The debut of Kia Pa Rui is said to be because Kia executives feel that Kia should have a high-end off-road vehicle as powerful as the Prado. However, when Kia Pa Rui officially debuted, the feedback given by the market made Kia shut the door.
Just when everyone thought that this generation of Kia Ba Rui would come to an end, at the Seoul International Motor Show in March this year, Kia officially released the Masterpiece concept car as a preview of the new generation of Kia Ba Rui. And half a year later, Kia officially released the official pictures and related information of the new generation of Ba Rui. At the moment when hard-core off-road vehicles are declining day by day, the release of the new generation of Kia Pa Rui is undoubtedly a huge highlight.
Although it is designated as a new-generation product, judging from the official pictures released by Kia, the new-generation Kia Ba Rui is more like a major facelift on the current model-the new car completely continues the body of the old model. The only difference is that the details of the front face and the rear of the car have been greatly modified and adjusted to cater to the new generation of Kia’s family-oriented design.
In terms of the front face, the new generation of Kia Ba Rui basically continues the design of the previous concept car, fully integrating the image of the headlights into the details of the tiger-style air intake grille. The main light source and auxiliary light source are inlaid into the decorative panel with LED light source, and the traditional lampshade is cancelled. As a result, the sense of technology of the entire front of the car has been greatly improved. The fog lamps on both sides of the front bumper are also composed of LED light sources, and the front bumper also adds more shape changes and embellishment of details.
At the rear of the vehicle, the red trim of the new car forms an integrated taillight. Similarly, the interior of the taillight group also echoes the design of the front of the car, and is composed of dot matrix LED light sources. The image of the rear spoiler has also been redesigned. Under the rear bumper, the new car uses double-sided exhaust pipes to enhance the sense of movement.
In terms of power, the new car released for the first time is still equipped with a 3.0L V6 twin-turbocharged diesel engine with a maximum output of 256 horsepower and a maximum torque of 560 Nm. It is expected that there will be a gasoline version of the model in the future, and the power output will be consistent with the current model.
In terms of the market, it is expected that the new generation of Kia Ba Rui will officially debut at the end of this year.
