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, and basically, the K3 can be seen as a more youthful and more design-oriented, but with a shrinking space. And it also only costs 100,000 yuan, the K3 you can buy is a little higher than the Elantra configuration, if you add a little more budget, you can even buy a 1.4T power version, it and Honda Fit is the best power that can be bought with a budget of about 100,000 yuan.
The K3 is satisfactory in terms of space, configuration, convenience and other aspects, and if you just want to buy a family sedan that is easy to drive and use, the K3 has a strong value for money, which is partly due to brand recognition, and Korean cars are generally priced lower in China.
The quality of the K3 is actually very reliable, and its safety performance can be compared to the results of the latest generation Elantra, so there is no need to worry about it at all. The K3 is also a five-star safety model in China's C-NCAP crash test, with a score of 54.2.
After Europe lowered tariffs on imported Korean cars from 10% to 8%, sales of Korean cars in Europe soared by 40%, and it is time to change the stereotype of Korean cars.
