021; the GL8 proves what is called "your big brother or your big brother" with strength; trumpchi M8 defends the glory of its own brand; then Kia Kahua enters everyone's vision with a "down-to-earth" style - although the brand and model are very low-key, the actual performance is full of competitiveness.
There are currently four kia jawa models, with a guide price of 288,900-339,900. As a model that emphasizes home use, we will put safety and comfort first in most cases when choosing the configuration, so the luxury technology model with more comprehensive safety equipment (guide price: 299,900) and the flagship version (guide price: 339,900) will obviously perform more prominently; at the same time, the latter is better than the former in terms of comfort performance, leather seats and more comprehensive seat functions make the driving experience greatly improved. Therefore, for the safety and comfort of all the people in the car, do not hesitate to go directly to the top of the match!
Kia Kahua is arguably the most MPV-less MPV in terms of overall appearance. In the past, most of the MPV front faces we saw were designed into short and pointed shapes, with a boxy body, full of business atmosphere. Kia Jawa is more like an extended version of the SUV. The front face of the Kia family design gives the original huge body a little more sporty, and the design language that breaks the convention also makes people feel bright.
At the side angle, Kia Rea still combines the characteristics of SUVs and MPVs, the highlight of which is the silver highlight decoration behind the C-pillar, which improves the recognition of the entire car; the rear of the car uses the popular through-type taillight design. In terms of size, the length, width and height are 5155 * 1995 * 1795mm, the wheelbase is 3090mm, the luggage compartment volume is 1793L, and the size is large enough to ensure the comfort and loading capacity of the ride.
Inside the car, we can see that Kia Jawa is conservative in its choice of color schemes for the interior. The 12.3-inch central control screen and instrument cluster use the popular dual screen design. As a main family model, Kia Jawa did not choose to pursue the current popular technology or luxury in the design of the car, but emphasized pragmatism and pragmatism, which can be said to be suitable for all ages.
Since it is a car that focuses on practicality, Kia Jawa has a lot to say about the configuration. First of all, we can see that it retains a lot of physical buttons in the control area, including the sound system and the air conditioning system, etc., and the materialization of the commonly used keys eliminates the trouble of rummaging through the car machine system again and again, which can be said to be convenient and worry-free.
Secondly, Kia Kahua's car engine system is also a highlight of it, and the use experience of the entire car machine is quite silky and the computing speed is very fast. Although CarPlay is not supported, CarLife's smart interconnection performance is very eye-catching. As a traditional fuel model, Kia Kahua has such an eye-catching performance in the intelligent system, which can be said to be valuable.
。
Finally, as a top-of-the-line model, the performance of the flagship version in the rest of the configuration is not much more: comprehensive safety configuration, 360-degree panoramic image, heating and ventilation of the front two-seater, perfect rearview mirror function, etc., and its comprehensive configuration also gives Jawa the confidence to challenge the popular models.
As an MPV model, the front row configuration alone is not enough, and Kia Jawa's overall performance in the rear row is also good. The second row has independent microphone recognition and camera functions, making the communication between the rear and front rows more convenient; the second row of seats of the top model also supports heating and ventilation, and there are also a lot of storage compartments around the seats, whether it is comfort or convenience; the space in the third row, although decent, but fortunately, the seat comfort is good, and it is easy to find a comfortable sitting position, which is not a big problem for long commuting.
Kia Jawa's performance in the static part can be said to be remarkable, and then look at the performance of the dynamic aspect. At present, the full range of this model is equipped with a 2.0T 233 hp L4 engine, the maximum power is 171.4 kW, the maximum torque is 353N·m, and it matches the 8-speed manual transmission. Although the powertrain is not particularly eye-catching, but the actual driving experience is still very smooth, for daily use of power is enough, after all, it is not the main performance of the model, at the same time it also has L2 level driving assistance, do not worry too much about the car is too big to drive. In addition, although kia Jawa's curb weight is more than two tons, its NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption is only 7.8L/100km, and it only needs to be filled with No. 92 gasoline, which is still guaranteed for such a large car and the current rising oil price.
Editor's Comments:
For MPV in the price range of 300,000 yuan to 400,000 yuan, there are actually quite a few models that can be selected. You may ask, why not choose the Buick GL8 or Toyota Syna for the same price? In fact, in contrast, the gap between these three models is not particularly large: GL8, as the MPV that has won the top sales for many years, its product strength is naturally guaranteed; Xena benefits from Toyota's hybrid system, and there will be no small advantage in fuel consumption and driving experience. And The performance of Kia Jawa in all aspects is more balanced, and its comprehensive strength is not weaker than the first two. In fact, for a brand like Kia and a car like Kia Jawa, when we will use it to compare with the Buick GL8 and Toyota Syna, we have subconsciously recognized its product power.
On the whole, Kia Jawa's flagship version is a real "hexagonal warrior": rich in configuration, stable power, comfortable driving, and worry-free use of the car... The price of 339,900 can also be said to have spent every penny on the blade. When we are pursuing a pure household MPV, the appeal for practicality, cost performance and safety must be superior to a series of factors such as brand and power, after all, the tool attributes of such a car are far greater than other attributes, not to mention that Kia Jawa itself is still a quite personalized choice. So, if you're not willing to go with the flow, or if you're a pragmatic consumer, then Kia Jawa Ultimate would be a very good choice.
