In November 2014, the Korean manufacturer of Kia automobile presented to the public a new concept of a crossover, and today, only a few months later, we are already seeing the first images of the production version of the new model.
The fabulous speed, with which a concept has traveled the path from the prototype to the production line, is because it is built on the same platform with the Hyundai ix25, with which it shares a large part of the technological components.
The crossover was spied recently in China, where will be held the official launch of the model. If KX3 will get be marketed in Europe, it remains to be seen, but for now, the company officials do not rush to take such a decision. With a length of 4.270 mm, Kia KX3 can boast a 2,590 mm wheelbase, which ensures enough space inside for four passengers.
Most likely that under the hood of the new model will be installed exclusively naturally aspirated engines, based on unit volume of 1.6 liters and 123 horsepower, but it is considered a 1.6-liter turbo version capable of delivering 200 horsepower and 264 Nm of torque. The new model will have a starting price of over $ 17,000, equipped in the entry-level version!
