2 Answers
Kaiyi X3 is a new automotive brand under Chery Holdings. The following is an introduction to the Kaiyi X3: 1. The vehicle is equipped with the iCar 1.0 intelligent connectivity system, which enables smart features such as intelligent voice control, remote control via smartphone, and self-diagnosis of vehicle conditions. Its exterior design also aligns with the aesthetic preferences of today's younger generation. 2. The Kaiyi X3 targets the young SUV market, with overall dimensions of 4335/1796/1665mm (length/width/height) and a wheelbase of 2530mm, providing ample space for passengers. 3. The hawk-wing front grille, eagle-eye light guide headlights, and falcon-style waistline integrate the Kaiyi hawk-inspired family DNA, creating a fluid and dynamic sculptural shape. The interior adopts a wraparound design with a clean and simple layout. The circular air vents are exquisitely designed, and the dashboard features a 10.1-inch capacitive touchscreen provided by Apple supplier Foxconn, enhancing the technological feel of the cabin. Additionally, dual-tone interior options are available.
I recently researched some newly launched cars, and the Kaiyi X3 is the flagship product of Kaiyi Auto. You might not be very familiar with the Kaiyi brand—it's actually a relatively new domestic brand in China, established only in 2014 through a collaboration between Chery Automobile and several companies from Yibin, Sichuan. It positions itself as an affordable option, with prices generally around 100,000 yuan, targeting young people or budget-conscious family users. As a compact SUV, the X3 offers practical space design, with enough room in the back seat for three people without feeling cramped, and a spacious trunk for carrying plenty of items. It’s powered by a 1.5L engine with decent fuel efficiency, making it suitable for daily commutes or short trips. However, the brand’s recognition isn’t very high, so if you’re considering it, you might want to check whether there are local 4S service centers nearby—convenient maintenance is key. I took it for a test drive once and found the chassis tuning quite good—it drives smoothly without much bumpiness in urban conditions, though acceleration on highways is a bit sluggish. Overall, it’s a cost-effective choice among domestic cars.
