Several events took place in 2016, and one of them was the appearance on sale of the 4th generation Kia Rio. To tell the truth, cars began to be sold in our country only at the end of this year. They achieved success quickly. In the segment of budget cars, this iron horse takes the first place in terms of sales. One of the reasons for such popularity among compatriots is the positive reputation of the Korean manufacturer, as well as the model in general.
Appearance Kia Rio
Attempts to find something common between Kia Rio of the 3rd and 4th generations regarding the body will not lead to anything. These are completely different cars in appearance. New Kia Rio has slightly larger dimensions than its predecessor. This was done in order to increase the level of comfort. All the corners in the car's exterior are carefully matched, which gives it aesthetics and even some mystery. The front optics are large enough that the same can be said about the rear lights in general. Expensive equipment Kia Rio is equipped with LED running lights. The car is sold in two bodies - a sedan and a hatchback. It should be said that second-generation Solarises are available only in the sedan body. As it turned out, marketing studies showed a low popularity of Solaris hatchbacks among the population. The palette of shades in which the Kia Rio is presented at car dealers is represented by all the colors of the rainbow. It is not difficult to guess that the car looks most presentable in its latest configuration. She owes it to these 16-inch wheels, as well as silver handles.
Interior of the iron horse
As you know, Kia Rio is a budget class car. For this reason, elements made of expensive materials cannot be found in the cabin. In general, their absence in no way impairs the comfort of driving a vehicle. The interior differs depending on the configuration. The basic equipment has a meager set of options – a pair of power windows, heating, but only the front seats, and classic climate control. In expensive configurations, you can find heating of all seats, climate control, speakerphone, standard head unit with navigation and much more. Seat upholstery is velor throughout.
Technical specifications
The manufacturer offers the Kia Rio with the following units:
– gasoline engine 1,4 or 1,6 liters. The power of the first is 100 hp, and the power of the second is 123 hp. The 4th generation has the same power plants that were on the iron horses of the 3rd generation;
– mechanical or automatic transmission. Each node has 6 gears. As before, the Kia Rio with an automatic transmission is sold approximately 12% more expensive than its counterpart with a manual transmission.
The fuel consumption of a car with a 1,6-liter engine and an automatic transmission in mixed mode is limited to 9,5 liters. On the highway, this indicator decreases to 6 liters.
Is it worth considering a Korean sedan for yourself?
Kia Rio is a car relevant to modern realities. Having an optimal price, reliability and good technical parameters, it deserves to be the best in its class. An ordinary compatriot with or without a family will definitely like it.
