SUV

An SUV, also called a crossover or light off-roader, is the fashionable segment when it comes to automobiles. From the English Sport Utility Vehicle, it refers to a sport vehicle designed with a unibody chassis and a ground clearance somewhat higher than a traditional car, but with the same characteristics, generally front-wheel drive, that offers comfort on asphalt while also having adventurous capabilities on dirt roads.

Kia presented the “concept car” KX3 at the Guangzhou Motor Show. It is the first time the Korean brand’s SUV, which will fill a gap in the C-segment, has been shown. It will be offered exclusively for the Chinese car market, so in principle it will not come to Europe.

The engine chosen for the KX3 is the 1.6-litre turbo direct-injection petrol engine (T-GDI) paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox (DCT). The combination of this powertrain and 4X4 traction allows great stability in all kinds of conditions.
