AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)03/28 Report--
As an early MPV model entering the domestic market, Kia Jiahua was listed domestically in 2004. At that time, Jiahua was already in the market as a mainstream MPV model. Later, the model was gradually marginalized, stopped production for many years, and has been sold as imported models. With the gradual expansion of the domestic MPV market, Dongfeng Yueda Kia will once again domestic this model, is expected to mass production in July this year.
According to a previously exposed document, the new Jiahua domestic version, codenamed KA4c, has begun trial production and will be officially mass produced in July. According to the pace of Kia's previous model release, the new Jiahua domestic version is expected to be released at the Shanghai auto show in April, followed by a price release after mass production in July and competition among many models of the same class.
The appearance of the new car has been announced before, the whole car continues the design of previous overseas models, the front face uses the latest design language, the large-size Tiger whistle-style medium net with headlamp group, the integration of LED light belt and grille, full of family flavor. It is worth noting that the domestic models are only adjusted in China net, and the rest are not different.
On the length, width and height of the body size, the new car is 5155*1995*1740mm and the wheelbase is 3090mm. The oversized size not only brings excellent space performance, but also makes the model look bigger. It is worth noting that more abundant space is the intention of the new model, and the internal layout of the new car is the biggest highlight, providing a seat layout of 4, 6, 7, 8 and 11 seats, and the seats can rotate in many directions. enrich the demand for the use of the scene, as to whether the domestic will provide so many options is not known.
At the same time, the suspended roof looks more advanced with the chrome-plated design at the rear of the body. The rear of the car adopts the design of through-type taillights, which echoes with the front face.
The interior is a bit vague, but it can be seen that the new car also continues the overseas design, with a 12.3-inch LCD dashboard and 12.3-inch central touch screen, as well as the popular linked-screen design. In the lower control area, the common control keys such as volume knob and temperature button are solid design, and the rest of the function keys are touch interaction. However, the new car has been replaced with a new LOGO.
In terms of power, there is not much news at present. The overseas version is equipped with a 3.5L V6 gasoline engine, which is matched by a 8AT gearbox. However, after home-made, the probability of carrying V6 engine is not high, so you can refer to the current K5 2.0T engine.
In fact, the history of Kia Jiahua is similar to that of Honda Odyssey and Toyota Sienna. The first generation of Jiahua was launched in 1998, but it was only introduced at the end of the product in 2004, and because the model was relatively old, it gradually lost its competitiveness. in the end, the second and third generation Jiahua did not achieve domestic introduction, and has been sold in China by the way of vehicle import.
The third-generation Jiahua is doing well in overseas markets, but it is still not improving in the domestic market. As the pattern of the domestic MPV market has been fixed, it is really difficult to intervene, and the model is finally delisted.
Now the fourth-generation models are about to be introduced, but due to the decline of Korean brands and the introduction of more blockbuster joint venture MPV in the future, the new generation of Kia Jiahua still faces great challenges.
