From Chinese version new kia Rio 2018 for Russia is distinguished by a redesigned front end - our car has retained a large head optics, extending far to the wings, but received a narrower grille and a different bumper with vertical slots for air intakes on the sides.

This solution resembles similar elements on the older Optima GT, but here they integrated small round foglights, complemented by strips of diode running lights. Unlike Solaris, where the rear license plate moved from the bumper to the trunk lid, here it remains on the bumper (taxi drivers will be unhappy).

In addition, a photo of Kia Rio 2018 in a new body gives out a fashionable jumper between the rear lights across the entire width of the trunk lid, while the profile of the car as a whole resembles its predecessor, from which the overall silhouette remains, but the characteristic lining on the front fenders has disappeared.

The automatic transmission selector, buttons on the center console, and air ducts for rear passengers, which are available in the Chinese Kia K2, for some reason was not in the car for our market.

But inside the Kia Rio was more spacious. The increased dimensions of the sedan made it possible to increase the width of the cabin by 18 millimeters, and the distance between the rows of seats increased by 24 mm. Unless the trunk volume has decreased to 480 liters, but the loss of 20 liters is not so great.

But the first one is completely new motor Kappa family, and the second is an upgraded version of the previous engine, which acquired a second phase shifter and intake manifold variable length.

recoil base engine amounts to a tax-favorable 100 hp. (previously it was 107), and the peak torque has decreased from 135 to 132 Nm, but it is already available at 4,000 rpm against 5,000 before. A more powerful unit produces the same 123 hp. and 156 Nm, and both are paired with a six-speed manual and automatic.

Alternative

The Kia Rio 2019 hatchback has enough competitors in a new body. First of all, this is an American-European bestseller Ford Fiesta hatchback. This model captivates with adequate cost and excellent driving qualities.

Fellow in the shop, Hyundai Solaris can also lure some of the buyers. The model has already become in demand on Russian market. And fans of the domestic auto industry will probably give preference to Lada Vesta, which relies on low cost of operation and energy-intensive suspension.

Slightly less popular on the Russian market will be the Volkawagen Polo or Nissan Almera, but she is also able to find her adherents. So the fight in the segment will be very intense. But the representative of the Korean auto industry definitely has every chance of success.

New Kia Rio 2017-2018 is the fourth generation of the popular Korean car.

Overview of the new model Kia Rio 2017-2018

First of all, the front optics of a new car catches the eye. Slanted halogen headlights are made in a typical Asian style, look at the road with a slight squint. The radiator grille, with a chrome trim, is also narrower and almost invisible against the background of a huge bumper, with a powerful air intake. On the sides of the bumper slightly protruding forward are dotted fog lights. The hood of the novelty does not have stampings characteristic of Asian models.

From the side projection, the domed roof immediately catches the eye. At Kia Rio 2017-2018 in a new body, the photo clearly shows that large wheel arches lost their swagger. All this against the background of a high window line looks very harmonious. Equipped LED repeaters mirrors on high brackets, combined with large glazing of the car. Doors covering large openings are devoid of all kinds of stampings and look very modest.

Above back designers have worked harder. Modern look new items give a small trunk, with a sharp edge on the edge and flattened, almost the entire length of the car, rear lights.

The dashboard is covered on top with a small visor that protects it from sun glare. The multimedia system is located in the center of the front console between two small ventilation vents. Controls are located under the small multimedia display climate system. A significant disadvantage in Kia showroom Rio 2017-2018 is the use of cheap finishing materials. First of all, this applies to the echoing plastic. Fitting parts also leaves much to be desired.

It is quite difficult to get comfortable in the front seats of the car. Despite the well-designed profile, the chairs have weak lateral support and a small range of adjustments. fabric upholstery very thin and subject to rapid abrasion. The steering wheel is quite plump, however, in expensive trim levels, you can order a convenient multimedia steering wheel. Kia center armrest Rio new model is very small and performs rather a decorative function. Power window buttons are conveniently arranged on the armrest driver's door. The niches of the front doors are quite roomy and conveniently located.

There is enough space on the rear sofa to comfortably accommodate three passengers. The knees of the rear riders will not rest against the backs of the seats, and the low central tunnel will not interfere with the legs. About good sound insulation budget model do not have to speak.

Video review of Kia Rio 2017-2018

In 2017 domestic market shocked by the release of two new models popular brands Kia and Hyundai. Rio and Solaris have earned the love of many motorists because of their relatively low cost, good equipment and excellent driving performance.

Kia Rio, starting from the first series, won fame and systematically consolidated its position as a solid vehicle B class, but Rio 2017 is a different car that has undergone many changes and is as close as possible to the C class.

New body in 2017 model

In pursuit of improving many characteristics, the engineers of the new Kia Rio 2017 lengthened the car by three centimeters and increased its wheelbase. The new body is significantly different from its predecessor.

Now the car resembles a car of the future and will surely appeal to fans of bold decisions. The license plate of the vehicle has moved down and formed some void between rear lights, giving the Kia Rio a certain charm in the new body.

Of the other differences that the new 2017 model has, we can distinguish:

• slightly slanted lights;
• broaching line of the front hood;
• more accurate and compact section of the trunk;
• the appearance of boomerang reflectors.

There are two body options in the 2017 Kia Rio model - a sedan and a hatchback. The company decided not to produce a station wagon and preferred the more popular body types of this car model.

Kia Rio 2017 received seven color options, four of which have not been seen before. In more available versions car engineers put a simple fifteen-inch stamped wheels.

lovers alloy wheels they can pay attention to top-end configurations, where fifteen and sixteen-inch castings flaunt. According to reviews real owners, fifteen-inch wheels are preferred.

So, big wheels look nice, but more compact wheels hold the road much better and respond to driver commands.

Innovations in the cabin

The contours and geometry of the cabin have not undergone any significant changes in the new Rio 2017 model. Unfortunately, Kia felt that the leather visor was not needed in the Rio car and removed it in the 2017 model year.

The multimedia features of the new car are:

• radio training in the cheapest configuration;
• a simple radio with a monochrome display in the basic set;
• high-quality system with a touch screen in the top performance of the car.

Bonus for the best multimedia system is about three hundred thousand rubles. The top radio has a great screen, responsive touch screen and lightning-fast response to button presses.

The monochrome model of the player, available in basic configurations, is also quite good. If navigation is not required, then choosing a simple radio will be more preferable.

Close to radio Kia showroom Rio 2017 has an air conditioning or climate control control unit.

In the case of buying a more expensive model with climate control, drivers become available:

• heating of all glasses;
• heated wipers.

A little lower, under the air conditioner unit, there are USB, AUX connectors and two 12-volt sockets.

Kia Rio hatchback will delight buyers with a contrast dashboard. Compared to models of previous generations, the screen size of the on-board computer has increased and its functionality has expanded.

In terms of finishing materials for the torpedo, the manufacturer decided not to experiment and left the same wear-resistant plastic.

Seat adjustment in both the sedan modification and the hatchback modification remained unchanged.

In the basic configurations of the car, the steering wheel adjustment is available only along one axis, and the top-end configurations expand this functionality and allow you to fine-tune the steering column, both horizontally and vertically.

According to information from the manufacturer, landing on the driver's seat has become two and a half centimeters lower. This is done so that the motorist can feel better control and respond faster to emergency situations.

A special mention is the change of the roof. The changes made to the design made it possible to reduce the blind zone by thirty centimeters and increase the viewing angle by four degrees.

The upholstery in the new model of the car also has not undergone significant changes. In the basic trim levels, the seats are trimmed with a special wear-resistant fabric, and in the premium version of the car, the trim is made using eco-leather.

The latter option is far from ideal for hot days, but it is much more practical than fabric.

In general, unlike the bodywork, the interior of the car has undergone minor changes and is still a model for cars in this price range.

The length of the car has increased by three centimeters, which led to an increase in space for rear seat passengers. Now people with a height of meter eighty will not push the back of the front seats with their knees, but will be able to feel very comfortable in the back seat.

The new Kia car model is available in the following colors:

• red, the official color name is Fiery Red;
• white or Crystal White;
• brown - the manufacturer assigned this color the designation Siena Brown;
• gray or Urban Grey;
• dark gray or Ice Wine;
• silvery. The official name of the color shade is Sleek Silver;
• black or Phantom Black;
• orange or Sunset Orange;
• blue is the official name of Marina Blue.

Key features of Kia Rio 2017

The new kia rio 2017 received some structural changes to the suspension and other chassis components. So, the manufacturer placed the rear suspension shock absorbers almost vertically.

In addition, Kia engineers changed the size of the washer fluid reservoir from four to about four and a half liters. Ground clearance updated Kia was 160 millimeters.

The car's suspension setup is different from the competition. For example, when driving a Hyundai Solaris, the driver will literally fly over small bumps and imperfections in the road surface.

In the case of Kia, the person behind the wheel will clearly feel all the defects in the asphalt surface due to the stiffer shock absorber springs.

The characteristics of the steering wheel have changed slightly. It has become much easier to rotate. The volume of the Kia trunk in the sedan, as before, is 480 liters.

Specifications Kia Rio 2017 include two types of engine:

1. 6 liter with a capacity of 123 horsepower and acceleration to a hundred kilometers in 10.3 seconds.
2. 4 liter with a capacity of 100 horses and acceleration to a hundred in 11.2 seconds.

Both engines have variable geometry intake tract and phase shifters. Despite the constant improvements of the engines, they still allow operation on brand 92 gasoline. The overall dimensions and capacity have undergone changes. fuel tank.

Now drivers can pour fifty liters of gasoline into the car, instead of forty-three in the previous generations of Kia Rio.

As before, in more expensive versions of the car, it is possible to install special Keyless Entry handles. This feature will allow car owners not to deliver the key from their pocket. You just need to approach the car and the door locks will open by themselves.

Among the shortcomings of the new model, one can single out poor sound insulation and vibration loading. Increased dimensions and a large number of high-supporting metals in the composition of the body led to the fact that when driving, road noise is clearly audible, and small bumps cause a noticeable vibration of the steering ring.

Fuel consumption indicator

The fuel consumption of the 2017 kia rio has not changed much.

The objective indicators of fuel consumption are as follows:

1. City cycle.
   Consumption is 7.2 liters for a 1.4 liter engine and 8.5 liters for a 1.6 liter engine when using mechanical box gear shifting. The same figures for the machine are 8 and 8.9 liters, respectively.
2. Movement outside the city.
   In this mode, a car with a junior engine and mechanics consumes 4.8 liters per hundred kilometers, and with an older engine - 5.1 liters. An automatic gearbox increases the figures to 4.8 and 5.3 liters per hundred kilometers of the vehicle.
3. combined cycle.
   When driving in combined mode, the performance of the junior engine is 5.7 for mechanical transmission and 6.4 for the machine. The older motor in these conditions consumes 6 and 6.1 liters, respectively.

The difference between the modes is about half a liter of fuel. This outcome can be explained by the fact that the car has become one hundred kilograms heavier than the previous generation. In addition, an increase in the wheelbase and the addition of new species options could also slightly affect fuel consumption.

Conclusion

Updated model Kia Rio 2017 largely inherited the benefits previous models and brought a stylish design to the series. The car has frisky speed qualities, rich basic configuration and hard suspension.

After the transition to Euro 5, Rio has become less fast, but much more environmentally friendly. The car has already firmly occupied its niche and, despite the presence good competitors, enjoys incredible demand in the Russian market.

New Kia Rio 2017 photo which already appeared on the network turned out to be different. than the new generation of the European Kia Rio 2017 model year. It is not surprising that Rio for the emerging markets of Russia, China and India has less and less in common with European and American Rio version. This applies not only to design, but also to the technical component. For example, in our country the old atmospheric 1.4 and 1.6 will be available liter aspirated, while more modern, environmentally friendly, small-volume turbine units will appear in the EU. Something in common can only be found in the interior.

It is already known for sure that next year the new generation Rio 2017 will be available only in a sedan. We will not have any hatchbacks that are so popular in Europe. The appearance of the new Kia Rio has changed dramatically. Larger and more expressive front optics, other bumpers, grille. By the way, a feature of the new budget sedan it could be considered rear optics, which is connected by a strip of LED lights.

Specifications Kia Rio 2017

If in the European modification of Rio the main power unit is the latest 1-liter turbo engine with a capacity of 100 or 120 hp. (depending on the performance of the turbine), then in our country, even the new generation will have time-tested 1.4 and 1.6-liter aspirated (107 and 123 hp, respectively).

The main changes in Russian Kia Rio 2017, which is a copy of the Chinese Kia K2, did not touch the powertrains at all. For that, a completely new body appeared, which became stronger and safer. Active systems security were replenished with new electronic assistants.

There were also no significant changes in the chassis, except for the new suspension settings. Front independent "MacPherson". behind is a semi-independent suspension with a beam. Disc brakes front and rear. Steering rack. however, there is no exact information yet on what will be used - a modern electric or time-tested hydraulic booster.

By the way, in some markets as the main motors Korean manufacturer offers for Rio diesel engines. For example, in Europe, this is a 1.2 liter turbodiesel with a capacity of 69 hp, and in India, a 1.4 liter unit with a capacity of 89 hp. (220 Nm) or a more powerful 1.6 liter developing 126 horses with a torque of 259 Nm. It is natural in Russia to expect diesel units do not have to. Despite all the advantages of a turbodiesel, our customers bypass such cars, especially when it comes to budget cars.

The same equipment, but with air conditioning, will cost 659,900 rubles.
