Kaiyi X3 has 1 generation in these data. There is no restyling listed as a separate generation.
1 generation of the Kaiyi X3 starts on 2021-04-01. Stop is not measured (the generation is still open in the catalogue). Body type is SUV 5-doors. This generation has 2 versions: 1.5 i MT and 1.5 i CVT. Both versions also start on 2021-04-01, and stop is not measured for either of them.
Kaiyi X3 specs and engine
Both Kaiyi X3 versions use a 1499 gasoline engine with 4 cylinders in an Inline layout, 4 valves per cylinder, Front, transverse placement, and Direct injection (direct). Boost is not measured on both versions. Fuel is listed as 92. Peak torque (Nm) is not measured; engine speed for power and torque is not measured. Drive is FWD on both.
| Version | hp | kW | Nm | Displacement | Fuel | Cylinders | Layout | Boost | Gearbox | Gears | Drive |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.5 i MT | 116 | 85 | not measured | 1499 | 92 | 4 | Inline | not measured | Manual | 5 | FWD |
| 1.5 i CVT | 116 | 85 | not measured | 1499 | 92 | 4 | Inline | not measured | Variable | not measured | FWD |
1.5 i MT engine and drivetrain: 116 hp, 85 kW, 1499 displacement, gasoline, 4 cylinders, Inline, 4 valves per cylinder, Front, transverse, Direct injection (direct), fuel 92, Manual gearbox with 5 gears, FWD. Torque, boost, compression ratio, and bore × stroke are not measured.
1.5 i CVT engine and drivetrain: 116 hp, 85 kW, 1499 displacement, gasoline, 4 cylinders, Inline, 4 valves per cylinder, Front, transverse, Direct injection (direct), fuel 92, Variable gearbox, FWD. Number of gears, torque, boost, compression ratio, and bore × stroke are not measured.
The two versions have the same power: 116 hp on 1.5 i MT and 116 hp on 1.5 i CVT (difference 0 hp). Displacement is the same 1499 on both (difference 0).
Kaiyi X3 performance, mpg, and fuel economy
0–100, top speed, and fuel consumption are not measured for the Kaiyi X3 in these data. That applies to city, highway, and combined figures, and to both versions.
1.5 i MT: 0–100 not measured; top speed not measured; city consumption not measured; highway consumption not measured; mixed consumption not measured; CO2 not measured; eco class not measured.
1.5 i CVT: 0–100 not measured; top speed not measured; city consumption not measured; highway consumption not measured; mixed consumption not measured; CO2 not measured; eco class not measured.
Tank capacity is measured: 51 on 1.5 i MT and 51 on 1.5 i CVT (difference 0). Fuel grade is 92 on both. Without measured mpg, consumption, or CO2, the catalogue cannot rank the two versions on economy; they share the same engine size, power, fuel type, and tank.
Kaiyi X3 dimensions, weight, and ground clearance
Kerb weight is not measured for 1.5 i MT. Gross weight is not measured for 1.5 i MT. Ground clearance is 158. Tank is 51. Wheel sizes are not measured.
Kerb weight is not measured for 1.5 i CVT. Gross weight is not measured for 1.5 i CVT. Ground clearance is 158. Tank is 51. Wheel sizes are not measured.
Clearance is the same 158 on both versions (difference 0). Tank is the same 51 on both (difference 0). Without kerb weight, gross weight, and wheel sizes, mass and tyre comparison between 1.5 i MT and 1.5 i CVT is not available from these data.
Chassis items that are measured are the same on both versions:
- Front suspension: Independent, spring (1.5 i MT and 1.5 i CVT)
- Rear suspension: Semi-independent, torsion (1.5 i MT and 1.5 i CVT)
- Front brakes: Ventilated disc (1.5 i MT and 1.5 i CVT)
- Rear brakes: Disc (1.5 i MT and 1.5 i CVT)
Which Kaiyi X3 version to choose
The choice is between two 1 generation SUV 5-doors versions that share the engine and the chassis numbers in this catalogue.
1.5 i MT is the Manual version: 5 gears, 116 hp, 85 kW, 1499, gasoline, 4 cylinders, Inline, FWD, tank 51, ground clearance 158. If the decision is based on a counted gearbox, this is the version with 5 gears listed.
1.5 i CVT is the Variable version: gears not measured, 116 hp, 85 kW, 1499, gasoline, 4 cylinders, Inline, FWD, tank 51, ground clearance 158. Power is the same 116 hp as 1.5 i MT (difference 0 hp). Displacement is the same 1499 (difference 0). Tank is the same 51 (difference 0). Clearance is the same 158 (difference 0).
What these data do not separate: 0–100 not measured on both; top speed not measured on both; city / highway / mixed consumption not measured on both; kerb and gross weight not measured on both; wheel sizes not measured on both; torque not measured on both; boost not measured on both.
So the measured difference is the transmission: Manual with 5 gears on 1.5 i MT versus Variable on 1.5 i CVT. Everything else that is numbered in this catalogue is identical between the two versions.
Kaiyi X3 problems and reliability
This catalogue does not list fault rates, recall counts, or reliability scores for the Kaiyi X3. Those figures are not measured here. What is measured and can be restated without adding claims:
- One generation only (1 generation), from 2021-04-01, stop not measured.
- Body: SUV 5-doors.
- Two versions only: 1.5 i MT and 1.5 i CVT.
- One engine size in the table: 1499, 116 hp, 85 kW, gasoline, 4 cylinders, Inline, Direct injection (direct), Front, transverse, fuel 92, FWD.
- Chassis numbers that are present: ground clearance 158, tank 51, Independent, spring front suspension, Semi-independent, torsion rear suspension, Ventilated disc front brakes, Disc rear brakes.
Any reliability comparison that needs 0–100, mpg, weight, or eco class cannot be made from these data, because those values are not measured for 1.5 i MT and 1.5 i CVT.
