<p>Talk about cars made in Uganda and listen to what <a href="http://kiiramotors.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kiira Motors</a> has to offer. The Government funded corporation came to the limelight in 2011 after unveiling their first Made in Uganda Kiira EV POC that uses electricity instead of Gas for full throttle performance. Earlier this year, the company unveiled the Kiira EVS that still trends as the best model ever made in Uganda succeding the EV Smark.</p>



<p>Away from the fact that Kiira Motors doesn&#8217;t fully manufacture all the Vehicle parts, the Kiira EVS sparked off a journey that will full production of Vehicles in Uganda pimped with a local tale to performance and terrain performance as announced by the company.</p>



<p>Luckily, we got a chance to see what the Kiira EVS has to offer with proper sight of both the Interior and Exterior finish of the car. Just like any other kits we&#8217;ve had a chance to review, <a href="https://techpointmag.com/itel-p33-unboxing/">first Impressions of a product</a> add up to our overall thoughts about a piece with our<a href="https://techpointmag.com/tecno-spark-3-review/"> Spark 3 touch</a> leading the latest pike with a notch display to its norm. Nonetheless, here is what the Kiira EVS looks like and what it has to offer.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="1024" height="678" src="https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/1kiira-1024x678.jpg" alt="Kiira EVS Car" class="wp-image-7346" srcset="https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/1kiira-1024x678.jpg 1024w, https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/1kiira-300x199.jpg 300w, https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/1kiira-768x509.jpg 768w, https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/1kiira.jpg 1600w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption>The Kiira EVS Interior</figcaption></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">First Impressions of the Kiira EVS</h2>



<p>By first sight, you can easily think the Kiira EVS is just another Toyota Caldina pimped with a black finish to its exterior. However, the Kiira EVS and front bonnet finish serve an exclusively different touch to the car design. The Electric Vehicle purposes a V shape with metal rolls finishing the layout with a Whale-like formation.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="678" src="https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/kiira-ev-1024x678.jpg" alt="kiira evs car" class="wp-image-7352" srcset="https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/kiira-ev-1024x678.jpg 1024w, https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/kiira-ev-300x199.jpg 300w, https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/kiira-ev-768x509.jpg 768w, https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/kiira-ev.jpg 1600w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption>The Front view of the Kiira EVS with its Vshaped vertical metal rolls making a statement on the Crested Crane Emblem</figcaption></figure>



<p>As a fact, all Kiira Motors finished cars pose the exclusive V-shape which could be the unique texture added to the Crested crane emblem making all cars stand out loud in a traffic lane. On the other hand, the Kiira EVS is a two-door beast with stretchable driver seats providing a gateway to the dual back seats of the vehicle making it a sport like 4 Seater car on the road.</p>



<p>Either way, the dashboard looks excellent with a brown finish though its automatic gear lever is a disappointment as it seems have been handpicked from an old Toyota make. As if that&#8217;s not enough, the car body sounds bulky to its shape as the Interior further appears vintage as compared to 2005 -present vehicles. </p>



<p>But then, one man&#8217;s favorite could be another&#8217;s negative, So the car interior and electronics appear minimal but could sound great in another driver&#8217;s hands.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="678" src="https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/kiira-evs-1024x678.jpg" alt="kiira evs car" class="wp-image-7345" srcset="https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/kiira-evs-1024x678.jpg 1024w, https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/kiira-evs-300x199.jpg 300w, https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/kiira-evs-768x509.jpg 768w, https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/kiira-evs.jpg 1600w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption>The rear view of the proudly made in Uganda Kiira EVS car</figcaption></figure>



<p>Back to its exterior, the car appears like a well-finished dodge once it hits the road. The car rear poses a non-spoiler boot pimped with a reverse camera__automatically triggered in driver R mode. On the other hand, don&#8217;t expect an opening roof on the Kiira EVS, but the front V-shaped bumper has a well-ventilated finish inking better AC performance for the car as its 3 LED bulb headlights further make it a beautiful beast on the road.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How much the Kiira EVS costs after production</h2>



<p>During the Vehicle launch earlier this year, Kiira Motors revealed that a new Kiira EVS vehicle will cost $35,000 after production. Though only one Kiira EVS has been made so far, the company opened a pre-orders window for anyone willing to buy the proudly made in Uganda and have it delivered once more units are brought to life.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="678" src="https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2kiira-1024x678.jpg" alt="Kiira Evs car by Kiira Motors" class="wp-image-7348" srcset="https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2kiira-1024x678.jpg 1024w, https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2kiira-300x199.jpg 300w, https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2kiira-768x509.jpg 768w, https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2kiira.jpg 1600w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption>The Kiira EV Driver control seat and dashboard</figcaption></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Our Verdict</h2>



<p>A Vintage in 2019 is all we can term the Kiira EVS as, the electric vehicle has a perfect finishing, but doesn&#8217;t deserve a 100% slot in the modern car generation. Furthermore, $35,000 is way too high for the EV, when compared with cars in the same price range, elegant features and designs are all that leave the imported stall empty and a bulk line of proudly Made in Uganda Kiira EVS. So, we think the price for a vintage like beast it is, deserves a 50% slash to make it a must buy car in Uganda.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span class="dropcap dropcap-simple">A</span>mong the countries working hard to produce cars in Africa, Uganda is one of those that have strived to put a finished car to the top over foreign manufacturers. The Kiira EV Smack was first unveiled in 2014 and the car model now has a new version being tested in Kampala.</p>
<p>The Kiira hybrid EVS is an upgraded concept of the original smack which was introduced as a Sedan series entrant to join the Kiira POC in making the revolutionary car business a dream come true in Uganda. For the past few days, the internet has been populated with pictures of the new Kiira EVS, but here is what you really need to know about the new hybrid car.</p>
<h2>It can use either electricity and fuel</h2>
<p>Imagine if you owned a car that allows you to choose between driving with electricity or using your fuel pump to drive on the road. The new Kiira EVs relies on two engine mechanisms that allow it to either use electric power or spice up the engine with 1 litre for 10 kilometers within the city and 16Kms on a highway.</p>
<h2>It&#8217;s fuel efficient</h2>
<p>Most cars are manufactured with big litre fuel pumps these days with capabilities to consume even more than what&#8217;s prescribed depending on the on-road speeds. Well, the Kiira EVS ships in a fuel-efficient engine that shrinks usage depending on the mode of route taken. For instance, 1 litre can push you for 10 Kms and 16KMs on town service and a high way respectively. This implies that you spend less while driving this made in Uganda car on a road trip far away from your home zone.</p>
<h2>Has an automatic gear transmission system</h2>
<p>For those who love manual gear transmissions, that is yet to come in the near future, but for now, the Kiira EVs features an automatic transmission system that is default for the car series. However, we don&#8217;t know whether manual versions will be produced by KMC.</p>
<h2>Uses hybrid sensors to prevent collisions and execute car functions</h2>
<p>In case you thought a car made in Uganda would suck and not feature any cool up to date features, then you better check out the proclaimed Kiira EV beast. During the on-road test to Parliament, doors had auto locks and super awesome collision warning features that can warn you incase you&#8217;re about to collide with another car.</p>
<p>Well, these are some exclusive features we didn&#8217;t expect to be featured on a car made in Uganda. Though, we don&#8217;t have an in-depth preview of what the car is capable of since onroad tests were performed by TV personalities alone. Nonetheless, this is a great innovation from Kiira motors and it doubles as the best Sedan ever produced in Uganda.</p>
