In other words, the new car price guide on the floor approximately equal to the actual price, equivalent to K5 just listed disguised gives more than 20,000 yuan discount!

Size, the new K5 made after a 50mm longer wheelbase, which it long car close to 5 meters, wheelbase of 2.9 meters and can be regarded as a big man in the midsize sedan.
through the rear biggest bright spot type LED taillights broken line design, 2.0T models have very handsome bilateral dual exhaust, with the end of the diffuser, full range of motion.

In addition, the minimum allocation models K5 is 17-inch wheels, all other models 18 inches standard five-spoke wheels, and 19-inch wheels are available as part of the optional sports package.
K5 relatively few conventional, two big screen is the common design language, with straight lines of the center console style, compared to the movement of radical shape, trim but a lot of convergence.
In the interior color, the new K5 offers all black, beige and red three kinds of programs, calm, home, passion can meet. The red interior, 2.0T models are exclusive options.
power, the new 1.5T + 7DCT K5 is provided and two sets of power 2.0T + 8AT composition, maximum power of 170/240 horsepower and peak torque of 253 / 353Nmiddot; m. among them. 1.5T engine is also equipped with a long time Kia latest technology CVVD continuously variable valve continuously open, independent control can be flexibly opened and closed intake valve to improve combustion efficiency and performance. After
brief review of the parameter information is completely new K5, then we analyze one by one under sections cost-effective configuration.
First, let’s look at policy options package will focus on the promotion of the Kia. Currently the official launch of a total of five kinds of optional packages, different configurations of the models, you can select the option packages are not the same. Comfort package worth 6,000 yuan, providing JBL stereo, leather seats, panoramic images, and other configurations. Here we must mention a mouth, comfort package is only 6,000 yuan Deluxe Edition 1.5T can be optional, while the GLS 2.0T does not provide the option of a comfortable package, top with the factory standard 2.0T Ultimate comfort package configuration.
The same technology package worth 6,000 yuan, supply Deluxe Edition 1.5T and 2.0T GLS options, including 12.3 inches LCD instrumentation, anti-collision driver assistance systems, mobile wireless front row charging and other configurations.
is not difficult to judge by name, value of 3,000 Chilean Parcel main driver assistance systems, including lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise, and high-speed anti-collision warning driver assistance systems . This optional package, only 1.5T Deluxe Edition optional.
value of 3,000 motion packet to select two models of 2.0T, including 19-inch wheels, 245/40 R19 Michelin specification, the front seats heating ventilation and rear boss key. From the cost point of view, 3,000 sports bag is very cost-effective, in particular ventilated front seat heating, can greatly enhance the use feeling of the vehicle.
Finally, the top model is exclusive enjoy luxury package, the same value of 3,000, provides the main driving motor 12 to adjust the main memory driver’s seat, rear row seat heating, heated steering wheel, a color atmosphere lamp 64 arranged, equally high cost.
a variety of optional packages, the benefits that you can choose the desired configuration according to their needs and preferences. However, since the optional package is to place an order to produce, and therefore need to customize a K5 30-day transit time scheduling. Compared to configure individual needs it, but, I believe we can afford to wait the 30 days.
Having five kinds of optional packages, then we look at sections of the models, which were standard configuration.
First, the entire department with a minimum price of 161 800 1.5T fashion model. In the configuration, the standard 17 inches wheels, 6 airbags, electronic parking brake, power sunroof, 7-inch LCD meter 12.3 inches control large screen, LED headlights and other configuration, no problem for daily use. However, as a minimum allocation models, it does not have keyless entry / start, no power seats.
But here should pay attention to, 1.5T fashion model does not support the optional package! In other words, the options package will focus on the implementation of the policy Kia, minimum distribution models are not qualified to enjoy. Thus, while models equipped with the minimum acceptable price is not expensive, we can only give 3 stars recommended.
plus 10,000 to upgrade to 1.5T Deluxe Edition, will get 18-inch wheels, panoramic sunroof, keyless entry / start, the main driving electrically adjustable front soundproof glass , OTA and other car functions.
More importantly, 1.5T Deluxe Edition mentionFor Three optional packages (comfort package, technology package, Chi pack) to choose from, which not only won the upgrade 10000 on the configuration, but also greatly enhance the degree of freedom of the arrangement of the car when. Therefore, 1.5T Deluxe Edition won our 5-star recommendation.
plus 18,000 in the base 1.5T Deluxe Edition, you can upgrade to the GLS 2.0T. Power system upgrades from a combination of 1.5T + 7DCT to the 2.0T + 8AT, maximum power increase of 70 horsepower, more emotion. In addition, 2.0T GLS can also choose red interiors free movement and provides a sports bag and a technology package selection.
the seat heating / ventilation motion is very attractive package 
If the GLS 2.0T later, it is strongly recommended 3000 yuan plus optional sports bags, to obtain the rim 19 inches heated front seats and ventilation, configuration is quite complete. Therefore, 2.0T GLS is more recommended configuration, 4-star review.
Finally, the whole system is the most top with a 2.0T Ultimate, priced at 205,800, compared to GLS expensive 1.6 million. Increase in the active safety system configuration, a panorama image, the ACC adaptive cruise, like the front mobile wireless charging configuration.
In fact, according to the official statement, the top model comes standard with a factory-equivalent value of 6,000 yuan and 3,000 yuan worth of technology package of Chi-line package. And optional package obtained luxury to enjoy exclusive rights. If the budget is sufficient, and higher, you can directly select the top with respect to configuration requirements, and the optional sports package (3000 yuan) and enjoy luxury package (3000 yuan), so that the actual price of the vehicle should be 211,800 yuan . Will be able to get a car, “the top of the top” configuration of the 2.0T K5.
The new Kia K5 pricing, almost immediate concern is the bottom line position joint B-Class, especially as a global car, it is rare to have such a low price. In a public competitive products, the traditional Japanese LaoSanYang Accord, Teana, Camry K5 is bound to be a strong competitor. But pricesLevel,, 1.5T K5 floor price of only 160,000 to succeed, perhaps only 2.0L lowest price with the sounds of nature can do. But buying beggar version of the Teana users, mostly truck drivers about the network, and K5 target user is not exactly the same.
In addition, the same as ten Sonata Korean system will become a major competitor K5, after all, two cars using the same platform, the same powertrain, configuration is also very close. However, there is no package Mendoza at 10 licensing policy K5 given, and therefore the two vehicles to end the actual floor price difference of around 20,000 yuan. In addition, the front design of cable ten and is more controversial, it has also become one of the advantages K5 hope of winning.
In addition to rivals Japan and South Korea, and China in the Passat German market is totally a car that can not be ignored, especially after a Bulgarian research event Passat reputation, although a decline, but market prices have also ushered in a substantial discount. At present, “Bulgarian research with the money,” the business version of the 1.4T models, the terminal floor price of 170 000 up and down, and the price is very close to K5. For the owners have faith in Germany, the Passat will still be their candidate.
Korean cars in the past 10 years, gone from the peak of fall, with the rise of independent brands and joint venture models increase, the advantages of Korean cars less and less. Therefore, this time Kia ideas K5 is also very clear, that is, higher color value, cost-effective route to compete with the Japanese Three Musketeers and the general public, you are right just to the rise of the independent midsize sedan form dimensionality reduction combat, by virtue of the high-allocation model high cost, competition for market share in the joint venture car.
but for this level of traditional consumers, option strategies can accept fancy, is still a question, after all, for a lot of 15-20 million level of consumption are concerned, let them be individually configured to add money, is tantamount to “robbery.” But from the car and car consumption point of view, personalization options, in fact, is the most mature, the most sensible car buying behavior.
