(1) which configuration is the most cost-effective? Since it is a shopping guide sharing, I will generally give you the answer directly according to the configuration comparison, which configuration has the highest input-output ratio, but this time K5 Kaiku also includes five optional packages. Let me show you a picture first, so that you can learn about the optional package first. Do you think it looks a little messy? I'll give you a clear idea, just remember these points. 1.5T low-grade equipment cannot be matched, and it belongs to friends who bought it for transportation or have operational needs. The input-output ratio of "technology package" and "smart package" is the highest, and the conditions permit. 2.T top-fitting can be regarded as a 2.T low-fitting model with "Technology Pack" and "Smart Pack", and only the top-fitting model can be equipped with "Luxury Pack". Then Dayuan compares the recommended configuration. 1.5T model: 27T? CVVD Deluxe Edition (1.5T high) optional? "Technology Package" and "Zhixing Package", I named them "1.5T Double Package Edition", that is, 17.18+.9 = 18,8 yuan. Because the original 1.5T high-profile models are enough to meet daily needs, such as 18-inch rims, front sound insulation glass, panoramic sunroof, leather seats, Bluetooth key and one-button start, inductive trunk, 12.3-inch central control panel, reversing radar and image, four windows and one-button lifting. Coupled with the supplement of two configuration packages, you can get a 12.3-inch full LCD instrument panel, ACC and highway assisted driving, intelligent far and near light, wireless charging and front radar. Basically, it can compete with the same class of vehicles, which is a cost-effective choice of 1.5T. 2.T model: 38T? GT-Line's flagship edition (2.T high match) comes directly from the top, and comes standard with "Technology Package" and "Zhixing Package", which is very cost-effective, that is, 25,8 yuan. Needless to say, the configuration can be regarded as the 2.T version of the "1.5T Double Pack Edition" just mentioned, except that the functions of the "sports bag" and "luxury bag" are not optional, and the configuration is enough to meet daily needs, and it can also compete with the same class of vehicles. Besides, don't forget the package price! Package price! Package price! 25,8 yuan, basically, the full amount will be landed, and you can drive away around 21. Of course, I haven't counted the terminal discount yet. Actually, I want to say more about the price. First of all, as an analysis of the current situation of Korean cars, the brand is bound to adjust its attitude to cater to consumers. At present, most competitors in the medium-sized automobile market are basically selling with dual powertrain lines, with one high-end brand and the other low-end sales. Compared with the same class models, the price of K5 Kaiku dual powertrain is not high, but the pricing advantage is not obvious. On the other hand, it seems to me that KIA K5 Kaiku's package price strategy should be effective, because it is officially given to you and can be seen as real money. (2) Does the interior design and space conform to the positioning of medium-sized cars? Over the years, the most impressive thing about Korean cars is their individuality in the design of the interior. But the interior of K5 Kaiku does create a relatively introverted design feeling. Plain, adequate and in line with more people's aesthetics is the most intuitive feeling I have when I see K5 Kaiku. This is also related to the current state of Korean cars, and they need to accept consumers of different ages with a more neutral design. The dual screen design that conforms to the fashion trend, the relatively straight central control shape and the central control area with touch and buttons, especially the steering wheel, do not adopt the special-shaped design with acute angle and obtuse angle used by Korean cars many years ago, but still adopt the straight design, which is simple and atmospheric. In terms of configuration, the model in the picture is a 2.T flagship model with the official name of 38T? GT-Line? The flagship version, that is, the configuration recommendation mentioned above, is very high in 2.T, so there is no need to worry too much about the configuration. Since we mentioned it many times just now, I won't go into details. Secondly, in the passenger space, K5 Kaiku has a body length of 498mm and a wheelbase of 29mm. This size is further increased than the Korean version, and the performance in the same level is also good, so there is no need to worry about the back row space. Dayuan's height and weight sitting in the back are abundant.
(3) The design is really amazing. I'll set a Flag for the design of K5 Kaiku first. Although this year's annual car selection and awards may be shelved due to the epidemic, I guess K5 Kaiku will probably win a design award. This new force based on the third-generation i-GMP platform perfectly combines the elements of the Z era at this stage. When I first saw it, I thought it was really beautiful, and most of the KIA brand models in everyone's mind were white. This time, its main color is blue and gray, which is also a way for the brand to revise and improve its image. You've seen a lot of pictures. I'll try to reduce some reading time and just say a few design elements that I think are very beautiful. First of all, the combination of headlights and the variant tiger-roaring middle net widens the front of the car, and the visual effect is particularly prominent. Secondly, the fog light area is concise, and the hood dives downward, reducing the visual center of gravity. Thirdly, the K5 Kaiku adopts a slip-back design, but a long chrome-plated decoration is used above the window to reduce the visual center of gravity and guide the line of sight to the rear of the car. This is to let more people see the K5 Kaiku, and try to avoid feeling that the K5 Kaiku is overdone and still very calm. Finally, the top model is equipped with bilateral double exhaust and penetrating taillights, with simple elements and beautiful curves. I really love this design!
(4) power system, what is CVVD? Dayuan is a pragmatist, and I have only had a static experience with the K5 Kaiku, so I want to reserve my opinion for the time being. If everyone has a high voice, I have to borrow a test drive anyway to give you feedback on the real feelings. But I just want to roughly explain what this CVVD of the 1.5T model is. In fact, CVVD technology is to adjust the air intake required by the combustion chamber under different working conditions by adjusting the duration of the continuous opening of the intake valve, so as to improve the fuel economy, engine responsiveness and mobility in life. And I think it's like some simple technical details, so I'll skip it. Let's write another article or video to explain it separately when there is an opportunity. As long as you remember, this technology is similar to other brands, but the way to achieve the goal may be different. Second, this technology is the unique technology of Hyundai Kia Group at this stage, and it may be often seen in the next few days. Third, we need to witness the application and durability of this technology.
(5) What attitude should we have towards Korean cars? Dayuan believes that the automobile market is also divided into homeopathic and contrarian trends. Consumers can put their minds at rest for different vehicles, and there may be more discoveries. When we have been bearish on something, there are only two possibilities in the end, one is to leave the historical stage, and the other is to bottom out, so we have to adjust our minds and wait and see carefully. Indeed, in the past few years, the sales volume of Korean cars decreased because of the high cost performance of domestic brands and configurations, and then they fell into a dilemma again because of the improvement of the calibration level of domestic cars. However, after the epidemic has stabilized, the sales of Korean cars are gradually increasing, and the investment in new technologies and new models will have a certain cognitive impact on the market. Truth! KIA K5 Kaiku's competitiveness really exceeds Dayuan's expectations, and I have seen the news. KIA will also launch various models in a new era to innovate the product line, so this scene is worth watching! That's all for today. Once the plane landed, remember to pay attention to Dayuan and watch my video!
