The car is not only a means of transportation, but also a symbol of intelligent technology and quality of life. In this context, Kia Motors has launched two special edition models of the new K3 - Comfort Premium Edition and Luxury Smart Edition, with official retail prices of 114,400 yuan and 124,900 yuan respectively.
At the same time, Kia Motors has also launched a limited-time preferential policy, and now you can enjoy a direct drop of 29,000 yuan in cash, a financial discount of up to 8,000 yuan, and free basic maintenance materials for 5 years and 5 times.
In the increasingly fierce competition in the automobile market, every product upgrade is a comprehensive test of brand strength and cost control ability, but Kia is not afraid. The two new special edition models have been upgraded from the inside to the outside while inheriting the classic quality of the K3.
Compared with the old model, the new Kia K3 Comfort Premium Edition has added 7 new comfort configurations, including front and rear parking radar, leather seats, one-button start, smart key, electric sunroof, heated exterior mirrors and electric folding, which can be called the "best comfortable joint venture sedan" at the same price.
The new K3 Deluxe Smart Edition adds more than a dozen class-leading L2 intelligent driving functions such as intelligent cruise control, highway driving assistance, and forward collision avoidance assistance, as well as a variety of cockpit interaction functions such as dual-tone recognition function for the main and co-pilot, voice memo, valet mode and rear seat silent mode.
On the basis of preferential prices, Kia's new K3 not only has not been reduced in hardware, but also made huge upgrades in intelligence, making it almost difficult to meet opponents in the same class.
Compared with the Hyundai Elantra in the same price range, the new Kia K3 Special Edition is relatively richer in terms of configuration. Taking the Kia new K3 1.5L CVT Luxury Premium Edition and the Hyundai Elantra 1.5L CVT LUX Premium Edition as an example, compared with the 47L fuel tank of the Hyundai Elantra, the new Kia K3 fuel tank has a volume of 53L, a longer cruising range, and more functions such as seat lumbar support adjustment, rearview mirror heating, and mobile app remote control.
The new Kia K3 can remotely control the car with the mobile app, including door control, vehicle start, light control, air conditioning control, vehicle condition diagnosis, positioning and car search, etc., making daily car use more convenient. In rainy and snowy weather, the heated mirrors also make the journey safer and the view will not be obstructed.
In terms of intelligence, the new Kia K3 has more functions than the Hyundai Elantra such as BCA blind spot collision avoidance assist, SEW safe exit warning and RCCA rear cross collision avoidance assist.
The function of these functions is to help the owner detect the oncoming vehicle in the blind spot of the oblique rear vision of the vehicle when the vehicle changes lanes and drives out of the parking space, and warns to ensure driving safety; helps the passenger to identify the surrounding environment of the vehicle before he gets off the car, and prevents the occurrence of the situation such as "opening the door to kill"; and when the vehicle reverses out of the garage, quickly identifies the vehicle passing in the vertical direction of the vehicle, and quickly issues a warning to prevent collision.
Each of these is a risk that is difficult for veteran drivers who have been driving for many years to completely avoid, and Kia's new K3 chooses to use intelligent technology to solve these problems.
In addition to the old rival Elantra, the Qin PLUS is also a strong competitor to Kia's new K3. Compared with this rising star, the new Kia K3 also wins with intelligent features.
Let's take the new Kia K3 1.5L CVT Luxury Premium Edition and Qin PLUS Honor Edition DM-i 120KM Excellence as examples. The new Kia K3 features a DAW driver fatigue reminder and HDA highway driver assistance features.
First of all, these two functions can monitor the driver's facial status at all times, and once the driver is found to be fatigued, it can quickly prompt and maximize driving safety. Secondly, for highway driving scenarios, Kia's new K3 can also realize high-end functions such as automatic lane change with lights on and automatic following, which can greatly alleviate driving fatigue and improve long-distance driving safety.
In addition, compared with Qin PLUS, Kia's new K3 also has tire pressure alarm and SEW safe exit warning functions, and the main and co-driver are equipped with vanity mirror lights, and the driver's seat is equipped with 10-way power-adjustable seats, and there is an extra spare tire.
As a sedan for family travel, the new Kia K3 fully takes into account the needs of female car owners for vanity mirrors, as well as the driver's requirements for seat comfort when the family travels long distances.
Since entering China in 2012, the Kia K3 has won the trust of more than one million Chinese consumers with its breakthrough aesthetic design, reliable and durable excellent quality, and high quality-to-price product value.
Kia Motors has once again demonstrated its deep strength in the compact car market and its determination to continue to innovate. The Comfort Premium Edition and the Luxury Smart Edition not only enrich consumers' choices, but also provide value-for-money choices for users who pursue an excellent driving experience.
From the addition of intelligent driver assistance systems to the upgraded comfort and convenience equipment, the new K3 Special Edition will undoubtedly become a breath of fresh air in the market, leading a new trend of family sedans.
