The 270T model is enough. It is necessary for you to know these details of KIA K5 Kaiku.

As an NBA fan, am I right? Kia K5 first met in the slam dunk contest 20 1 1. After Griffin made a stunning jump, I just wanted to say, "* *, this car is really handsome." Indeed, in the slightly dull mid-size car market at that time, the extremely tense design style of Kia K5 broke our inherent knowledge of car design. At that time, whenever I saw KIA K5 in the street, I couldn't help but take a look. Times have changed. With the gradual efforts of competitors, the competitiveness of Kia K5 in the market has been greatly reduced. Even the face value that I was proud of at that time now looks a bit greasy. However, the emergence of a new generation of K5 Camry has brought it back to consumers' field of vision, which is a qualitative leap in both product strength and face value, and once again injected new vitality into the mid-level car market.

Similar to the appearance of rear-wheel drive coupe.

As a young man in the Z era, I personally like K5' s spacious appearance. Not only that, I believe that no young person will refuse the emergence of K5 Kaikuo. As a product of i-GMP platform, K5 Kaiku adopts the latest design style of Kia, and the whole vehicle looks more elegant and dynamic, which is more in line with the aesthetics of young people in the current Z era.

Kaiku's front face uses a lot of straight lines, and the raised lines on the cover make the front face look powerful and beautiful, and the visual effect is very sharp. The once iconic roaring air intake grille has been completely used in Kaiku, and the design of shark teeth gives the grille a good layering. Heartbeat LED daytime running lights look exaggerated, with good recognition, and look sharp with dot matrix LED lights. Clever combination of sharp lamp group and grille brings good integrity, which invisibly increases the horizontal visual width of Kaiku's front face.

Compared with overseas models, K5 Kaiku's body length has increased by 75 mm and its wheelbase has increased by 50 mm.. It is worth mentioning that K5 Kaiku did not break the original aesthetic feeling because of the longer wheelbase. Personally, I think the K5 Kaiku side looks more harmonious and elegant after the wheelbase is lengthened. Thanks to the design concept of short front suspension of i-GMP platform, the side of Kaiku looks more like a rear-drive coupe. Thanks to the concept of low center of gravity of the new platform, Kaiku looks full of "running flavor". It is worth mentioning that if consumers add 3,000 yuan to choose the sports option package, they can also get a very sporty two-color 19 inch rim. There are also Michelin tires (245/40? R 19) front seat heating, seat ventilation and boss button, this optional package is still very cost-effective.

The silver chrome trim runs through the front window from both sides to the tail to form a round package, which looks very delicate. The tail design is quite simple and layered, and the popular through design also appears at the tail of Kaiku. The interior of the lamp cavity adopts dotted line design, which is quite recognizable when it is lit at night. The four vents at the bottom highlight its movement, while the exaggerated diffuser in the middle seems to tell us, "I'm not easy to mess with." It is worth mentioning that the diffuser and four exhaust ports at the bottom are exclusive to the 2.0T GT-Line model, which is the biggest difference in appearance between the GT-Line model and the ordinary model. Besides, it is difficult for us to tell the difference at a glance, because they are both handsome.

Interior full of details? The space far exceeds expectations.

Compared with exaggerated lines, the overall lines in the car converge a lot. Thanks to excellent workmanship and solid materials, Kaiku's interior is luxurious.

The double 12.3-inch multi-screen design brings a good sense of technology to the car. Interestingly, Kaiku's 12.3-inch dashboard has intelligent weather mode. In this mode, you can change the background of the dashboard through the weather information of the user's location transmitted by Baidu Internet, which is very interesting to use. In addition, this all-LCD instrument panel adopts fuzzy processing method, which makes the information displayed on the all-LCD instrument panel richer and clearer.

The large-size central control panel has built-in Baidu Internet 3.0 system, which supports functions such as CarLife, intelligent voice control, Bluetooth key of mobile phone and user identification. The UI design of locomotive system is first-class and easy to operate. In addition, the central control area is inclined to the driver's side, which is convenient for the driver to operate. It is worth mentioning that when the cycle mode of wiper spray air conditioner is automatically switched to internal cycle, the harmful gas generated by glass water is effectively prevented from being introduced into the car.

In addition to the goodwill brought by the detailed design, Kaiku's configuration performance is also unambiguous. Kaiku's seats and large space will bring a good ride experience to the members in the car. Judging from the wheelbase length of 2900mm, Kaiku's wheelbase is the longest in its class. Thanks to the design concept of the new platform with low center of gravity and large space, Kaiku's ride space should not be underestimated.

The world's first CVVD technology blessing

K5 Kaiku adopts a brand-new Smartstream powertrain with two power versions, among which 1.5T engine is equipped with the world's first CVVD technology (continuously variable valve duration). With CVVD technology, engine performance can be improved by 4%, fuel efficiency can be improved by 5%, and exhaust emission can be reduced by 12%. A more efficient integrated thermal management system can make the engine temperature rise or cool rapidly, making the engine more durable.

Usually, an engine has only one engine cycle mode. At this stage, more advanced engines will have two cycle modes. However, with the help of CVVD technology, Kaiku's 1.5T engine takes into account the working principles of Alto cycle, Miller cycle and Atkinson cycle. To put it simply, CVVD technology means that the engine can automatically adjust the valve opening timing and opening duration to match the working conditions, so as to maximize the advantages of the three cycle modes and avoid their disadvantages without sacrificing performance and fuel efficiency.

Kaiku's 1.5T engine has a maximum power of 125kW, a maximum torque of 253n·m, and a comprehensive fuel consumption of 5.6L/ 100km, matching with 7-speed power shift. 2.0T maximum power 176.5kW, maximum torque of 353n·m, matching with 8-speed automatic transmission, and comprehensive fuel consumption of 6.8L/ 100km. For Kaiku? 1.5T engine can fully meet the daily use of most consumers. If there is a high demand for power reserve, the version of 2.0T engine will be a better choice.

Play cards out of the ordinary

Under normal circumstances, the listed manufacturers of new cars will give the official guidance price, and this time the listed manufacturers of Kaiku will give the package price. So what's the price of the set meal? To put it simply, the package price includes the new car purchase tax and the insurance of up to 5,000 yuan, which is equivalent to a discount of about 20,000 yuan, which means that the final landing price of K5 Kaiku will be about 20,000 yuan cheaper than that of the same price model.

In addition to the lowest models, the other three models have a wealth of optional packages for consumers to choose from.

From the warm-up in July to the official listing in early September, I believe everyone is no stranger to Kaiku. As a brand-new model, KIA K5 Kaiku has done well enough. Whether it is the face value or the comprehensive strength of the product, K5 Kaiku can return to the first echelon of the joint venture brand mid-size car. As an alternative to the once-popular K5, Kaiku still has a long way to go. Whether the replacement of a model can be called success depends not only on its product strength, but also on its market performance. Judging from Kia's innovative marketing methods, Dongfeng Da Yue Kia is full of confidence in K5 Kaiku's efforts to rebuild its former glory.
