1 Answers
For the Kia KX3 Seltos when climbing slopes, switch to sport mode and then shift to manual mode, using 1st or 2nd gear. Below are some advantages of the Kia KX3: 1. Spacious interior: Although the KX3 is positioned as a compact SUV, it has a relatively long wheelbase of 2630mm, combined with a boxy body design, resulting in ample rear seating space. Adults sitting in the rear will have about two fists of legroom and one fist of headroom, making it quite practical. 2. Low ownership costs: Based on fuel consumption data, the KX3 averages 7.26L/100km. Using ECO mode and auto start-stop more frequently can further improve fuel efficiency. Additionally, Hyundai-Kia's reliability is consistently good with fewer issues, making the KX3 cost-effective and hassle-free. 3. Comfortable driving experience: The KX3 isn't particularly powerful, with its 1.5L engine delivering just 115 horsepower and 143.8N·m of peak torque. However, the throttle response is quite sensitive, making the power delivery light and agile. The CVT transmission is smooth, so while the KX3 lacks excitement, it's easy to drive. The suspension also does a good job of filtering out bumps, making it suitable for family use.
