I didn't think of that... will have indentation in the KIA shape meh? Actually that's a pretty difficult shape to make on a metal surface... if they did that, really take my hat off for Kia for that detail... looks like need to stamp when the metal is still soft to make that indentation... I think circles or ovals easier to make? I wonder if this indentation thing is a thing? I never noticed... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fellows 2nd Gear April 18, 2021 Share April 18, 2021 (edited) https://youtu.be/jpUtyTXFQ94 The new 2021 KIA K3 looks alright, not as a massive change compared to Hyundai AVANTE CN7. Come on, C&C be competitive like the AVANTE Elite variant, bring in full safely features! Hope the rear lights is one straight line like the avante.

Komoco was blasted by some for pricing the Avante Elite at way above $100k n they were also sniggled at by some for the pricing being close to and even surpassing established competitors like Altis, Mz3, Civic etc. If u want a full specced K3, it will be be likewise. I pity the ADs cos when they don't bring in sufficient specs, they are told we paying big $ for getting an empty shell etc and when they do bring in full specs, they are also criticized for unrealistic pricing etc. So a case of do and be damned, don't do and also be damned haiz........... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fellows 2nd Gear April 20, 2021 Share April 20, 2021 (edited) 2 engine option: 1.6NA with CVT or 1.6T with 7DCT (GT) in Korea. Asian Petrolhead first look 2022 KIA K3 Facelift:https://youtu.be/1sWMUFvYP2A No ambient lighting but come with better safely features. A handful of tweaks have also been made to the interior of the K3. For example, there’s a 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen and a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, this digital gauge cluster will only be featured on top spec variant. Entry-level models will have a smaller 4.2-inch digital driver display and an 8.0-inch infotainment screen. New external blue colour pair with new two tone black/orange seats.

Putting the signal lamp on the bumper is not an ideal level because it is not at eye level from other drivers line of sight. This is something I cannot understand about KIA designer also. Not that putting the signal lamps at the bumper level is nice or what, it just looks after thought. And yet the main rear cluster has location which suppose to be the signal indicators instead are reflectors. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
