From the time that the well-known designer of the Audi company, Peter Schreier, became the chief designer of “ Kia Motors and subsequently Hyundai Motor Group (“Hyundai-Kia”), determine that better kia Rio, it is very difficult for an inexperienced buyer. According to the results of sales in 2014, Kia Rio was one of the three best-selling cars. Kia Rio looks unusual in both body types, characteristic feature is a forward-looking silhouette, a somewhat aggressive front end and decorative curves of the front fenders. Each body option has both pros and cons, respectively, the buyer should initially decide for what needs the car is purchased.

Popularity Kia car Rio is undeniable, but what body type is better: a sedan or a hatchback?

Distinctive features of body types

The sedan is the most popular model body, a sedan is understood as a passenger car with closed body. The car has two or three rows of seats, which are separated from luggage compartment. A sedan-type car looks more representative and respectable. Home hallmark sedan is the presence of a body, which consists of two volumes, that is, the interior and luggage compartment are separated. The sedan body comes with two or four doors.

Hatchback means body type passenger car, which is characterized by the presence of one or two rows of seats, a slightly shorter back, compared to the same sedan, and a door in the rear of the body. A hatchback is a body of the same volume, that is, the trunk and the interior of the car are one cavity. Opening the luggage compartment lid gives access directly to the interior of the car. Bodies of this kind are three-door and five-door.

Respectability or sport

In 2011 with the release on the Russian market new modification the car has grown compared to its predecessors not only in terms of dimensions, but also reliability, nevertheless remaining in the same loyal price category.

Outwardly, the front of the car will seem exactly the same to you, but it is worth turning the car in profile and the differences will be noticeable. The sedan is respectable and aspiring, the hatchback is more compact and maneuverable. Both the sedan and hatchback are different from competing cars of the same class. Kia Rio is a small class car for short people.

It should be noted that even in basic configuration model Kia Rio the sedan is pretty well “packed”, as evidenced by the presence of:

• power steering;
• electric window lifter;
• air conditioner;
• central lock;
• airbags for the driver.

They can purchase the car immediately in the “Comfort” configuration, which includes in addition a second passenger airbag, heated mirrors and the ability to adjust the seat height. Rio manufacturers offer drivers a hatchback, focusing more on those buyers who do not recognize a sedan in principle.

The difference in numbers

If we consider the differences between the Kia Rio sedan and hatchback in absolute terms, then they will not seem so striking. The length of the body of the sedan is 4 meters and 37 cm, and the model with a body door has a length of 4 meters 12 cm. The rest of the dimensions - the height and width of both cars are the same, as well as the clearance of 16 cm. This gives an advantage for a shortened model in urban conditions, since the more compact the car, the less difficulty there will be when parking. The volume of the luggage compartment exceeds the hatchback by almost a good hundred liters, we have 500 liters against 389. In terms of other indicators, the proposed engine volumes and transmission of these models are the same. According to driver reviews, it can be argued that a car with a beveled auto body will behave more briskly when road conditions, far from ideal than its counterpart in the classic body.

Among the shortcomings inherent in the Kia Rio models, note the thin coating of the hood of the car, which bends literally when pressed with your fingers and insufficient heating. windshield.

The agony of choice

It becomes especially relevant when it comes to budget options. A car with a shortened rear end has an advantage over a classic sedan, and even more so over a station wagon, in terms of greater freedom of maneuver in urban conditions. It is more convenient to transport cargo in a hatchback than in a sedan, since the presence of a door in the rear of the car makes it easier to load or unload luggage. Among the disadvantages of combining the passenger compartment and the luggage part of the car, one can note the penetration of cold air into the passenger compartment when the tailgate is opened, the longer time required to heat the car in winter. Most often, the hatchback is positioned as a family-type car with the possibility of transportation. oversized cargo only occasionally, it is not suitable for regular freight traffic. Short back model is preferred when parking in reverse, the dimensions are perfectly felt, and the curb does not catch on. Also, the positive features include increased dynamism on the road and the ability to convert inner part car with the passenger seats folded down. An added bonus is the presence of a rear wiper.

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 kia generation 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.

Description kia models rio new looks quite elegant and to some extent even more attractive than the Rio four-door sedan, due to the successful configuration of the rear of the car and interior 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 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 power elements cars - they are made to all standards.

In places of possible deformations, body parts are reinforced, which implies less deformation in the event of a collision. Unlike other cars of the kia rio series, but not only in appearance and design amenities, kia rio new differs from other cars of this model range.

First of all, it is distinguished by technical characteristics, good equipment 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 is equipped 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 top speed at 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 modern car, a technically well-equipped, and therefore quite reliable and safe vehicle, during the creation of 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 in the basic configuration, it becomes quite attractive to the buyer and corresponds to the ratio of price and quality.
