We often say that the car that suits your life needs is the best car. For a world of two or a family of three, there are many options on the market. But for many friends who have a second child, the 5-seater model is beginning to become stretched, and MPV has become the target of additional purchases or exchanges.
One of the questions these friends ask me the most is: "What other car is worth recommending besides the GL8?" " Don't be too business, it has become a big demand for everyone to buy a home MPV.
Taking the opportunity to experience the new Kia Fourth Generation Jawa today, taking my life needs as an example, and talking to you about what kind of car is a competent daddy car? Maybe the fourth generation of Jawa is the car that best suits your life needs.
Mainly look at the temperament, the grandfather and the driver are separated by a car
Car selection needs to consider factors such as price, power, configuration, maintenance, etc., but in real life, the first step in buying a car is the eye rim. If you don't like it at first glance, how to recommend it later is futile.
In terms of appearance, the fourth generation of Jawa has obvious advantages. Even in the park parking lot where traffic is flowing, it is possible to focus on it at a glance in many models, and many tourists look back and wonder what kind of car it is during our shooting.
In fact, Ka Wah is no stranger to the Chinese market, as early as 2004, the first generation of Kia Ka Wah introduced the Chinese market. Born in the same era as Odyssey and Xena, it is also exported to North America, Europe, Australia and other markets.
The second generation of Jawa debuted at the 2005 Chicago Auto Show, divided into two wheelbases: VQ and VQ-R, which were imported into China. The safety features of this generation of Jawa are impressive, and in the 2006 IIHS National Highway Traffic Safety Administration selected the first "Golden Top Safety Choice", the second generation of Jawa became the only MPV model selected that year.
Three years after Griffin took the Kia K5 to complete the dunk on all-Star Weekend, the third-generation Kia Jawa was unveiled at the 2014 New York Auto Show, with a well-received Tiger Whistle front face led by guru Peter Cyrell, an element that was equally successful at Jawa.
The body size of the third generation of Jawa no longer distinguishes between long and short axles, and the body length exceeds 5.1 meters and the wheelbase exceeds 3 meters, ranking among the large MPV market. The more practical space and the more beautiful design make it highly acclaimed in the global market and enter more homes.
In 2021, our protagonist today's fourth generation of Jiahua was officially released in China, this generation of Jiahua was built in the third generation of i-GMP platform, its body ruler compared with the previous generation to further enhance, the length, width and height dimensions are: 5155 * 1995 * 1795mm, wheelbase reached 3090mm.
Along with the size of the improvement of the appearance, the fourth generation of Jiahua naturally has a kind of urban dad car temperament, to a large extent to avoid the young dads are mistaken for the embarrassment of commercial car drivers, whether you are a white-collar elite wearing a suit and tie, or a young guy wearing an AJ hoodie standing next to the car seems to complement each other.
This generation of Jawa adopts the latest cross-border aesthetic design concept, the newly designed grille and the projected LED headlights are integrated, and the horizontal split headlight design is more harmonious with the shape of the MPV.
Nowadays, many medium and large SUVs focus on the concept of large 7-seaters, but the actual experience is very different from the big seven-seater of MPV. In order to achieve both passability and practicality, the fourth generation of Jawa adopts a cutting-edge SUV-style body design concept, with a minimum ground clearance of 183mm close to the level of some urban SUVs.
The higher ground clearance gives the fourth generation of Jawa a good passability, so that the family can feel more at ease when they go on a bad road. At the same time, the chrome luggage rack designed by The original Car of Jiahua not only makes the body elements richer, but also gives the roof space more imagination space, whether it is installed with a roof tent or two surfboards, it seems to be completely inconsistent.
The C-pillar's delicate chrome trim panels are properly controlled, finding the perfect balance between slim and excessive, and becoming the finishing touch on the side of the body, allowing the design of the suspended roof to connect with the body body.
The chrome trim strips on the lower edge of the C-pillar trim panels extend all the way to the rear of the car, cleverly connected to the chrome trim strips on the tailgate. The decorative strip echoes the through-LED taillights at the rear of the car, and there is a halo lingering on the rear of the car both day and night, and the visual effect is particularly outstanding.
What can be seen should look good, and what can be touched should be easy to use
The good-looking appearance of the fourth generation of Jawa allows us to establish a good first impression, and the proportion of interior space that measures the excellence of an MPV is larger, and each row of space must stand the test.
One of the main differences between family MPV and commercial vehicles is the design of the front row, in the inherent impression, the focus of the MPV is on the rear row, ignoring the feelings of the front row driver. But the driver has changed from a driver to a grandfather, and the design and configuration of the front row have become more important. Sitting in the driver's seat of Jawa, the most fashionable elements and technological configurations at the moment can be seen, which can be said to be a grandfather taking care of his family, and Ava taking care of his father.
First of all, looking at the design, the dashboard area Jawa adopts the popular dual screen design, which is rich in functions and fashionable. The blackout eaves of the LCD instrument is well considered and friendly to the driver, and the instrument table can be clearly displayed at noon or at sunset to avoid strong light reflection.
The soft material on the upper part of the dashboard matches the light and shade of the wood grain trim below, the air conditioning outlet adopts a penetrating design, and the chrome decorative strips brighten the highlights of the front row, making the atmosphere of the whole vehicle more refined.
The center console adopts a knob-type gear shift mechanism, which is not only exquisite and easy to operate compared to the traditional gear lever design, whether it is to take the cup holder water bottle or the front storage compartment items will not interfere.
I've always had the idea that if you're looking for a comfortable rear space than competing with cars and SUVs in the back, it's better to use the MPV's four-seater mode to enjoy the luxury of space. In four-seat mode, Jawa's ride comfort is stronger than that of a D-class luxury car.
The fourth generation of Jawa standard equipped with intelligent anti-pinch double-sided electric sliding doors, sitting in the front row can operate the closure of the two sides of the door separately, outside the car can also control the door switch through the smart key.
Jawa's seats are covered in Nappa leather and feel delicate and soft. The 1 and 2 rows of seats are fully ventilated and heated, the second row of one-button high-end pressure relief seats are also equipped with electricly adjustable leg rests, the side windows are equipped with sunshades, and the overhead sunroof is openable, which is more practical than the beautiful but sun-protecting panoramic sunroof.
The second row of storage space of Jawa is very rich, the front row of the central armrest box hides a huge storage space that pulls back, the double-layer storage box is very practical in daily life, the children's toys and debris can be stored in the lower storage compartment, the upper cover can be placed in the mobile phone and other commonly used items, the seat back is designed with a charging interface, a net pocket and a hook, and the co-driver also designs the boss key, and the details are in place.
Coming to the third row, although the leg space is not as luxurious as the second row, the normal adult ride is still comfortable, and the comfort of a long journey of several hundred kilometers is completely acceptable. The third excludes the sunshades of the side windows, and the cup holders, charging interfaces and air conditioning outlets are configured on each side.
The fourth generation of Jawa still performed satisfactorily in the trunk space with a full load of 7 people, and the trunk had a one-arm depth sinking space, and it was effortless to put down 4 or 5 26-inch suitcases.
The third row of seats can be reclined in a 4/6 scale, allowing the seat to switch flexibly between 4 and 7 seats. The rear row is also designed with hooks and anchors for hanging net pockets, such as children's scooters and wheelchairs for the elderly can be folded and fixed directly on the rear floor.
The third row of seats can be folded into the grooves of the trunk, forming a flat space with the front floor, which is more than enough for even a move-style camping space.
Thanks to the lower floor height, carrying luggage is easier and it is pleasant to sit at the back of the car with a cup of coffee and take a break.
Comfort is more important than anything else, and the MPV can be used by contemporary scooters
In terms of driving experience, the fourth generation of Jawa is adjusted to balance and prefer comfort. In terms of power, the whole series adopts a 2.0T engine, with a maximum horsepower of 233 hp and a maximum torque of 353 Nm. Although the North American version of the 3.5-liter V6 engine is not provided due to emissions reasons, the 2.0T engine is more suitable for our life scenario, not only saving a car and boat tax cost every year, but also reducing daily fuel consumption.
As an MPV, the more important thing than power and handling is to drive well in the city. The fourth generation of Jawa sits in a high-altitude viewing angle, and is very relaxing with comfortable chassis tuning.
The fourth generation of Jawa is equipped with L2+ level driver assistance system as standard, and the commonly used adaptive cruise, lane keeping, and active braking functions are all equipped. Imagine a scenario where a dad ends a day's work and picks up his child stuck on the way home from the evening rush hour, these features can greatly relieve fatigue.
The hostess of the home does not have to worry about parking because she is driving an MPV, and the fourth generation of Jawa's SVM panoramic imaging system can comprehensively observe the surrounding environment, and the perspective can be switched separately between the panoramic and the surrounding perspective, at a glance.
In terms of safety, the 2022 Kia Rega continued its consistently excellent performance, receiving a high score from the Top Safety Pick in the IIHS test. In addition to the aforementioned series of active safety configurations, seven airbags are standard for passive safety.
In addition to these active and passive safety configurations, the fourth generation of Jawa is also equipped with a number of auxiliary safety functions, such as the ROA rear passenger forgetting reminder function. After the car is turned off and locked, when the ROA system detects that there are passengers in the back seat who are still in the car, the vehicle will inform the driver through flashing lights, alarm sounds, etc., and will send a prompt notification to the driver's mobile phone to avoid the situation where the child is trapped in the car.
Of course, in addition to these rigorous safety features, the fourth generation of Jawa also has many intimate practical features, such as the passenger view and passenger conversation function. When taking the baby out, the child will generally be arranged to sit in the back seat, and the driver will inevitably be distracted to look back at the child's state in order to take care of it, but this moment is most likely to cause safety hazards.
Passenger perspective just solves this problem, through the camera arranged on the second row of the roof, the driver can observe the rear screen in the LCD screen, and through the passenger conversation function, through the microphone and speaker of the second or third row of the roof, the sound of speaking is amplified, this configuration is very practical when driving at high speed with high wind noise, and the driver can clearly transmit the voice to the third row of passengers at a normal volume.
In addition, Jawa also offers a fun Easter egg function. Tap the "Sounds of Nature" function on the screen to play white noise ambient sounds such as running water, campfires, and rain. Don't underestimate this configuration, in a tired afternoon, sitting in the car blowing air conditioning, listening to the ambience of the birds of the empty mountain, sitting on the back seat for a nap, it is very healing.
After a day of in-depth experience, not only my grandfather who has a god beast, the boys in our team also praise Jiahua, although everyone drives a small sports car and a small steel cannon on weekdays, but the car accompanies our life not only on the sports side, when the family travels, we all hope that the family after the driver's seat can get better care, driving MPV travel is indeed a thing that can enhance happiness.
And with the gradual heating up of domestic camping culture, the MPV with large space and functions has gradually become the new favorite of camping players, whether it is a tent on the roof of the car or a mobile café in the back row, Jiahua is a good choice.
Just like Carnival, as long as it is full of love, life is a rich carnival paradise, so who can not love the all-powerful fourth generation of Carvera?
