Accessories Kia Rio 3 restyling
There is an impressive variety of Rio tuning accessories and sometimes people ask: what to do in the beginning? We are ready to advise you to first consider something without which the use of a car cannot be so convenient and safe. On the floor of each car, you need to buy mats that retain moisture, this will help to avoid dampness. In a modern car, not only is there a possibility of corrosion, but wiring damage is real, which is even worse.
The next type of useful additions is the purchase of deflectors for windows and the hood. This tuning will protect the Kia Rio, the window deflectors will protect the interior from the wind, and the hood deflector from stones. The ObvesMag store presents a large number of different deflectors of individual shapes and sizes. For example, deflectors with chrome moldings: such accessories perfectly highlight the body line.
The main style of tuning Kia Rio 3 restyling, which our store is famous for, is the installation of an iron body kit and stainless steel thresholds. Comfortable footrests help with landing and make the use of SUVs as comfortable as possible. Without thresholds, it can be difficult for children and older people to keep shoes and clothes clean, without them it is inconvenient to clean the roof of snow or put a luggage box.
A durable stainless steel body kit allows you to save the hood and fenders of the car from contact with neighbors downstream and from other troubles. Various small accidents will pass by with the help of high-quality assembly and stainless steel. Such tuning for Rio 3 restyling is extremely important when driving on bad roads or in a cramped modern metropolis with an extra large number of cars.
We also have a huge number of accessories for tuning the interior and exterior of cars. Here you can order various linings for mirrors, moldings and bonnet stops. Any such accessory will make the appearance of your car more respectable and beautiful. You can install all our products and tuning yourself or in our technical center upon purchase. When we bring any accessories in Moscow by courier or to any city in Russia by logistics companies: it's fast and inexpensive.
If you didn’t know the old Kia Rio, then you won’t be able to find differences after restyling. If you put two cars side by side, you can find the difference, but only by looking at the design.
The first thing that becomes noticeable
We peer into already familiar features and understand that there are not so few differences, but they are small. The radiator grille has become smoother, and perhaps it only seems to us, but that's for sure that the headlight contours are bent. In more expensive versions, the foglights have changed shape, now they do not look like fangs.
We go in the back and see that only the bumper has been changed. I really want to tweak the lights, but they remained the same, but they offered a wider choice of disks, the package will include 15 and 16 inches in diameter.
Salon changes
They changed the material from which the interior is made and not only plastic, but also fabric. It is difficult to say whether this is good or bad, because car owners have not expressed any complaints before.
The audio system in the configuration plays normally, the sound is not perfect, but it does not cut the ear either. It’s bad that they didn’t change the climate control, which is annoyingly noisy and even the tape recorder does not clog this sound.
They did not refine the sound insulation, which is far from even average quality. The cabin is quite noisy, especially when driving at high speed, it is confusing and distracting from the road. As an advantage, we can note the presence of two sockets on the front dashboard for recharging.
The 3rd generation Kia Rio car has been produced in Russia since 2011, and at the beginning of 2015, the manufacturer prepared an updated version of this model, which was the first to be seen by representatives of the brand's official dealers at a special event in Sochi.
Note that the car exists in two versions - European and Chinese, where this model is known as K2. So, in Russia it is the second version that is offered.

Specifications
Sedan after restyling retained the same technical stuffing. Recall that two petrol engines of 1.4 and 1.6 liters are available for the car. The first develops 107 hp. (135 Nm at 5,000 rpm) and is paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox or a 4-band automatic. From zero to a hundred such a sedan accelerates in 11.5 seconds. (13.5 on automatic transmission), and the maximum speed, depending on the transmission, reaches 190 and 175 km / h, respectively.
A more powerful engine produces 123 hp. and 155 Nm at 4,200 rpm, and after an update in 2014, it is paired with a six-speed manual and automatic.

Review of Kia Rio 1.4 (Kia Rio) 2009
Hi all. I have rio Premium 1.6 AT maximum speed, 2012. Kia is not the kind of sharaga I would like to deal with in the future. If you need to do something under the guarantee, you need to prove it. A sea of time and nerves is needed. And there you yourself know what kind of "professionals", you think where they were recruited and for what merits. Quite far from the car. Especially the warranty department. Or the Koreans introduced such jokes, bought it, then your problems.
After buying a car, a month later the door trim began to creak. I drove into the salon, like smeared. After a while, the crickets reappeared. After about 3-4 months (I don’t remember exactly), the steering rack flew off. They replaced it on the second try.
At the first MOT, I found out that the cabin filter was not included from the factory. Apparently the Koreans decided to make money on filters.

Review of Kia Rio (Kia Rio) 2000
A year ago I decided to buy a car for 5000 USD. Before that, there were golf2, golf 3 and trade wind 4 .... in principle, I was looking for something from the Volkswagen family, but for the money I got only cars of 93-95 and when I watched them, I was sometimes horrified by their condition and how much invest in them after purchase. I decided to look for something else and after 4 months of searching I found HER ... .. when I saw the car I was very impressed with its appearance, (although there were small dents on the body) the year was 2000, then I struck the engine with its malleability and the suspension was a little harsh after a German. The car was Imported from Germany, there was 1 hostess, on the speedometer there were 113,000 km of native mileage. all this pushed me to buy a car, there was nothing better for this money ...
After the purchase, I set the alarm, changed the timing belt (I didn’t change the rollers because they were factory and in excellent condition), the suspension was overhauled (everything was perfect), I changed the anthers to the shruz, oil, all filters, candles, brake pads and that’s all ... .. let's go ... ... on the highway the car was very confident, once for the sake of curiosity it accelerated to 165 km per hour, the car just flew .... for a year I drove 17,000 km did nothing in the car, changed the oil and added it ... but on the body for a year a lot of small dents appeared ... when you overtake a car, small pebbles fly onto the body and dents remain, if you close the door harder, you can also make a dent (this is very disappointing) the consumption of a car is different from 7 in the city to 9, along the highway at a speed of 90 km per hour somewhere around 6.7 in fifth gear ....
And now about the biggest drawback, once I went with friends to nature and for the first time I drove a car off an asphalt road (by the way, about the roads in Belarus, they are in perfect condition both in the city and outside the proud, although they repair roads very often) there was such a feeling that I was driving in a tin can, everything was shaking from cheap plastic to the rear pillars, although I was driving at a speed of 40 km per hour. The car is not intended for driving on rural roads. I want to say about the cheapness of auto parts, there are any spare parts on our market, prices are moderate, some things cheaper than a German, for example, when they drove a car from Germany, they broke the windshield (there was a crack through all the glass, our technical inspection would not let this pass even a lot of money, believe me, I offered), I decided to seal the crack, they said 185 bucks, I was shocked and went to the market is just to find out how much glass costs for my car, it turned out that glass costs 65 bucks, new, not original (but made in Russia, in general, many spare parts with Russian growth, they say that in the suburbs there is a market only for Kia). many spare parts fit from Ford, Volkswagen Polo , Mazda 323 (sometimes I went around the market and just found out what was what).
