KAIYI X3 Pro

The Kaiyi X3 Pro features a minimalist yet high-tech-looking cabin. Inside, you have adequate room for four passengers. However, seating three tall and large passengers at the back might be a bit of a struggle. On the bright side, you get a pretty decent trunk space for this vehicle’s size. 

Upfront, its dashboard offers a nice balance of touch-controlled features and traditional physical buttons. In terms of entertainment and information accessibility, the X3 Pro is equipped with a 10.25-inch LCD central infotainment display. Meanwhile, drivers have access to a 7-inch color LCD instrument panel, a multi-function steering wheel, and a modern-looking lever. For increased passenger convenience, this SUV also comes with three USB ports (front: 2, rear: 1), a front 12V power socket, and anti-pinch power windows.

The Kaiyi X3 Pro features a modern exterior design, which could definitely catch the attention of both Millennial and Gen Z drivers. At the front, it sports a stylish grille, which displays a unique-looking pattern. It has an assertive flare courtesy of its sharp LED headlights with LED DRLs. 

Its side profile is enhanced by sleek character lines and dynamic-looking 18-inch aluminum wheels. Furthermore, its rear slightly resembles the Chery Tiggo 4 Pro’s back end. It features C-shaped LED taillights with a modern-looking strip in the middle. Additionally, a pair of exhausts adds a touch of sportiness to its overall appearance on the road.

In terms of dimensions, the Kaiyi X3 Pro measures 4,400 mm in length, 1,831 mm in width, and 1,653 mm in height. This SUV also has a 2,632-mm wheelbase. And, for a more premium appeal, it comes with a panoramic sky screen with a built-in antenna.

The Kaiyi X3 Pro utilizes a front independent MacPherson Strut and a rear Torsion Beam. Admittedly, its suspension setup is on the stiffer side of things. Hence, bumps and other road imperfections are noticeable inside the cabin. But, on the plus side, it offers sharp steering and can hit turns or corners quite well. Ultimately, this SUV thrives on smooth concrete roads. 

The Kaiyi X3 Pro is powered by a 1.5L turbocharged gasoline engine that produces a maximum power output of 108 kW (145 hp) and a maximum torque of 230 Nm. This SUV runs on a continuously variable transmission system and is equipped with a Sport mode. 

Off the line, this SUV is surprisingly punchy. It is capable of performing overtakes on free-flowing highways. And, thanks to its smooth CVT, you’ll enjoy driving this vehicle both inside and outside the city. This would make a cost-efficient transportation for your daily Metro Manila commute since its engine frugally consumes fuel even when driving in mixed conditions.

The Kaiyi X3 Pro is equipped with multiple safety features such as a 360-degree camera, a tire pressure monitoring system, driver seatbelt warning, multiple airbags, an ISOFIX child seat safety locking device, child-protector rear door locks, as well as a speed-sensitive autolock function. 

Aside from these, its braking setup is also supported by an anti-lock braking system, electronic brakeforce distribution, traction control system, and an emergency brake assist among others. This SUV utilizes ventilated discs for front braking, while solid discs for rear braking.

The Kaiyi X3 Pro offers a sweet spot for budget-oriented consumers and career-driven young adults who are in the market to buy an affordable crossover SUV that is nimble and novice-friendly to maneuver inside the city, yet remains capable on the highway.
