Product Positioning
As a compact car, Kia K3 is aimed at young users, with a price range of RMB 100,000 to 130,000, and is responsible for sales. This is also true from the actual performance, and it is currently Kia's best-selling car product.

Power Configuration
KIA K3 mainly has two power configurations to choose from: 1.5L/1.4T. The 1.5L engine has a horsepower of 115Ps, a maximum torque of 144N·m, and a maximum power of 84.5Kw. The 1.4T engine has a horsepower of 144Ps, a maximum torque of 211N·m, and a maximum power of 103Kw.

Smart Cockpit
The interior has also undergone significant adjustments and upgrades, with the main changes focused on the two screens and the area below the center console. Dual 10.25-inch LCD instrument panels, LCD visual shift lever, leather multi-function steering wheel with heating, and touch-screen automatic air conditioning are all installed on the new K3.


Flat-Bottomed Steering Wheel
The shape of the multi-function steering wheel has not changed, except that the GT-Line logo has been removed from the old model. It is worth mentioning that the frosted leather fabric feels good.
Instrument Panel
The instrument panel has been upgraded to a full LCD, which is larger in size and clearer. The information that can be viewed inside is also richer, such as tire pressure, multimedia, driving assistance information, etc.


Central Control Screen
In terms of the KIA K3 2023 central control screen, the touch buttons below the screen are placed in the air conditioning control area, and the upper part becomes a complete floating large screen with improved size and clarity.
Front Row Charging
The storage slot has been redesigned, and the interior is not made particularly deep. The mobile phone can be placed horizontally here for wireless charging, and the location of the charging port and 12V power supply is also more obvious.


Gearshift Lever
The gear area has changed in style and layout. The most obvious change is the shift lever shape. Compared with the old model, it feels better and the size has also decreased. It feels a lot more spacious. The 1.5L engine is equipped with a CVT continuously variable transmission (simulated 8 gears), and the 1.4T engine is equipped with a 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission.
Front Seats
The front leather seats are relatively wide, providing good support for the hips and back. The backrests are well padded and soft, making them comfortable for long rides.


Rear Air Vents
The KIA K3 has air conditioning vents in the rear, and a Type-C charging port below. This is a very good configuration at this price. The middle of the rear floor is relatively flat, which is more friendly to rear passengers.
Sunroof
Except for the lowest-end model, all other models are equipped with an electric sunroof, the size is the same as before, but it is better than nothing.


Rear Seats
The rear seats of the KIA K3 entry-level model only have two headrests that cannot be raised or lowered. Although there is a three-point seat belt in the middle, there is no headrest or central armrest.
Trunk
The interior space of the trunk is relatively neat, the rear seats can be folded down in proportion, and there are folding handles on both sides of the trunk, which is more convenient +1.

Front Face Design
The front of the Kia K3 2023 1.4T DCT luxury version uses the latest family design, which is officially called the tiger roar front face. The front grille, lower surround and headlights have all been upgraded. The chrome decoration is almost wiped off the body, and the front of the car is decorated with a lot of black trim, which is very similar to the K5. The blackening is very thorough, and it looks a lot younger and more sporty. The details of the front grille and LED headlights are well done. If you look closely, you will find that the inside is still the kind of tough lines, which matches the overall feeling of the new car.

Body Side
Kia K3 has not changed much in terms of body size. The length has increased by 6mm, while the width, height and wheelbase remain the same. L*W*H: 4666*1780*1450mm, wheelbase:
2700mm.
The 17-inch two-tone aluminum alloy wheels are sporty in shape, and are matched with four Nexen tires, the NPriz AH8 series, which are wear-resistant and comfortable, with tire specifications of 225/45 R17.

Rear Design
The rear of the car has also changed a lot, with a more aggressive rear surround and a black trim strip added above the trunk lid. After a simple adjustment, it is more fashionable than the old model.

Practical Configuration
KIA K3 has a relatively complete configuration and many functions, including reversing image, automatic parking, full-speed adaptive cruise control, front and rear reversing radar, etc. Active braking and brake assist are both practical and safer on the road. The voice recognition function is also good and there are many practical functions.
