Kia K3 Prestige 2022 from Korea: the body is like Cerato's, the transmission is its own

Kia K3

The Korean Kia K3 and the Kia Cerato, familiar from the Russian market, share the body, but their equipment is different, and this is most noticeable in the gearbox.

Common body, different boxes

According to the catalog, the Korean K3 after the update is a sedan with a 1.6-liter petrol engine, a CVT and front-wheel drive. The Russian Cerato of the same period is represented in the catalog as 1.6 and 2.0 liter engines with a six-speed automatic transmission or manual transmission, so acquaintance with the Cerato helps to imagine the dimensions and interior, but does not say anything about the transmission of the Korean sedan.

The 2022 K3 Prestige from the description has a 1.6-liter petrol engine with 123 hp, front-wheel drive and an automatic transmission without specifying its type. The catalog for the Korean K3 of this period indicates a CVT, but which gearbox is on a particular car is visible only from its documents.

Prestige equipment

A rearview camera and parking sensors help navigate when parking, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connect the smartphone to the multimedia system. This Prestige also has keyless entry and button engine start. The set of another K3 Prestige is checked against its list of options, and versions of the Korean sedan after the update are collected in the Kia K3 catalog.

Payment to Vladivostok

On April 17, 2026, for the 2022 K3 Prestige with a mileage of 40,000 km, the total to Vladivostok was 1,679,588 rubles; for another car, you need your own calculation. Transportation further across the country is calculated separately – this is described on the delivery page in Russia, and the order procedure is described on the page of cars from Korea.
