How about importing Kia Carnival? Is it worth buying?

The Kia Carnival is a fully imported car launched in China in July 2014, and although the number of cars in China is very small, its reputation is okay.

The front end still uses Kia's signature "Tiger Roar" grille, but the black dot matrix trim on the inside has been transformed into a grid-like structure, which is connected to the quad headlight clusters on both sides, giving the front end a more chunky and aggressive look. Coupled with the C-shaped chrome trim strip in the fog lamp area, the front face of the all-new Carnival looks like a dynamic and fashionable SUV model, and at the same time, it also has the atmosphere of a business MPV.

The interior design is also more pleasing and takes care of the driver. The central control 8-inch touch screen interface is very clear, the response is also relatively sensitive, the operation is simple and easy to use, and the conventional navigation, Bluetooth**, CD player and radio and other functions are equipped, fully meeting the needs of daily travel. Domestic consumers are particularly fond of panoramic sunroofs, and Kia Carnival has an independent sunroof in the front and rear rows, which can be said to be very sincere.

The interior is super good-looking, and the beige color creates a very strong home atmosphere, which is especially suitable for family consumer groups, and is also very high-grade as a commercial car.

In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new Jiahua are 5115*1985*1805mm, although the length is not as good as Buick GL8, but the body width and height are more advantageous, and the 3060mm wheelbase is also very close, and the advantages are more obvious compared with the Odyssey, and it can be said that it is not weak in terms of ride space.

The Carnival diesel version is powered by a diesel engine with a maximum power of 200 hp and a peak torque of 440 Nm. The transmission is mated to a 6-speed automatic manual transmission. The diesel engine is powerful and the oil cost is low, so it is still more suitable for family cars.

Kia Carnival's appearance is still quite high, as an MPV, its share in the Korean market is equivalent to that of Lavida in China, but its sales in China have not been very good. The car is actually a good car, the marketing is not done well, and Chinese like to buy brands when buying cars, his publicity is not in place, and the outlets are relatively few, which is easy to be ignored.

After the revision, the black dot matrix decoration inside the latest version of the Kia Carnival has become a grid-like structure, and the lower bumper has also changed from the previous through-type design to a three-section design, and the fog lights on both sides have changed from round fog lamps to four LED light source fog lamps, supplemented by silver chrome trim strips to embellish, making the front face look more stylish and atmospheric.

The interior appearance is also super high, and the Kia Carnival adopts a symmetrical layout, and the overall color scheme adopts black and brown. The centre console has not changed much from the current model, with an embedded LCD display in the center, trapezoidal air conditioning vents on both sides, and a three-spoke steering wheel.

In order to meet the needs of business reception and family travel, Kia Carnival adopts a 2+2+3 cockpit layout, with a sense of design and soft seat cushions, thick headrests, very good head support, and electric lumbar support. The second row features two independent seats with adjustable double armrests, and the second-row seats can be folded upright in addition to the middle aisle, taking into account comfort and practicality. The storage aspect is also very good, the car has abundant storage slots, and the loading capacity of the tail compartment is also very strong, and if the third row of seats is completely folded down and hidden at the floor level, you can even sleep in the car.

The Kia Carnival uses a V6 petrol engine and an L4 diesel engine. Among them, the maximum power of the model is 206kw, the peak torque is 336N·m, and the data performance is almost at the same level as that of the Chrysler Grand Jielong Alpha of the same level. The chassis is also a standard luxury MPV tuning style, the vibration damping work is very good, the suspension is not hard, and there will be no strong discomfort after fine roads, which is very suitable for business receptions or family travel.

As consumers pay more and more attention to and buy MPV models, the competition in the MPV market has become fierce, various manufacturers have launched a model that is better than a model, GL8 has been in the sales king of the scene has changed, Odyssey, Volkswagen Sharan and other models sales have also improved, the spring of MPV models is coming, Kia Carnival, which has been performing poorly in China, will introduce the third-generation model into the country, hoping to make a breakthrough and occupy some market share.

<> Kia Carnival still adopts the latest tiger roar front face design, a very characteristic family style, which looks particularly beautiful in Jiahua, the shape of the front face looks very imposing, and the wide and burly body has a very calm feeling, Kia Carnival does not have that too business feeling, it may also be the reason for the niche model, it is very suitable for family use, personal purchase, younger, sharp front face, very recognizable!

The side lines of the <> body are simple and fashionable, the straight lines run from the front to the rear of the car to add a sense of strength, the use of suspended roof design is very attractive, trendy and fashionable, the shape of the rear is not as sharp as the front face design, nothing too unique, the overall solid and heavy feeling, the silver guard plate is embellished, quite hierarchical, the appearance of the vehicle is high, it is very suitable for family use, personal purchase, it may be the feeling of a niche model, I will not feel that it is too business, I drive like a driver, and the appearance is very beautiful!

The interior reflects a steady style, feeling a little old-fashioned, a large area of soft materials, workmanship materials are very good, three sports multi-function steering wheels, leather wrapping, very textured, 8-inch multi-** screen is fully functional, it is easy to realize man-machine interconnection, configuration, cruise control, hill assist, panoramic electric sunroof, keyless entry start, leather seats, comfortable seats, front and rear electric adjustment, front and rear seats heating and ventilation, bringing a better experience to drivers and passengers, The Kia Carnival has a good seven-seat MPV space, and the third row of seats is very flat when folded down, which is a good design! The low-profile manual side sliding door is too low to buy this configuration, except for the low-configuration double electric side sliding door!

In terms of power, Kia Carnival provides a turbocharged diesel engine, which is matched with a gasoline self-aspirated engine, matched with a 6-speed automatic manual transmission with a maximum horsepower of 200 horsepower, and matched with a 6-speed automatic manual transmission with a maximum horsepower of 280 horsepower. However, it is still within an acceptable range, the appearance configuration space is not bad, and now the discount margin is also very large, and the opponents of the same level are too strong to make Jiahua out at all, but Jiahua is still cost-effective, depending on the person!

Many people will choose between a 7-seater SUV and a 7-seater MVP, and if you have a large number of family members, I recommend buying an MPV. The Kia Carnival adopts a 2+2+3 seat layout, which is also the most traditional seat layout of the MPV, which is convenient for passengers to enter the third row, while the width of the aisle between the two seats in the second row of the Carnival is 365mm, and passengers can easily move around the cabin. The seats in the second row can be moved forward and backward, with a maximum legroom of 2 fists, and a maximum legroom of more than 3 fists in the third row, which is very eye-catching, and the third-row child safety seat interface, which is more careful than other MPV models.

Turbocharged low-profile models can fully meet daily needs, and if you are used to GL8, Odyssey and other models, Kia Carnival is also a good choice, which is very cost-effective and worth buying.

As Kia's mid-to-high-end MPV, Jiahua is now about 27-380,000 in the domestic market. From the point of view, Kia Carnival, as a purely imported MPV, is still acceptable. In addition, I personally think that the biggest advantage of this car is its spacious interior space and gorgeous and temperamental exterior styling, which are quite in line with the appetite of Chinese consumers.

However, according to the reaction of one of my buddies, the performance of Jiahua is slightly lacking in the sound in the car, so friends who choose Jiahua should pay attention to this.

You can look domineering **changed some pure imports**It's an 8-speed gearbox I'm also waiting for ** to be listed.

I bought the Jiahua version of the model, first of all, the quality of the imported model is still guaranteed to a certain extent, and the interior space is very large, I am used to seeing models such as GL8 and Odyssey, I would rather choose some niche models. The interior style is very stable, suitable for home use but can also occasionally pick up customers, the steering wheel I personally think is a little thin, I added a steering wheel cover. The ride space is good, often take the family out for a road trip, the baby has a lot of things can be put in the trunk, if not enough can also put away the third row, completely enough.

At present, it has traveled more than 20,000 kilometers, and the fuel consumption is liters per 100 kilometers, which is very satisfactory for a model. At the moment, there is no problem at all, it is worth buying.

In our impression, Korean cars have always had a pretty good cost performance, although the first Korean car in the past two years is not ideal, but whether it is Kia or Hyundai, the sales of those mainstay models between them are still considerable. However, it has been more than two years since Jiahua came to China, and this car is basically not seen on the road, so it is conceivable that this car is still quite unpopular. Therefore, I think the biggest reason why Jiahua does not sell well is its strange power system, knowing that Chinese consumers do not like diesel engines, they just came out with a diesel version, and in addition, he is relatively insufficient in terms of cost performance compared to GL8.

For this reason, I personally think that it is necessary to consider carefully when choosing a car from Jiahua.

As more and more domestic individual users pay attention to and buy MPV models, Kia Carnival is a good choice. The materials and workmanship of the interior are good, the upper part of the center console is made of soft materials, and the leather wrap of the steering wheel feels delicate. The shape of the front of the car on the exterior is very imposing, with the wide model gives people a very calm feeling, the suspended roof shape is very attractive, although the rear does not have too many unique designs, but the overall stocky style is easy to accept.

In terms of space, it is not much different from the traditional MPV GL8, and there are certain advantages in **. As a pure imported model of Kia, the quality of the vehicle is also guaranteed to a certain extent. It's worth buying.

Kia Carnival is a very good car, very cost-effective, the performance of the car is also very good, and the car is not expensive, and the appearance looks atmospheric.

Among the medium and large MPVs on the market today, Jiahua is really high-end at the start, that is, the configuration level of the entry-level version of Dansheng, which is comparable to other medium and high-end versions, and in terms of rear configuration, it is equipped with a "double-sided electric sliding door + rear seat heating + rear independent air conditioning + rear sunshade" set, which can be said to be very cost-resistant to this price.

I think this car is worth buying, and it's quite cost-effective, because it's very cost-effective, and its engine is four-cylinder, which has a lot of power.

It's just an eye-catching chicken rib.

The only thing is the lack of space height.

After the price cut, many people questioned Kia Carnival's pricing strategy. After all, in this price range, you can buy the Buick GL8 ES Luzun and the Honkuchi Chida Odyssey MEAN and high-spec models. In the internal market, with the current brand strength of Dongfeng Yueda Kia, it is believed that many consumers are not "land business class", with a lower configuration, using non-independent torsion beams, and the product specifications are significantly lower than those of Jiahua.

The product specification similar to Jiahua is "ES Lucun", with a range of 317,900-417,900 yuan, which is much more expensive than Jiahua.

On the one hand, it has low sales and has become a completely second-tier or even third-tier joint venture brand. Its total sales in August were just over 11,000 units. Compared to 21,800 units in the same period last year, their sales have halved.

This is not as good as the sales of hot-selling cars of first-tier brands; Xia Jiahua's sales data in South Korea. In 2015, Carnival sold 6,759 units, ranking seventh in Korea's annual passenger car sales list and first in the MPV category. The power of K. Wah's products is very good, comparable to Senna.

It is currently difficult to judge the compatibility and reliability of the engine and transmission. It's hard to change the design of a car and a brand when it's formed, unless there's a core technology; However, there is no core technology to be seen in the current tour of Li Dai Kia. As the only turning opportunity, the electric drive systems were recalled one after the other.

Samsung and LG Chemie have problems with the battery. Trusting the aristocracy and rejecting customers is the biggest mistake. A few years ago, I was worried about Jiahua imports, and now the ** is higher than all imports.

Because of the pre-sale**, I've never seen this m**. Follow the observation procedure as much as possible. Premium brand.

Okay, a good car. It is a complete second-tier or even third-tier joint venture brand. Its total sales in August were just over 11,000 units.

Compared with 21,800 units in the same period last year, it and the taste of the car is not bad, when the car is picked up, the taste of the car is a little when I buy it, but it will be scattered in three or five days! The materials that prove this car are still good.
