Kia Huanchi Small Car product review

Huanchi is a small sedan launched by Kia in 2017, the size is slightly smaller than the K2, the price is also lower, and the minimum manual transmission is traded in the early 40,000s, which is a very cost-effective choice.
 
Huanchi is unpretentious in terms of appearance, the side lines of the body are very straight, the shape of the tail is very square, and the Hyundai Rena is a bit similar, basically there is no sense of design, the front of the car follows the design of Kia Rio, and there is also a Kia Tiger Roar grille, reflecting one of the few design senses in terms of appearance. In terms of wheels, limited by cost, 14-inch wheels are also used, and steel rims are used on low-spec models.
 
In terms of power, it is also a 1.4-liter naturally aspirated engine with a maximum horsepower of 95 hp, which is common in Korean small cars, and is paired with a manual transmission or Aisin 4AT. There is no problem as a daily scooter, but it can only be used daily, and it will still feel that the power is not enough for four people.
 
There is not much difference between the high and low models in the interior materials, they will use a large area of hard plastic, the whole system is equipped with a plastic steering wheel, manual air conditioning, and the control buttons of the windows are also integrated under the air conditioning control buttons like Rena, and the seat material is mainly imitation leather. In addition to the lowest configuration, all models are equipped with rear wheel disc brakes, and there is an electric sunroof from the middle configuration, but the ESP is only available in the top configuration, which is also in line with the price of the product.
 
In terms of reliability, the automatic transmission model will have an advantage over the manual transmission model, because the Aisin 4AT is mature and reliable, and the clutch pump of the manual transmission model has a certain probability of oil leakage, which is worth noting.
