At the same time, more and more European analogues of Kia Picanto are produced at the Russian factories, that is, buyers receive Russian assembly cars at European prices.

What makes Kia cars make?


Each model from the assortment of the Korean company has its own individual characteristics: in the fact that Kia Picanto cars are collected only at one plant, there are advantages and disadvantages.

Where they collect Kiya Picanto - this is a rather frequent question. And here is the answer: assembly Kia ...

Someone and riding black:

The appearance of the new Kia Picanto. The corporation offers decisions both for a city trip and for the conquest of off-road.

These are the moments that you, standing in a traffic jam, will be able to determine in front or behind how many doors at the car.

A serious restyling took place in the year, as a result of which it simply changed everything that is described above.

This is a very difficult question, since all of Russia there are many options for the complete sets specifically for Russia, especially for Kazakhstan, I hope you will help me figure out until the end of their difference in the name of the sets of increasing options: Classic, Comfort, Luxe and Prestige in Brief: As you may have time to notice above, it is presented the most minimum as far as I know the equipment even without air conditioning, with completely unpainted front and rear bumpers and door handles.

As it turned out with unpainted bumpers, this is not the most minimal equipment, while the very first cars came to dealers in the year, people bought them with the condition that after some time the dealer would put the bumper under painting and they will be replaced by them for free.

Someone and rolling with black: a slightly enlarged wheelbase The distance between the front and rear wheels gave the car not only the space and comfort inside the cabin, but also stability with handling on the track. The car is now less renovated in turn and does not peck with a sharp stop.

New steering setting made even more convenient parking in tightness. A large help will be the rear view camera.

Navigating on records

After the presentation in the Chicago car dealerships, the car rapidly began to gain popularity. In total, three generations of Kia Sorento were released.

I generation

The story, as already mentioned above, began in 2002. It was then that everyone saw the first Kia-Sorento SUV. The manufacturing country is South Korea, but the assembly was carried out at several Kia Motors plants. The first was in the homeland of the car, the second - in Russia, the third - in the Philippines, and a little later, due to the growing demand from American buyers, it was customary to assemble in the United States.

As for the Russian plant, which was located in Izhevsk, then at that time there were only a screwdriver assembly. If you call this process with simple words, the finished elements came to the workshop where it was necessary to collect them together.

After 4 years, it was decided to upgrade the model. During the restyling, the auto design was changed and new, more powerful power units were installed.

II generation

The first generation was produced for 7 years, but in 2009 a new version of Kia was presented in the capital. The car manufacturer "Sorento" could change, because the assembly was performed in different places. As a rule, in this issue, for example, in Russia it was decided to abandon Izhevsk, and production was transferred to Kazakhstan. It was in Ust-Kamenogorsk that the plant was specifically built, which was called "Asia Avto". Kia Motors concern installed the most modern equipment there, so you can not worry about the quality of assembly, reliable cars are supplied to the Russian market. By the way, it is necessary to pay attention to that Korean specialists are intently watch the products that goes from the conveyor.

III generation

However, with one condition - the assembly was carried out on Avtotor. Back in 2013, the conveyor transported to Kaliningrad.

As for the convenience, Kia (the manufacturing country - South Korea) - the leader in this category, in the top version the car is impressive. At the first approach to the car, the backlight of the handles is immediately turned on, and with the direct start of the motor, the front wheel position is seen on the screen.

The dashboard in the car is completely new, plastic has changed, it has become matte and more convenient. The steering wheel is not particularly informative, even if there is directly on it, the adjustment buttons of the amplifier.

Behind the visibility is small, but clear. On the go, even in economy mode, the motor reserve is enough for a long time, since under the hood turbocharged diesel. In order to sit in a car, people with growth below average will have to try, there is a very high landing, and the lower part of the body itself - you feel in this crossover, as in the SUV.

The product is then sent to the welding conductor, where the body is formed. After that, on the dovarch region, additional points are combined. Then the geometric body parameters on special equipment are measured. For this, random car is taken and 300 points are tested according to the coordinates x, y, z.
