Owner reviews KIA Rio Hatchback III
The interior of the Kia Rio Hatchback III is spacious, the plastic is at least budgetary, but pleasant to the touch, the fabric is non-staining, the trunk is large, the landing is just wonderful. Not a very comfortable head unit. Light and visibility on "3", interferes with the front pillar and the large "ear" of the mirror, "rulits" wonderfully. The dynamics are also pleasing, in almost all ranges of engine operation, the car confidently picks up speed, but the behavior of the car in a rut on the Moscow Ring Road is not very pleasing, especially when rebuilding, the back of the car lives its own life.
We were very pleased with the brakes, the Kia Rio Hatchback III brakes just fine, since the front and rear disc brakes, good combination"brake-steering-gas". Gear shifting is a little awkward. Although the stroke of the handle is not large, I often turn on the 3rd instead of the 1st, the 4th instead of the 2nd, etc. Well, of course, this is also a matter of habit, but I think everyone who drove the “L-shaped” mechanics will experience the same thing at first. Short 1st gear, although I do not think that this is a drawback.
Advantages : appearance. Availability. Profitability.
Flaws : rigid suspension.

Kia Rio Hatchback III, 2012
I greet all happy Kia owners Rio Hatchback III. I can say that the car is good in terms of price-quality-equipment. I bought a car in the "Lux" configuration, so I was immediately able to appreciate and be glad that there is climate control, power accessories. Good handling, feels the road, deftly enters into turns. But the suspension is somewhat stiff. The manufacturer did not deceive regarding fuel consumption, but this, if you follow the odometer, at a speed of 90 - 110 kilometers per hour, the car "eats" 5.5 - 6 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers, but when you press the gas up to 150 kilometers per hour, then consumption immediately "jumps" to 10 liters per 100 kilometers. Of the "minuses" he immediately noted: there is no sound insulation on rear wheels(all grains of sand and pebbles are heard), short gears at the checkpoint, no full size spare, and the dokatka, the rear “seat” is folded together with the step, also at an angle. I will conclude that the Kia Rio Hatchback III is a great car for the city (it will crawl into every hole), it also behaves normally in nature (I have never clung to the bottom). So far, there are no significant problems, but after a while I will find out everything.
Advantages : good handling, feels the way,
Flaws : no soundproofing on the rear wheels. Short gears at the checkpoint. There is only evidence.

Bought a Kia Rio Hatchback III in April. Immediately the car began to pleasantly surprise me. The car is comfortable, the noise is excellent, the finishing materials are of high quality and I am satisfied with the ergonomics. Suitable for our roads, the main thing is not to press "on the gas" if you see what's ahead bad road. The motor is very sensitive, it immediately reacts, the acceleration dynamics are good, but I drove no more than 110 kilometers per hour, they advised me to run in for now. IN combined cycle Kia Rio Hatchback III "eats" 7.5 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers. On the highway it consumes from 5.5 to 6 liters per 100 kilometers. In short, I'm happy with the purchase, the car perfectly combines price and quality. On this moment there are no problems.
Advantages : comfortable. "Shumka" is great. Finishing materials. Ergonomics. Acceleration is good.
Flaws : there were none.

Likes: exterior 5. Good dynamics and sharp control for the 1.4 engine, shifting gears is a pleasure. Kia trunk Rio Hatchback III, in terms of volume, outperforms Kalina sedan (large dimensions can be transported). A warm stove and a quiet fan (but at -30 the windshield still freezes from the top edge when driving on the highway). Also pleased with the heated seats. Ground clearance is not inferior to Kalina (tested on various potholes on the way to the village / garden), but it is worth remembering that front bumper hangs low, which means you need to slow down in front of especially insidious bumps. at the feet rear passengers there is no tunnel and generally enough space even with a driver height of 185 cm. The interior of the Kia Rio Hatchback III is better than that of Solaris (it has an emphasis on the visible part of the dashboard, and the lower one is flawed), there is no feeling of cheapness. The Kia Rio Hatchback III has a larger rear window than the sedan (parking is easier). The cabin is quiet in comparison with the VAZ. Disc brakes in a circle (tenacious, at first nodding off in a traffic jam). Relatively cheap consumables and spare parts. The standard audio system has a good sound + the ability to read usb, aux (I often listen to metal, the sound pleases, but electro music with bass sounds more interesting here). Doesn't eat oil.
What I don't like: stiff suspension, but not deadly (probably the Koreans saved on it because of their good roads). Gluttonous for the break-in period, but after that it seems to stabilize in the region of 9.5-10 liters. Weak regular dipped beam (but it seems better than on Kalina, although I used it in it chinese lamps, because both expensive and cheap - all burned out in six months). Delicate paintwork and windshield (do not rub the glass with a scraper - it is scratched at the moment). "Horse" prices for maintenance from official dealers. rear doors Kia Rio Hatchback III have big gap, as if the doors were not completely sunk into the opening - all Rio have this. In the city, the 1.4 engine with air conditioning is dull, but not critical (I press the gas harder). It is almost not felt on the track (but I still turn it off before overtaking). wheel arches without “noise” (the rumble of rubber, pebbles, puddles is well heard), but this is solved by replacing the regular Nexen / Kumho with more quiet rubber, wheel arch liners with STP. The salon is quickly gathering dust, and crickets also appear (these are our roads, our realities). Easily burrows into the snow. Gas tank 43 liters - not serious. The 6th gear is missing (but in principle the fines are large, 110 km / h is comfortable).
Advantages : See review.
Flaws : See review.

My first new car. According to first impressions, the Kia Rio Hatchback III has a harsh suspension. But with the growth of numbers on the odometer and lowering the wheels to 2 bar, the suspension became comfortable. With regard to sound insulation, I can say that it is and there is something to compare. The engine is not audible at idle, and the sound in the cabin appears depending on the road surface, speed and tires. The salon is quite easy to disassemble and in a few hours, thousands of rubles, a worthy “shumka” is made with your own hands. In stores today, everything is sold and affordable. The engine is chain, reliable and hardy. Consumption 6.5-7 on the highway at quiet ride, 8-9 city. Music suits. Box new 6 speed automatic. Works great, switches smoothly, not noticeable. The salon is simple without any “Chinese” in the form of chrome inserts and poisonous blue lighting. Everything is in place in the car: power windows are in place like those of the “Japanese”, the seats are comfortable, adjustable like everyone else, the steering wheel is only in height. There are heatings: steering wheel, wiper rest areas, mirrors, rear window. The car is assembled, does not creak anything, moderately comfortable, reliable, starts and drives in any weather and is liquid on secondary market. This winter went to -45 degrees. Starts with half a turn after parking in a cold garage. Parking is very convenient due to its compact size, the clearance allows you to fearlessly drive almost anywhere within reason. Of course, there are things that annoy a spoiled person: there is no armrest - such a trifle, but you have to order it in an online store or from a dealer. Prices for spare parts are budget, but this does not concern me yet. IN general car I like it, it does the job and doesn't break.
Advantages : maneuverability. Convenience of parking. Equipment. Reliability.
Flaws : there is no armrest.

Before buying a Kia Rio Hatchback III was tested by Solaris, Kia Seed, Skoda Rapid and VW Polo. I almost bought a Sid, but then they swept it away, because of the ground clearance (already very low), but I also like to go out of town to the river. On the odometer 220 km, I left the first hundred with the climate on (it’s very hot here in the Kuban in last days) in the city with traffic jams and consumption received 13.7 on gasoline 95 g-energy. I filled in the usual 95 and the flow rate was 10 l / 100 km. The dynamics are excellent, the silence in the cabin (compared to the previous machine). Many will say that the suspension is harsh, but it suits me very much. Salon at Kia Rio Hatchback III better than Solaris and VW Polo Sedan. Options Prestige for manual transmission (I'm a fan of the "mixer"). The price is 770 thousand rubles. includes: alarm system with auto start, tinted rear semicircle, hood gas struts, rubber mats salon and trunk, alloy wheels R15, and a rearview camera (with a built-in screen in the rearview mirror) as a gift. Very pleased with the machine, though, and passed absolutely nothing.
Advantages : dynamics. Controllability. Maneuverability.
Flaws : while everyone likes it.

Kia Rio Hatchback III, 2014
For now Kia mileage Rio Hatchback III is about 400 km, so the following conclusions suggest themselves. Relatively soft suspension travel and maneuverability. Feels like in the third "Focus". The car is able to start and drive in first without the accelerator pedal. Although it is too early to talk about efficiency, but the BC shows an consumption of 8.2 in the city, although if you analyze it by checks from refueling, the consumption is actually about 9.5-10. Very comfortable fit and ergonomics, everything is at hand, even on the heated steering wheel there are multimedia control buttons. Head unit and 4 speakers - it's just a fairy tale, I did not expect such a good sound and bass at all. Although a couple of tweeters are missing to enrich the sound picture.
Of the minuses: small flaws in the assembly - on the first day, the sheathing panel rear pillar came out of the grooves of the trunk lining panel, forming a small “toothy” gap of 2-3 mm - in general, this does not interfere in any way - fortunately there are no crickets. I think to eliminate at the first opportunity from the OD. The air conditioner is rather weak for the southern regions, if you drive around the city / push in traffic jams at a temperature of 35-40 degrees. Celsius. But on the highway it just freezes. And yes, it adds a lot to the cost. In any case - I very rarely use it, since I have short trips around the city, and even then either early in the morning or late in the evening. Liquid metal - the hood flexes with a little finger pressure. The big downside is the light. Despite the clearance declared by the manufacturer at 160, the crankcase protection installation ate a good 3-4 centimeters. This turned the Kia Rio Hatchback III into a typical city car. Sad but true.
Advantages : maneuverability. Traction engine. Comfortable fit and ergonomics.
Flaws : build. Weak air conditioner. Metal. Clearance.

kia rio The hatchback is a mid-priced golf class car from Korea. She appeared on Russian market following the eponymous sedan in early 2012. Although the history of this car began much earlier (in 2005), the new generation of kia rio new in no way inferior in popularity to its predecessors.
And in technical and conceptual terms, even bypasses, which led to an incredibly high demand. The car is quite compact and visually attractive. Let's take a closer look at the features of this car.
The description of the kia rio new model looks quite elegant and to some extent even more attractive than the four-door sedan Rio, which is due to the successful configuration of the rear of the car and internal equipment.
Interesting! The front of the hatchback is identical to the front of the sedan, but the rest of the car turned out to be more sporty. There is a nice opportunity to equip the Rio with LED lights.
The interior is thought out and executed very high quality - dirt-repellent fabric on the upholstery and seats, in expensive modifications, chrome trim. Ergonomic seats will provide comfort to passengers, and the driver can easily adjust not only the seat, but also the steering wheel - its height and reach, which will allow you to drive the car with convenience.
The hatchback is shorter than the sedan by 25 cm (its length is 4120 mm with a height of 1470 mm and a width of 1700 mm) and actually does not have a rear overhang, in any case, it is almost invisible outwardly. Therefore, kia rio new makes it possible to more accurately feel the dimensions of the car when driving and maneuvering, and this is a huge plus when driving around the city and on highways when cornering. The trunk seems small compared to the sedan - and indeed, the volume in the standard state of 389 liters, but it can be increased by removing the removable shelf.
The rear door of the kia rio is wide enough, so transportation problems large oversized cargo hatchback does not. Wheelbase 2570 mm and do not differ from the sedan. Full mass the car is 1,565 kg, but equipped with a little more than a sedan (albeit only 5 kg) - 1,520 kg. The thickness of the metal from which the body is made is not too large, but it does not differ from other car models. But this fact does not affect the power elements of the car in any way - they are made according to all standards.
In places of possible deformations, body parts are reinforced, which implies less deformation in the event of a collision. Difference from other cars kia series rio, but not only in appearance and design conveniences, kia rio new differs from other cars of this model range.
First of all, it is distinguished specifications, well equipped and driving performance and reliability. The car has seven basic configurations and an excellent set of minimum options even in the cheapest configuration (ABS, air conditioning, front airbags and other options), which makes this car even more attractive to buy.
About the technical characteristics of kia rio new
Engines Hatchback kia new equipped with gasoline engines 1.4 liters with a capacity of 107 hp and 1.6 liters with a capacity of 123 hp. Max Power both motors give at 6300 rpm - it is unlikely that it will be possible to accelerate the car to such speeds, but the characteristics are very decent. The same engines are on the sedan of the same name.
Both engines of naturally aspirated design without turbocharging and others technical innovation, work in accordance with the usual injection design And port injection. Each unit has four cylinders and 16 valves. At the same time, engines operate according to Euro-4 standards on AI-92 gasoline.
A maximum of 43 liters of fuel can be poured into the tank. The 1.4-liter engine is an excellent "aspirated", which, when combined with manual transmission gives five gears good dynamics, but it can be successfully combined with a four-speed automatic transmission. The torque in this case is 135 Nm. Its peak is quite high - 5,000 revolutions, accelerating the car to such revolutions is problematic and will significantly increase fuel consumption. But for its segment, the car shows good performance - a top speed of 185 km / h and acceleration to hundreds in 11.5 seconds.
The manufacturer proposes to supplement the 1.6-liter engine with a six-speed manual transmission or automatic transmission. Torque is higher than the previous engine at 155Nm and a lower peak for those values at 4200rpm. At the same time, 1.6 liter engine gives more fast acceleration up to 100 km / h (in 10.3 seconds) and a top speed of 190 km / h, but modifications with automatic transmission are slightly slower in both cases.
Perhaps, for six range gearboxes, the power of this engine may not seem enough, most likely, this is due to the manufacturer's desire to make the car more economical to use, but when accelerating on the highway, this fact may interfere effective work engine. The fuel consumption of this car is the same as that of the sedan.
When traveling around the city, an average of 7.6 liters per 100 km is consumed with manual transmission and 8.5 with automatic transmission, on the highway, of course, less - 4.9 liters and 5.2 liters, respectively. But at the same time, do not forget that city trips with a six-speed manual transmission are much more economical.
The undercarriage is quite well assembled - it is an independent front axle with MacPherson struts and a stabilizer roll stability And torsion beam behind. Disc brakes and all this is complemented by power steering. From this we can conclude that it will be easy to drive a car in any conditions, and trips even on rough roads will be quite comfortable.
Results: in general, kia rio new is a modern car, technically well equipped, and therefore quite reliable and safe means of transportation, when creating which the manufacturer took into account the high requirements of the consumer as a appearance, and about performance characteristics. At the same time, taking into account price category this car V basic configuration, then it becomes quite attractive to the buyer and corresponds to the ratio of price and quality.
Kia Rio hatchback 2016-2017 is an updated five-door based on the 3rd generation Rio sedan. The first photos of the restyled version of the KIA K2 hatchback for the Chinese market (we sell this model as Rio) appeared in April 2015, and the car reached official dealers in early summer.
The case of the sedan clearly demonstrated that new Rio for Russian and Chinese markets completely identical, so that the originally presented pictures of the hatchback gave a visual representation of the appearance of the updated model. This was later confirmed in official photos.
Options and prices KIA Rio 3 Hatchback 2017
MT5 - mechanics 5-speed, AT - automatic 4 and 6-speed.
At the front, the Kia Rio hatchback received the same changes as the sedan - we are talking about a new bumper with LED running lights integrated into it above the foglights, as well as a retouched radiator grille and optics.
Behind the five-door has got redesigned lights, trunk lid and bumper. The interior received improved finishing materials, a tweaked front panel, as well as a new steering wheel and head unit.
The technique remained unchanged. The base engine for the Kia Rio 3 hatchback (characteristics) is a 1.4-liter engine with 107 hp, available in tandem with a 5-speed manual or 4-band automatic. But the 123-horsepower 1.6-liter unit is combined with more modern six-band boxes.
Reception of orders in Russia started on May 14, 2015, and sales began on June 1. At the time of sale kia price Rio hatchback 2017 started from 680,900 rubles for a car with a base engine and manual transmission. The version with a gun cost at least 740,900 rubles, and for a car with a 1.6-liter engine, it was necessary to pay from 750,900 rubles. Top option models was estimated at 942,900.
Standard equipment includes front airbags, ABS, disc brakes in a circle, air conditioning and front power windows. Diode running lights, light sensor, electric heating are now available for a surcharge windshield, heated washer nozzles, etc.
Born in the second generation Kia Rio hatchback showed itself to the world in the fourth quarter of 2005. The Koreans have created a unique five-door car that has won the hearts of many motorists around the world.
Although the Korean company entered the European market only in 2000, it immediately took the bull by the horns, creating a huge demand for its cars. Critics were left to silently watch the gigantic pace of sales of samples of the Korean auto industry.
Despite the fact that the hatchback appeared only after the introduction of sedans and station wagons to world markets, the desire of consumers to purchase a car instantly reached the "colossal" mark.
Especially in 2010, when the famous German designer Peter Schreyer created another “miracle”, completely changing body characteristics car and adding colors to the palette.
Appearance
To say that the Koreans came up with something new, ultra-modern in terms of appearance car, means sarcastic. Much to the regret of fans of the series cheap cars the auto giant from Seoul almost did not touch the exterior.
The old “Korean” copied himself, redrawing the radiator grill, already disgusting for the fan look, the familiar bumper designed by the German a few years ago, and the headlights, boring and monotonous, especially for consumers with creative thinking.
But there is also a small plus - lighting equipment received LED equipment running lights what's in fashion right now modern cars more high class. However, the innovation does not apply to all configurations, but only to selected expensive variations.
In profile, the car looks decent and without the effect of vulgarity. This is confirmed by the elegant molding along the windows, made of chrome steel. Recognition of the model conveys an unusual rear bumper unpainted plastic. Small changes include the wheels of the "Korean", which have acquired an updated design.
The dimensions haven't changed much. increased body length - 4120 mm. Width and height, on the contrary, decreased - 1700 and 1470 mm, respectively. Clearance - the usual dimensions for this category of machines - 160 mm.
By by and large list is exhausted. Exhibiting car models on one podium before and after restyling, you can note the changed set of color schemes. There are more of them - 10 options - for every taste. For example, a brownish color of coffee appeared, as well as a palette of fresh blue tint reminiscent of the sea.
As a small conclusion on the exterior, you can identify the main points of differences in bodies. According to manufacturers and many experts, the hatchback is more associated with sports competitions. Yes, and it looks more fit and younger, and therefore focused mainly on young people who prefer a gambling style of driving. The sedan is modest cozy car, collected for family trips for groceries to the nearest supermarket.
Interior
IN new version Koreans decided to make a car emphasis on ergonomics- every detail in the cabin finds its application, all the space inside the car is perfectly distributed, calculated and verified, as in mathematics, and there is nothing superfluous. Korean manufacturer showed his competitors how spacious and roomy a car should be.
Since we are talking about free space, you can mention the trunk. Its volume is 389 liters. Not every hatchback can boast of such dimensions. Especially since the space can be increased thanks to the folding rear seats, which allow you to free up space for oversized cargo. The sedan, of course, is far away - that luggage compartment holds 500 liters.
The most important advantage of interior decoration updated Kia Rio hatchback is her dashboard.
It immediately catches the eye - bright contrasting lighting, pursuing the main trends of the season, distinguishes the car from other competitors.
Successfully underwent cosmetic surgery trim. Seat upholstery no longer looks as cheap as on the "second" Kia Rio. It uses soft velvet textiles of the highest standard. Also changed internal elements controls - from the steering column levers to the keys of the multimedia system. They have decreased, but this has only made it easier to navigate.
An interesting innovation steering column equipped with hydraulic booster. Now she, as a constructor, can change sizes. The driver can now independently adjust the departure. A very useful feature for lovers of long country trips. The steering wheel itself has become larger and pleasant to the touch.
The minimum equipment of the car allows you to enjoy features such as air conditioning, climate control, heated seats and steering wheel, voice control of the audio system with high quality speaker sound and many other options.
Also, the car has a central locking system and a START / STOP system, which revives the car with a simple press of a button, and by tracking information about the current state " iron horse» handles the on-board computer.

Specifications
The Korean company did not present any special surprises in the latest restyling of the car with a “tiger smile”. What is a hatchback, what is a sedan - both cars got the same "Engines" for 1.4 and 1.6 liters.
There is nothing extraordinary about them - gasoline "aspirated" without any turbocharging or injection. The units have 4 cylinders with 16 valves. They prefer the 92nd, which will enter fuel tank up to 43 liters.
Looking at the aggregates in more detail, it should be noted that both engines are good in power to volume ratio.
"Younger brother" gives out 107 liters. With. with a torque of 135 Nm. It seems solid, but the number of revolutions "rolls over" - 6300. But the flight to "hundreds" on such a "handsome" is quite good - 11.5 seconds. Yes, and the "maximum speed" is not small - 190 km / h.
Fuel consumption is standard for a car class - 7.6 liters per 100 km in the city.
The "big brother" has the same characteristics as the "younger", only he has more "horses" - 123 units with a torque of 155 Nm. With increased power reserves, the time required to accelerate to 100 km / h is reduced to 10.3 seconds.
But fuel consumption is growing - 8.5 liters in urban conditions. Max speed limited to 190 km/h.
Transmissions for both bodies are the same. 1.4 liter engine is paired with two types of boxes: 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic. The mechanics on such an “engine” looks much better than an automatic, since the latter has the traditional property "long thought".
Things are better with the 1.6-liter unit. He also has two transmissions in his “partners” ( mechanics and automatic) and both with 6 steps. Availability a large number ranges - this is undoubtedly a plus, Korean auto industry does not stand still. However, the engine turned out to be not too powerful - it does not “pull” the updated box.
Kia Rio promo brochure:
In terms of chassis, the consumer also did not see remarkable changes. Independent suspension with McPherson struts and stabilizers and a familiar beam on rear axle - the basis of the chassis of the car.
Modernization touched only shock absorbers, which are now equipped with modern bypass valves, and a steering rack with an updated aluminum support sleeve.
Five-door hatchback "Rio" of the third generation celebrated the premiere at Geneva Motor Show in March 2011, but before Russian buyers he got much later than the sedan - March 1, 2012. In 2014, the car, along with the three-volume model, underwent an update that affected the technical part.
In May 2015, the Koreans announced another restyling of the Kia Rio hatchback, as a result of which it received the same metamorphoses as the four-door. The exterior of the car was separated by new bumpers, redesigned lighting, more chrome elements and rims of a new design, and the interior - modified control panels for “music” and “climate”, new steering wheel yes improved finishing materials.
The appearance of the five-door is sporty and temperamental. The front part of the Kia Rio in this type of body completely repeats the “face” of the sedan - the signature “tiger nose” radiator grille, slanted headlights with lenses and a moderately embossed bumper with compact foglights.
But the profile is tailored differently. The hatchback has a fairly dynamic and swift silhouette, which is emphasized by a sloping hood, short overhangs and an almost straight roof line.
The compact rear of the five-door "Rio" looks neat and harmonious, in many ways even prettier than that of a sedan, which is facilitated by stylish lights (optionally with LED filling) and a large bumper with a pseudo-diffuser.
Length Korean hatchback is 4120 mm, for other indicators there are no differences with the three-volume model: height - 1470 mm, width - 1700 mm, and the wheelbase and clearance indicators are respectively 2570 mm and 160 mm.
The interior of the hatchback "Rio" in its architecture and design completely repeats interior decoration sedan. The car has a simple and concise design, good level functionality and thoughtful arrangement of all necessary controls. Dashboard represented by "three deep wells", which, depending on the configuration, can be either conventional or Supervision.
The interior of the five-door is mostly made of hard and budget plastic, but thanks to the high-quality assembly and tightly fitted panels, there are no unnecessary squeaks and noises in the car. Expensive versions hatchbacks are distinguished by carbon-look trim and leather-wrapped steering wheel, gearshift lever and handbrake. The front seats can accommodate even tall riders without any problems, since they move a decent distance (240 mm), and the steering wheel is adjustable in height. Of the amenities, you can highlight the armrest and several cup holders.
Three adult passengers can sit freely on the second row - there is enough space in the knees and overhead (due to the shape of the roof, even a little more than in a sedan), but the width of the cabin is a little let down. But the low transmission tunnel is a big plus for the Korean hatchback, because it does not take up space at the feet of a person sitting in the middle.
The trunk of the Kia Rio in the five-door version has a fairly modest luggage compartment - its volume is 389 liters. However, the second-row seat back is retracted in a ratio of 60:40, thereby increasing the space reserve to 1045 liters. True, a flat cargo area does not work, a small step is formed. At the same time, the opening is wide enough, so if necessary, you can transport large items or long lengths.
About the technical characteristics. The Kia Rio hatchback is equipped with the same petrol units, as on the sedan of the same name. This is a 1.4-liter "aspirated", producing 107 Horse power and 135 Nm of peak torque, and a 1.6-liter engine with a return of 123 “horses”, which generates 155 Nm. The first is combined with a "mechanics" for five gears or with a 4-speed "automatic", the second - with a 6-speed manual gearbox or automatic transmission.
Concerning dynamic characteristics, then the 107-horsepower hatchback is slower than the three-volume model by 0.1 seconds in acceleration to the first hundred, regardless of the transmission, but the 123-horsepower versions have similar figures.
The fuel consumption of a five-door is no different from that of a sedan.
Kia chassis layout Rio next – independent suspension front and semi-independent rear. MacPherson struts can be seen on the front axle, and a torsion beam on the rear axle. Disc brakes are involved in a circle, and hydraulic booster is in the steering mechanism.
Options and prices. In the Russian market, the updated "Rio" hatchback is available in the following trim levels - Comfort, Luxe, Prestige, Premium.
A car in the basic version has a “price tag” from 569,900 to 649,900 rubles, for which you get air conditioning, audio preparation, a pair of airbags, ABS, electrically adjustable and heated mirrors, as well as front power windows.
The remaining equipment levels are offered at the same price as in the case of the sedan. For example, the maximum version of a five-door is estimated at 809,900 rubles, and among its “privileges” are 16-inch rims, LED rear lights, system exchange rate stability ESC, carbon look interior trim, rear sensors parking and keyless entry technology.
