The Korean cars after this year’s update have a lot to look at, the new Hyundai Sonata Both the Kia K5 and Dongfeng Yueda bring higher-performance 2.0t turbocharged engines. This powertrain can already produce 240 horsepower, which is obviously stronger than the Honda Accord and Volkswagen Magotan of the same level, and its appearance design is comparable. Excellent, so the sales performance of Kia K5's new model has been rising steadily since its launch. In fact, in addition to the 2.0t version of the Kia k5, there is also the brand-new Kia k5GT in overseas markets, which is a high-performance sports model based on the new Kia k5. Recently, this product has been unveiled in real cars in North America.
First of all, from the appearance design point of view, the main body style has not changed. The front face of the GT version continues to provide a very classic Kia tiger-style air intake grille, with narrow LED matrix headlights on both sides. Decorated with lightning-shaped daytime running lights, the GT version additionally provides a cooling grille and real air guide holes on both sides. The side of the body maintains a smooth coupe fastback style, and the high-strength forged wheels and black rearview mirror housings bring a good sense of sportiness.
In addition to the through-type taillights at the rear of the vehicle, the GT version also adds a small black rear wing decoration, the two exhaust pipe outlets are also larger, plus a black deflector, overall the GT version The sportiness of the model is indeed more prominent. There are some subtle differences from the regular version of Kia K5, which are not difficult to distinguish as long as you observe carefully. The sports version will provide more trendy colors, such as the cement gray paint that has been popular in the past two years, which looks more elegant.
The interior of the Kia k5GT vehicle has not changed much. The seat backs are provided with three-fur stitching material and GT letter embroidery. The center console still has a full LCD instrument panel with a large floating screen. However, this model has changed The gear lever is more practical and is not the knob shift device of the domestic Kia K5. Since the body size of the new Kia K5 has been significantly lengthened, the rear seating space is spacious enough. This high-performance car also has home practicality.
The GT version of the new model provides a 2.5t turbocharged four-cylinder engine. The official maximum power reaches 213 kilowatts, which is already comparable to the 2.3t version of the Ford Mustang sports car, and the peak torque reaches 422 It is much stronger than the 2.0t version of the domestic Kia k5, and is equipped with Kia Group's latest 8-speed dual-clutch gearbox. The gear switching response is faster. The overseas version of the new Kia k5GT even provides a four-wheel drive system. , the control quality of the entire car will be significantly improved.
At present, Dongfeng Yueda Kia has no news about the k5GT model. It is expected that the probability of introducing localization is not high. Judging from the previous market performance of Kia Stinger high-performance coupe, even this If the more powerful Kia K5 model is introduced into the country, I am afraid not many consumers will pay for it. After all, domestic consumers now have too many misunderstandings about Korean brands. The brand power is not as good as that of German and Japanese brands. No matter how good the design is, no matter how strong the configuration is, It is not easy for Korean cars to become popular.
