The engine of the Kia K3 is: a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and a 1.4T turbocharged engine. Taking the 2021 Kia K3 as an example, it belongs to the compact car category, with body dimensions of: length 4660mm, width 1780mm, height 1450mm, a wheelbase of 2700mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 53L. The 2021 Kia K3 features a MacPherson strut independent front suspension and a torsion beam non-independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 130PS, a maximum torque of 211Nm, and a maximum power of 96kW, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
The Kia K3's engine is primarily a 1.6-liter gasoline direct injection engine. I've used this car for several years and feel its power output is around 130 horsepower. Paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission, it drives exceptionally smoothly, with no sluggishness when starting in city traffic. Fuel consumption is well-controlled, averaging about 6.5 liters per 100 kilometers in mixed daily driving, and even more economical on highways. From a technical perspective, it utilizes a GDI direct injection system to enhance combustion efficiency, reduce emissions, and maintain low noise levels. Maintenance-wise, it's quite durable—just regular oil and filter changes are needed, with no major issues encountered. It's suitable for those seeking cost-effectiveness, being more fuel-efficient than the comparable Civic engine, though slightly weaker in high-speed acceleration. Overall, it's a great choice for a family car, offering high reliability and comfort even on long trips.
