Some time ago, companies from Germany could not say no rivals, but at the moment the situation has changed after cars appeared on the car market South Korea. About 5 years ago, no one would come to anyone to compare the car market from Europe with the market from Korea, now the situation has changed. And therefore, many motorists ask what car should be purchased: Volkswagen Polo or Kia Rio?
The current automotive industry is perfected constantly, and customers are offered cars to a variety of price categories. Those who want can buy a Korean or German car for an acceptable price.
The external appearance of these cars is completely different. Polo is a classic car from Europe, restrained features without any hopping. Last year there was an update of the car: the radiator lattice has changed, the hood cover and optics have been improved. Now bisenon lights, LED strips added in the "fog", and on the lanterns there is a washer.
Kia Rio, of course, looks much brighter - the original radiator lattice in the "Tigrin Oscala family", individual bumpers and a new-fashioned lighting engineering. The main lines of the body after the update remained unchanged. But, exterior appearance Machines, this is a purely personal choice.
Interior Volkswagen Polo and Kia Rio
Inside the cabin of the described machines, there is enough space both to the driver and passengers, everything is minimal in German: plastic finish and a lounge of a 2-colored fabric. After last year's update in Volkswagen Polo, a chic steering wheel appeared, new inheritant seats, in the console in the center there are matte chromed parts, in one modification, a beautiful beige salon decoration is applied.
The inner decoration of the Korean looks better - the salon is decorated for youth, all the new way and beautiful: the original torpedo with glossy parts, the chic panel of the instruments, in the center of which is located the LCD monitor. The German has more practical and more boring, without excess, but comfortable and simple.
Equipment from both applicants is: the structure of the ABS, the structure of stability at the EBD course, front and side PB, and, of course, an assistant when starting to rise.

They did not live in a foul, and here - that's how to you! - the invaders came. Moreover, not from the most consecient or the country of the rising sun is a separate topic for conversation, and from the southern Republic of Korea. The third party from the Asian part of the mainland intervened in the ancient "internecine" wars of European automotive concerns.
The main blow to European manufacturers was applied in terms of market value. The straight with the conveyor belt of the Asian country fell, like peas of a pod, fresh cars with a very budget "price tag" and excellent assembly quality raised to a completely new level.
If you did not guessed, we are talking about the most famous South Korean company KIA, founded in the years of World War II. For a long time, the car concern was for the intended goal: to enter the world market from Asia. It is so described by the name of the brand.
Not in vain also developed a new Slogan "Art amazing". Excreting the world community in the 2000s. The release of fashionable and inexpensive cars, the firm, thereby, without realizing, challenged the largest European companies engaged in the automotive business even when South Koreans went under the table on foot.
One of the European brands who accepted the challenge became Volkswagen - the most "folk" and popular brand not only in Europe, but also around the world.
One of the "state employees" was hit by one of the "state employees", produced since 1975, - Volkswagen Polo in the body of the sedan. The car survived five generations, which took the honorary title of the "car of the year" in 2010 and annually in the top ten best-selling machines in Europe, met Asian rival. They became Kia Rio in the body of the sedan.
In fact, the confrontation lasts for more than fifteen years. The first generation of Kia Rio entered the European Light in 2000. But at that time the car was only gaining momentum: we were brought to Europe a weak, unfinished sedan in a pair.
The situation changed in 2003, when there were two interconnected events: the concern was broken by the most Kia Group, which designs cars known to us, and the Rio model was subjected to touched not only the external shell of the car, but also a rotor "filling".
Since then, every year the situation was aggravated. In 2015, the third restyling took place generation Kia. Rio, who only raised Germans. Those also did not stand in place: Volkswagen Polo Sedan also received a number of updates.
Before the sophisticated consumer stood a lawsuit: what to choose? What model is better? The price difference is small: with a tiny translate about 50 thousand rubles, polo sedan leads, if you compare the basic configurations of both "opponents".
South Korea is a novice in this matter, but moves with seven-world steps to the goal. Already today, the reputation of the company KIA is never inferior to the renome of leading European firms in the field of automotive industry. Therefore, according to this indicator, both models put the score 1-1.
In appearance - two completely different opposites. If Kia Rio is a bright stylish spot, attracting views of their unusual muscular shapes, crimping the entire body of the car, the Volkswagen Polo characterizes calm smooth lines taken from the image of a classic sedan. Kia Rio Bunar Gardon gives a radiator grille. It is much larger and wider than the short strip of polo sedan, compressed from two sides by standard headlights.
By the way, the head optics also transmits a noticeable difference in the styles. Aggressive, cold predator look at the "Asian" against attentive serene "Eye" "Europeans". Fashionable "boomerangi" of the fog lampsion "Korean" against ordinary crystal "eyepieces" "German".
Even the roof line is different. At Kia Rio immediately striking the excessive diligence of Koreans, aimed at creating an image close to the prototype. A stylish curved "cap" roof is that confirmation. Sedan Polo ... Such a feeling that designers did not make any sketches, and directly engaged in the design of new forms of the car, including the roofs.
The sidewalls of the Asian model are pumped "muscles", which are issued to "climbing" along the entire body. On the sedans, they are also there, but they are not so noted as in Rio.
Korean's feed looks more attractive than the "German". It is raised and the dimensions seem more. Rear lights that crosses the lid line of the trunk, two times in two exceed the compact Folkswagen Polo plaffers. But the classic appearance of the rear of the polo sedan has two sophisticated chrome-plated inserts: one goes along the door of the luggage compartment, the second is at the bottom edge of the bumper.
There are no special differences in size. In length, "German" wins. It is 14 mm more than the Asian. The width is absolutely the same - 1.7 m for both models. Due to the more convex roof, the height of Kia Rio is greater than 5 mm than the German sedan. For clearance, "European" is superior to the Asian at 10 mm - 170 and 160 mm, respectively.
And again you can not reveal a clear winner in the "Exterior" category. Who is better? Here everything solves the preference of the buyer. All the Tastes are different: someone will have to do the classic appearance of the polo sedan, others will gladly sit behind the wheel of a horn and colorful Kia Rio. Therefore, the score is 2-2.
And again in the cabin "Korean" we see relief. He has many protrusions. Under a large "visor" there are two deep cylinders with a tachometer and speedometer.
On the "tidy" of the sedan polo cost two neat "rings", showing speed and speed, and between them a small screen of an on-board computer is mounted.
The steering wheel on both models depending on the configuration is equipped with a different set of functions. These are mainly related to the management of the multimedia system. Lovers of racing competitions will appreciate the possibility of installation on the polo "cropped" steering instead of the standard round "steering wheel".
The central panel "German" looks easier than the opponent. However, if you make an additional contribution, you can detect a pleasant surprise on the console in the form of a 6.5-inch touchscreen. It can be used as a navigator, rear view camera, as well as watch high resolution films.
"Korean" is deprived of such an opportunity, but it can boast an excellent acoustic system and heated steering wheel, and wireless technologies are available in top versions, voice control Information and entertainment system, climate control and many other amenities.
Packages of "Lamb" to ensure security can not be considered. Both cars have standard sets of options that can expand during surcharges.
The luggage compartment of Kia Rio is 500 liters. It is a capacity of the "German" trunk, which indicator is 460 liters. The backs of both models can be omitted in a ratio of 60:40, increasing the volume of the free space of the trunk.
Yet the Asian sedan looks pretty, the German "state employee". This also applies to the quality of finishing, and functionality. But the main trump card "German" - a large display on the central console - completely levels the superiority of the pride of the South Korean auto industry. Therefore, the account again becomes equal to 3-3.
Who is faster, stronger and more reliable? Whose engine is better?
The Volkswagen Polo demonstrates only one power plant - a 4-cylinder gasoline unit with a volume of 1.6 liters.
The basic motor is refilled 85 hp Its torque reaches 145 nm, and maximum speed It reaches almost to the mark of 180 km / h. At 5-speed "mechanics" acceleration is carried out in 10.5 seconds. In a mixed mode, a 85-strong engine consumes about 6.4 liters per 100 km.
"Advanced" version develops power in 105 hp Torque is 153 nm. "MAILDER" reaches 190 km / h. "Hundred" in combination with a 6-speed automatic transmission overcomes in 11.9 seconds. But you can install and mechanical transmission on 5 ranges.
The Korean applicant for the title of the best car has more powerful power plants under the hood. The basic apparatus is a 1.4-liter "atmospheric" with a capacity of 107 hp Torque reaches 135 nm. Picks up 100 km / h in 11.5 seconds. This is on a 4-range "machine". On the 5-speed and faster - 11 seconds without small. Consumes about 6 liters of gasoline per 100 km.
"Charged" version - 1.6 liter engine with a capacity of 123 hp Its torque is limited to 155 nm. It accelerates to "hundreds" faster than the base - 10.3 seconds and, moreover, "eats" fuel slightly less - 5.9 liters. Works in a pair of both with an "machine" and with "mechanics", designed for 6 speeds.
Technical data speak for themselves: the Asian sedan is better than German. Therefore, the score is awarded Kia Rio.
Thus, in a dense struggle, the wheel in the wheel with a small margin wins korean car. It has a brighter and dynamic design of the exterior and interior, and also has the best boiling capacities. At the same time, Volkswagen Polo is a classic of the genre, the correctness and clarity of all lines and reliable technical equipment of the car.
What kind of car choose - everyone decides himself.
Recently, German companies have almost no competitors, today the situation has changed dramatically after entering the Korean manufacturers. And if five years ago there was no point in comparing the European car with Korean, now this comparison is more than appropriate. And therefore it is not surprising the fact that many are concerned about the question: "What is better than Volkswagen Polo or Kia Rio?"
Classic polo sedan against stylish Rio: Battle of the budget class
Undoubtedly, modern car industry has significantly advanced recently. The consumer began to be offered cars in various price categories. Today, for a relatively low cost, you can buy not only a supported car, but also a new Korean or German brand.
So a bright example of the steel of the budget class, released by two famous companies Kia and Volkswagen. But, despite the relatively small difference in the cost of the two of these brand, they were involved in competitors in their segment. On the one hand, it is worth german quality, and on the other - style. Let's try to further compare these two parameters.
Comparison
So, Kia Rio Sedan against Volkswagen Polo. Despite the same class of cars, it is impossible to confuse two of these representatives: a bright and spectacular Kia Rio Sedan and an elegant and calm Volkswagen Polo. If you compare these two representatives of the budget class, you can see all the advantages and disadvantages of the other model.
Kia Rio: Features
Kia Rio Sedan is a Korean car that began to be made since 2000. The whole point of the current generation of cars in his title is Rio, which means fun and holiday. But the bright design of this representative is all paramount, since in addition to an attractive appearance and a beautiful interior, the car is high-quality and reliable. In essence, it's all the same good and practical Hyundai Solaris. It is quite difficult to criticize the car, the salon is very nice everything in its places, but even some prestigious cars can envy the number of options:
- Invincible access;
- Starting the engine from the button;
- Heated steering, seats and wiper zones;
- Bluetooth;
- Climate control;
- Rota repeaters on rearview mirrors.
But, however, some of them are only available in the top configuration. The car was designed specifically for the Russian market. It is fully adapted to operating conditions in our country.
The first thing to be noted is:
- Road clearance increased to 160 mm.
- IN winter time The salon warms up as quickly as possible.
In principle, the machine is designed for people who are transplanted with domestic cars on foreign cars.
What is the Volkswagen Polo?
This is a folk sedan, which was designed for Russia, therefore ground clearance It also increased to 170 mm, which is 10 mm more than Rio. The machine is designed on the half-generation hatchback platform. Unfortunately, this car does not boast such options such as ABS, electrically regulating mirrors, heated seats. However, some of them can still be ordered: climate control, air conditioning, radio tape recorder. And the rest is quite a decent apparatus: an excellent interior, comfortable seats, but most importantly is German quality.
The car appeared in 2010 and immediately began to be in demand in the market. Volkswagen has an idea to create a reliable and solid car, which would be affordable to many, and this idea was very successfully embodied.
External characteristics
The creators of Kia Rio did the focus on a stylish design and a huge package of options. Volkswagen, in turn, made focus on reliability and goodness and therefore compare them quite difficult.
Externally, Kia Rio looks stylish and powerful: branded radiator grille (tiger fall), which highlights the car in the overall stream and a large head optics. Volkswagen Polo, despite the fact that this budget model looks like a real good representative of this brand: restrained lines, stylish headlights and no excesses. Externally, Volkswagen is pleasant, as well as all of its counterparts and in the total mass it is difficult to even say that the polo is a car class below.
Salon and Ergonomics
Both representatives of the budget segment provide the same space to the consumer, but if the polo is absolutely all modestly: hard plastic and full minimalism, then in Kia Rio, a fairly beautiful torpedo, diluted with black glossy plastic, which will not yet bring the motorist inconvenience during cleaning. But still, Rio instrument panel is better than polo.
Equipment
On the steering wheel, Kia Rio has many options - the control of the car, telephone. In an improved configuration, the steering wheel can be separated by the skin. It is impossible not to note, such a function as heated steering, which is also available in the basic configuration.
In Volkswagen polo everything is modest, but at the same time practical and convenient. In the most expensive version, you can add a functional armrest, leather finishing and install the audio system control unit on the steering wheel. And so in the cabin there are no excess.
The dashboard at Kia Rio Sedan is bright and informative, which is only located in the center of the LCD display. Volkswagen polo has everything relatively simple, but tasteful.
Engine and box
Volkswagen Polo is offered with a single engine, 1.6 liter volume and 105 horse power. In the line of models there are copies, as with MCPP or 6-speed automatic transmission to choose from. The manufacturer offers 3 configurations.
As for the dynamics, the car over 10.5 seconds accelerates up to 100 km on the mechanics, on the machine for 11.5 seconds, in this plan, IPAM is better.
Kia Rio Sedan - has an engine, a volume of 1.6 liters, with a capacity of 123 hp. A car up to 100 km accelerates only 11.3 seconds on automatic transmission, even though Rio power cuts a 4-step automaton significantly. However, the consumer is offered to choose a car with a 1.4-liter engine and manual transmission.
Trunk.
Volkswagen Polo has a fairly spacious trunk - 430 liters. To enlarge luggage compartmentYou need to remove headrests from the back chairs, and then raising two lever up, lower the seat ahead. But to obtain a smooth space it will be necessary to remove and seats.
Kia Rio Sedan Trunk has a large volume - 500 liters. In order to decompose rear seats It will only take to stick behind the lever.
It's time for the wheel and compare the dynamics
The Kia Rio sedan is touched quite tearing enough, but it stands slightly press the pedal, as the box drops to reduced transmission with a small delay. However, the sedan starts perfectly. Dynamics more than pleasant. Although this copy should not be expected to be supernatural and some drive emotions. Still, the car of this class was created absolutely for the other. The brake system works great. In turns, the car enters smoothly without driving to the side.
Volkswagen Polo Rolls approximately with the same ability. In the stream behaves elegant. It cannot be said that polo is bad or good car. This is an ordinary good quality machine, like all representatives of this brand. The box struck with its smoothness and softness, there is no delay in understanding between it and the engine.
More recently, German concerns were not opponents, but today the situation has changed after Korean cars appeared on the market.
Five years ago, no one would like to compare European brands with Korean, but now this fact occurs. And so many motorists are asked questions on the topic, what kind of car is better to buy Kia Rio or Volkswagen Polo?

In this class, there is a serious struggle for the heart, a wallet of the buyer, preferring foreign cars and wanting to get as much as possible for less money. Both cars meet these selection criteria, although they are going to Russia. Therefore, it is possible to consider or call them "German" and "Korean".
Today we compare kIA cars Rio and VW Polo in the sedan class. We emphasize positive qualities, point out the shortcomings. Will not cost and without a detailed comparison technical characteristicsrepresented in tabular form. This will quickly find the difference between 2 popular budgetary cars.
Briefly about Kia Rio and Volkswagen Polo
The new version of Rio appeared after the second generation's SOLARIS debut and is an accurate technical copy of the compatriot. Machines do not have fundamental differences in terms of power aggregates, CAT, chassis and other work units. Offered with an identical assortment of additional equipment (with some reservations). Built on a common modular platform, but they differ much outwardly due to the efforts of designers. The new Rio fourth generation (the FB model index) is collected at the enterprise in St. Petersburg.
Polo is a compact car of the German concern VW with a richer and conflicting history. The car for sale in the Russian market is collected at the local plant of Volkswagen Group Rus LLC, located in Kaluga. The produced 4-door car has little common with the European version of the car, which is sold in the hatchback body (with 5 doors).
However, the VW management pays special attention to adaptation. budget car climatic and road conditions of operation in Russia. They offer a "warm" package of options, installed in the domestic version of the sedan battery with an enlarged capacity and starter with an increased power characteristic, use suspension settings designed to mitigate shocks.
Review of cars Rio and Polo. Comparison and score
Design
VW Polo is a classic budget sedan, not having a bright image. The neatly decorated front part looks beautiful in the bixenon headlights and LED running lights. Gives a thin hint on a high-class car.
New rear lights with a changed pattern of glow looks spectacular. However, part of the car polo, where the updated optics is installed, brings boredom. Too modestly, even by the standards of the budget class.
Another thing is the GT version with sports notes. Transforms family car In the "pseudo-shown" sedan. The machine comes with a dual strip passing through the body, 16-inch wheels Portago darkened by rear optics. Bright and interesting image. The main drawback is unreasonably high price.

The new Kia Rio is already in the database is considered a youth car, charged with energy and augmented droplet of aggression. Design "entertained". The sedan looks different. For someone, it became more interesting for someone, and someone - to repel the appearance of excessive "Asian" and the departure from the past balanced appearance.
The designer group led by Peter Schreyer made a car causing an exterior (though to new Sportage. Far), provoking the buyer on emotions.
Changes touched the front and rear optics, radiator grille. On the sidewalls of the car there were beautiful clin-shaped sidewalls. But the main feature of the new South Korean sedan is stylish "boomerangi" in the front part formed by fog lamps and air intakes for cooling disc brakes.
Output: appearance Rio is much brighter and more original compared to the boring manner of the standard Volkswagen Polo.
Salon
Most budget sedans are bought in equipment, medium-sized equipment. Therefore, it is better to compare the running versions of cars, and not exhibition and image, with leather salons and decorative inserts. 4-door sedans look great, but at the expense of a recent update, the Kia interior looks newer and solid.
Inexpensive plastic and simple fabric upholstery seats we celebrate in both dough participants. IN top-end sets Correct the position of the multimedia system, a multifunctional steering wheel with a leather upholstery, a trim of a gearbox and other pleasant trivia, striking.
Output: Neat budget salons without revelations and clearly annoying details. Interior design Kia is a little brighter and more interesting.
Motor gamma and selection of PPC
Motor gamma in the budget sedan VW brand is richer than Kia Rio. The main trump card of the first car lies in the turbocharged 125-strong motor with a volume of 1.4 liters with a good burden. The power plant of the TSI family develops a 200 nm of the maximum torque (in the circuit range from 1.4 to 4 thousand). Here Rio has nothing to answer Polo. The Volkswageng motor works in a pair with a 6-speed "handle" and a 7-band "robot".
Russians are available two identical MPI engines. Twin motors with a torque of 155 units are distinguished by high fuel efficiency. Average consumption - 6 liters. Power indicators - 90 and 110 hp
The automakers duet Kia and Hyundai sets the same motors in budget sedans. Therefore, the POLO opponent got the Solyaris engines with a volume of 1.4 and 1.6 liters.
The top engine, according to passport data, develops 156 units of maximum torque and issues 123 "horses". Despite the same power with the POLO flagship engine, it loses more than 40 nm in the trap. Significant difference.
A less powerful PII power unit has a Dual-CVVT technology. With a working volume in 1368 cm3 develops 100 hp.
Engines in Korean cars are universal. Fixed to work together with 6-speed "mechanics and automatic transmission (6 steps). 90- and 110-strong POLO versions are equipped with a 5-speed MCPP. The more powerful motor is equipped with a 6-range "machine", younger - no.
Output: Motor gamma in the Kaluga sedan is richer and more interesting compared to the proposal from Kia motorists. Includes powerful and trapped 1,4-liter turbocharged engine. By gearboxes - equality (6-automatic transmission at the first and second car). An additional 7-speed robotic transmission from Volkswagen is difficult to consider the advantage.
Dynamic characteristics and fuel flow rates
The South Korean sedan engines cannot boast of impressive dynamic characteristics. None of the versions of Rio overcomes the mark of 10 seconds in acceleration to 100 km / h. The fastest (123 hp + 6-mCP) is gaining the first hundred only for 10.3 s. Polo with the dynamics of business is a little better. Turbated engine 125 hp And 6-speed "mechanics" allow the VW brand machine to perform an exercise for 9 seconds.
This is a good indicator, but not primarily when choosing a budget machine. It is much more interesting to compare the fuel consumption and the requirements of motors to the quality of fuel.
For power plants Recommended Gasoline S. octane number 95 (on a research method). Fuel consumption indicators for power units are the same. Passport details indicate an average consumption of 5.7 - 6 liters of fuel in mixed cycle (with "mechanics"). KIA versions C automatic transmission is less economical. Require an additional 0.4-0.6 liters of fuels in various operating modes of the vehicle at 100 km of way.
About grade and prices
The initial cost of the new Rio is 634,900 rubles. IN basic complete set Korean enters a simple air conditioner, electric steering wheel, front electric windows, 2 airbags, eSC systems, VSM, HAC, etc.
The budget machine of the Kaluga assembly is sold from 599,900 rubles. The difference between the basic version of ConceptLine lies in the presence of 4 power windows and the absence of air conditioning. The climatic installation cannot be established for the extra charge, it is purchased only in the more expensive version of the Trendline car, the cost of which begins from 650 thousand rubles.

The most equipped equipment of Kia Rio called Premium is sold from 995 thousand rubles. It has a full electric car, heated 4 seats (!) And steering wheel, LED-running lights, leather interior, climate control.

The most expensive vOLKSWAGEN version Polo called GT is sold from 834,900 rubles. Equipped with climate system Climatronic, sports leather steering wheel, heated seats for the driver, front passenger, etc.
However, the most important and "delicious" options Concern Volkswagen allows you to get after ordering packages "Design", "Comfort", "full readiness", etc. As a result, the cost of a well-equipped car exceeds the mark of 1 million rubles. In order to obtain the above-mentioned bixenon headlights with running lights based on LEDs, it will have to additionally pay almost 57 thousand rubles.
Output: Polo is cheaper in the basic version compared to a sedan gathering in St. Petersburg. However, the Volkswagen automaker strategy, aimed at ordering the future owner of additional option packages, aligns the cost of cars. At the same time, KIA's base motor is more powerful by 10 hp than the MPI power unit at VW.

Table. Detailed comparison of the main characteristics of 4-door sedansPolo. andRio.
Output: The new Kia is larger than its competitor from the VW mill, has a spacious trunk (20 liters) and a large 47 mm wheel base. Rio is easier than opponent in all versions of 10-30 kg. The minimum weight difference does not have a positive effect on fuel efficiency indicators and dynamic characteristics. Sedans that produce in Kaluga are faster and give a certain advantage in fuel economy. The last remark is true for machines with automatic machines.

Summarize
Rio is a bright "Korean" novelty for those who do not want to take Solaris. Polo - Time-tested folk car.
Both models are not bad technical equipment (for a budget class), a good assembly, adaptability to russian conditions Operation, have economical engines, full-fledged 6-range "automata" in the PPC lineup with a configured work algorithm. However, choosing between two machines, you will have to sacrifice either an unusual design and pleasant interior, or with excellent movements of the suspension (POLO is famous for) and optimal in terms of the characteristics of the engine (110 hp).
