Unusual Korean car "Kia-Opirus"

In an effort to occupy the niche of carsthe Korean concern "Kia Motors" created and launched into production a new luxury sedan called "Kia-Opirus". The name of the model was taken for granted. The car was named after the ancient city of Opir, which was famous for its shopping centers, spreading sandalwood and gold. Well, let's see if this Korean sedan really corresponds to its name.

Kia-Opirus: feedback from owners about appearance

The appearance of the sedan, as claimed by manymotorists, not Korean at all. In front of the "Kia-Opirus" recalls some model of the "Jaguar" or even the "Mercedes" E-class. According to the developers, such a design was invented specifically to give the car more presentability (and as we know, the last 10 years the company is leading in the production of "state employees"). A solid radiator grille and 4 main light headlights do speak of solidity, but at the same time one can not even remember the radical Korean lines in the body lines. This is a kind of "European" with an Asian platform.

Here the representative sedan looks no less spectacular. The main feature of the salon is the space. Inside the place is so much that it easily accommodates 4 adults.

Для водителя тоже пространство не урезали.If you push the chair back, a man with a height of 170 centimeters can not reach the steering column. By the way, the latter is regulated by an electric drive in several directions.

Спереди и сзади присутствуют элементы роскоши.That only there is a solid finish "under the tree", which does not melt and does not fade in the sun, as is the case with Chinese cars. Finishing material - leather (mostly light colors), very pleasant to the touch. In each configuration there is already a branded audio system with a CD player, power windows, heated seats and mirrors. Air conditioning is an essential attribute of every Korean sedan Kia-Opirus. What can I say, this car is simply created for lovers of luxury.

Specifications of the Korean sedan

The machine is initially manned with a powerfulpetrol engine in volume in 3,5 liters, developing up to 266 "horses" of draft. In pair with it the automatic transmission works. As car owners assure, the switching of steps on the car is carried out so silently and smoothly that even sometimes you confuse "automatic machine" with a variator. And now about other characteristics. The Korean sedan "Kia-Opirus" with its impressive length and solid mass has a very fast acceleration. Up to "hundred" the car accelerates in just 7.5 seconds.

Thus 266-strong motor consumes a minimumfuel. Even in the urban cycle, this figure does not exceed the mark of 12.9 liters. Of course, for the modern market this is somewhat overestimated, but given the engine's power, you understand how many liters of gasoline you need to "feed" such an aggregate.
