Due to various factors such as China's consumption habits and automobile consumption policies, the new K3 will no longer be offered with the well-balanced 1.8L model, but only with 1.6L and 1.4T models, and this time it will also be able to enjoy the purchase tax subsidy.

 

Kia is a car company owned by South Korea's Hyundai, and the previous Kia Cerato was the sister car of the Hyundai Elantra, while the Kia Freddy was the sister car of the Hyundai Elantra Yuedong. After Beijing Hyundai introduced the previous generation of Elantra family member Langdong, Dongfeng Yueda Kia also quickly introduced Langdong's sister model, the K3. Similar to Beijing Hyundai's approach, after the K3 is launched, Dongfeng Yueda Kia's original Cerato and Freddy will not be discontinued, but will continue to compete in the market under K3.

 

The K3 continues to maintain the beautiful design characteristics of Korean cars, with a three-spoke flat-bottomed steering wheel with red stitching, which is generally praised on the Internet for its "sporty design with paddle shifters", and its acceleration performance is really good. This 1.4T engine is the one on Hyundai Lingdong, and it is also paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The chassis characteristics of the K3 are also the same as those of the Lingdong, although the performance is good at low and medium speeds, but if you go a little worse at high speeds, you will feel that the chassis is not fit enough and there is too much bounce.

 

Basically, K3 can be seen as a younger orientation, more designed, but slightly shrinking space Elantra Lingdong, its space, configuration, convenience, quality and reliability and other aspects are satisfactory, if you just want to buy a family sedan that is easy to drive and use, K3 has a strong cost performance.
