Unfortunately, the new K3 will not be available for sale in Australia. This is because it will not be manufactured as a right-hand drive vehicle. Instead, the company will be focusing on developing markets that have less stringent safety and emissions standards. These markets include Latin America, the Middle East, and South-East Asia.
