KMC SR5. A New Cross-Over for Iran's Crowded Market

The LIVAN is a joint venture brand between Lifan and Geely, but the most interesting thing about this brand is the time of its establishment. Because this brand was born in January 2022. The LIVAN brand is a relatively new company in the automotive industry, which was born from the joint efforts of two major Chinese automobile companies, Geely and Lifan.

KMC SR5 is one of the latest products of this brand that will be launched soon. As a newly arrived Chinese crossover, KMC SR5 intends to challenge its compatriot competitors in the Iranian market. It is worth mentioning that KMC SR5 is actually the same as LIVAN X5 Pro, which Kerman Motor plans to release this new crossover under the KMC SR5 brand to the domestic market.

The interior design of the cabin is completely modern and uses a minimal design. In the design of the cabin space of this Chinese crossover, we see the use of interwoven horizontal lines that have finally created a massive dashboard with broken lines and leather covering. The 12.3-inch digital cluster connected display is the first thing that catches the eye upon entering the cabin of the KMC SR5. 

Also, removing the physical keys and moving the controllers to the central display are other things that we see in most modern Chinese cars these days. The two-tone leather trim in this car, which is standard in brown and black, includes parts of the steering wheel and dashboard and creates a good harmony with the integrated seats.

KMC SR5 is a newly arrived Chinese crossover with a modern and up-to-date appearance, which is going to enter the Iranian market soon. The dimensions of this car are 4535 mm in length and 1845 mm in width. Also, the height of KMCSR 5 is equal to 1725 mm, which puts it in the category of mid-size urban crossovers. 

In the design of Kerman Motor's new crossover, the KMC SR5, the front grille, which is in the form of a "butterfly wing", uses parametric heat press technology for horizontal lines, which creates a three-dimensional visual effect. In this grille, the LIVAN logo is integrated and the design of the front LED lights is also coordinated with it. The massive bumper with sharp and broken lines have given this car an aggressive and attractive look.

KMC SR5, like many other Chinese crossovers in the Iranian market, supports a 1.5-liter four-cylinder turbocharger engine as usual, which complies with the Euro 6 emission standard. This engine is able to produce a force equivalent to 178 horsepower and a maximum torque of 190 Nm. It should be mentioned that the 7-speed automatic gearbox with two DCT clutches is responsible for transferring the power produced by the engine to the front wheels.

KMC SR5 includes 6 airbags for the driver, front, side and curtain passengers, ABS+EBD, ESC electronic stability control system, HAC hill hold control system, DAC downhill vehicle control system, auxiliary system in the equipment and safety features of KMC SR5. BOS emergency brake, TCS traction control system, BA brake assist system, TPMS tire pressure system, EPB electric parking brake, auto hold, rear parking sensor, 360 degree camera and immobilizer are equipped.
