@[email protected] K3(Current Generation) is discontinued in korea, and K4 will not be launcing in korea.
K4 is new generation of C-segment sedan of KIA.
just not launched in korea, still selling in US.
@maka Oh, you can understand English?
That's very helpful.
I misunderstood K4 means current model of Kia Forte in Korea.
Thank you for your point.
Are C-segment sedans not so popular in Korea? Did compact SUVs take the place of them?
@maka I heard the most selling import car in Korea is BMW 7 series few years ago. I got that's why.
The situation in Japan is a little different. Yes, you can see a lot of large executive sedans in Tokyo (ex. Toyota Crown, Mercedes S Class, Lexus LS)
But today, some of them are going to be replaced by luxury minivans like Toyota Alphard/Vellifire. Because you can use them as a driven office and they can melt away into the crowd. So they are very popular among politicians and celebrities.
@maka Luxury SUVs are also popular in Japan. I often see Toyota Crown Cross, Tesla Model X, Range Rover, BMW X5, Mercedes GLS.
@[email protected] as least 2015, demand and prefer of sedans are higher than SUVs.
but currently, most of sales of sedan is pointed to E-segement sedan like Hyundai Grandeur, Kia K8, Genesis G80.
yes, these E-segment sedans has no replacement. almost over the half of demand is demand for E-segment sedans.
situation changed, and sedan is falling down in current situation.
