At the moment, in fact, the launch of many B-class cars we will be shocked by its price, Ford Mondeo is definitely a one, Versailles C5 X the price is also good. But now I ask, who brought up the ethos of selling B-Class cars at the price of an A-Class car? There is no doubt that I will point the finger at the Korean brand, and now this Korean B-class car seems to be more worthy of our purchase today, it is Kia's new K5 Kaiku.
As a brand new model launched in 20 years, the new K5 Kaiku can be regarded as a pioneer of the Korean sedan wanting to re-establish its name, sharp and sharp sports modeling, just as a strategic product for young consumers, so that it suddenly returned to the first-line market that consumers pay attention to, after the launch, it immediately returned its monthly sales to the level of 4,000 units, and even to the store A car is difficult to find, of course, this is the time when it was just launched, the current K5 Kaiku monthly sales are not very ideal, Dealers have also gradually liberalized the offer, and the original price is not high, it is the most suitable time for consumers to start.
As a B-class car with the main appearance value, even if it has been launched for 2 years, it is still in the top of the market at the moment, the heartbeat-like daily running lamp shape, coupled with the forward tilting sense of swooping and the continuation of the domineering tiger whistle front face, extending the "Lingxi aesthetic design", the shape is enough to look flamboyant, but after all, it is not a new car, and we do not need to elaborate too many design points of view.
In terms of interior configuration, you can always trust Korean cars. Stunning 2 large screens completely broke our Korean car only to make a beautiful image of the shell, in addition to doing a good job, the functionality is also very sufficient, the front wireless charging, the rear USB port, the front radar and a set of rich driver assistance functions are available. In terms of car machine, K5 Kaiku also directly uses the intelligent interconnection 3.0 system jointly developed by Baidu and Kia, which has the function of internet of vehicles, comes with Baidu map and QQ music, etc. In terms of system, I believe that no joint venture brand has done better than the Korean "direct take".
At the time of the launch of K5 Kaiku, in fact, manufacturers advocated the main promotion of 1.5T models, and its capacity distribution even reached 70%, Compared with the 2.0T version, in fact, this set of 1.5T follows more black technology, although the data is not as good as 2.0T, but the horsepower of 170 horses plus the peak torque of 253 Nm, plus the addition of SMART mode, according to the driver's operation, automatically adjust the power output state of the vehicle, so both fuel economy and power level can give people enough surprises, especially the output of low torque will be very good.
In terms of chassis, in fact, this generation of Kaiku has changed everyone's influence on Korean cars, with a very big improvement, first of all, the hardware is still the setting of the former McPherson after the multi-link that we are more familiar with, and the suspension tuning is more tenacious than in the past, and the sense of heaviness is very strong, which is also one of the "high-grade" feelings of the B-class cars that we like very much in the past. And because of the uneven distribution of orders, the preferential margin of the 1.5T model will be slightly greater than that of the 2.0T model, but whether this is actually the case depends on the inventory of your local dealer.
There is no doubt that relying on the difference positioning of youth, cost-effective competitive strategy, the new K5 Kaiku has achieved stage success both in terms of appearance and hard power, but I don't know if it is the problem of follow-up publicity, the current monthly sales decline of Kaiku is really quite serious, and because of this, the price has been loosened by about 20,000 yuan, for a car that was not originally priced high, its current price is actually very competitive.
