With greeted in Russia, few people remember KIA Rio first Generations (factory code DC), the release of which was launched in 2000. Actually, if this session was standing out with something among classmates, then except that a low price.
Take off the popularity of the model on russian market Began in 2005, when the second generation of the model with the JB factory code appeared. In 2009, the car slightly updated his appearance, having received the "Tigrine Nose", new steering wheel, front and rear bumpers and spoiler in the luxury configuration. But, perhaps, the main reason for the first time the five-year warranty proposed for him was the first-year warranty.
In 2011, the third generation was born, Rio QB. This car was originally conceived as global, with special versionsFocused on American and European markets, as well as for China. That is based on the Chinese version and a modification was developed for Russia, the assembly of which was launched at the factory in St. Petersburg on August 15, 2011. Two body options (sedan and hatchback), two engines (107 and 123 hp), a whole set of convenient equipment and the same five-year warranty - these are the Successful Success, which allowed Rio immediately enter the number of the most popular and mass models, and Then become an absolute leader in the number of cars sold. Nevertheless, in modern conditions, six years is a solid age, so the need to replace Vitala in the air.

Piece for four boomerangs
And here it is the next generation with the FB code. It is built on a new modular platform, which potentially allows you to significantly expand the range of engines. The platform is universal, modular, it also built a new Picanto and the European crossover KIA STONIC. As usual, when changing generations, the car added in size, closely approaching the dimensions to the next segment. The length rose by 23, width by 40, and the wheelbase is 30 mm. Naturally, this means that the salon has become palpably spacious.

Externally, Rio unequivocally became more interesting. I would not call the appearance of the novelty aggressive, rather - energetic. From the parts of the exterior, I would noted the narrow lining of the radiator, visually forming a single horizontal, and LED running lights, fog lights and brake cooling air intakes combined into a single unit in the form of a boomerang.
With these boomerangs, reflectors that have the same shape and arranged on the rear bumper are erected. I liked the aggressive ribs at the edges of the hood, which are visible from the driver's seat and on which you can appreciate how the trajectory of the movement of the wheels and wedge-shaped sidewalls on the sidewalls.
The only thing that causes complaints is large, slightly convex and absolutely empty surface of the back of the trunk cover. When you are going for the new Rio on the way, then at the first moment it seems that his driver lost the room ...

Magic horizontal
In the cabin, the main dominant was the horizontal metal molding, passing from the side to the side and a clearly dividing the front panel to the upper part, with the deflectors of the ventilation system and the combination of instruments, and the lower, with the media system and the climate control unit.

At the presentation of the car, representatives of the company proudly declared about " best Salon in class". The best or not the best is difficult to say. In fact, it seems to me that there are still not enough sports-youth notch in the cabin, although if you compare it with the inner design of the chief relative and competitor, Hyundai Solaris, the interior really looks somewhat interesting.
First, because of this very horizontal dominant, the salon seems wider than it really is. Secondly, a special charm is attached to a round steering wheel (her, by the way, he also invented Peter Shreyer) and "Yacht" decoration of the selector lever ACPP. Thirdly, there is a regular box armrest, and its longitudinal location can be adjusted.
Finally, the leather interior is offered for top versions (although such a proposal works more like a solidity rather than youth image), but you could have younger settings, in my opinion, it would be possible to add carnival - well, at least at the expense of bright color inserts In tissue upholstery.

To the Russian winter - ready!
Marka Kia was the first to start to equip the cars of younger, budget classes with such an option as heated steering wheel. Naturally,she is present and in the new Rio. But the heated steering and seats of the front row did not limit itself. Rear sofa is also equipped with electric"Grads", and, perhaps, this proposal can be called unique to the + segment.

Well, in addition, heating elements are equipped with side mirrors, windshield and washer nozzles. And the volume of the washer tank is increased from 4 to 4.6 liters. Indeed, it is these 600 "cubes" may not be enough to get home on slakchenya winter Roadwithout stopping on the road to topping the liquid into the tank. On the other hand, there is such a moment: the dear "non-freezing" is sold in our bottles of 4 liters, but the budget - 5. What exactly will the owners of such relative inexpensive carlike Rio, even discussing, and 5 liters in the tank still will not fit. You will have to clean the trunk almost an empty bank, and the trunk has its own oddities.
Sim-sim, open!
Middle fuel consumption
6.0 (6.6) l per 100 km
The fact is that the trunk of the new Rio is equipped with an electronic lock. You can open it, or by pressing the button on the keychain, or with the lever located on the floor near the driver's door. Top versions are affected by an intelligent trunk unlocking system. It works like this: come to a locked car with a key in your pocket (naturally, behind) and stand with a dumb reprocess for three seconds.
The car recognizes the key, understands what the owner came, and without any "magic Pendel", on his part, he opens the trunk, and the powerful springs immediately raise the lid on a sufficient height. The system really works (we checked) and really convenient if you left the supermarket with a bunch of packs in your hands.
But, as I said, such a system is equipped with all configurations - this is once. And if you needed to take something from the luggage compartment, and you left already open car, leaving the keychain in the cabin, forgetting at the same time to pull the very lever at the threshold, then the trunk will not open, and you will have to go back to the driver's door - these are two. Because there is simply no outdoor keys at the trunk ... and sorry.
And what under the hood?
So far, the gamma of power units includes two engines already acquainted nEW HYUNDAI Solaris.it new engine KAPPA 1,4 MPI with Dual-CVVT system, 1,368 cubic meters. cm and a capacity of 100 hp, and a seriously modified GAMMA 1,6 MPI motor volume of 1,591 cubic meters. See he develops 123 hp And it is capable of issuing 156 nm of torque, leaving on the peak indicator at 6,300 revolutions.
Of course, such a traction can not be called "locomotive", but Kia engineers seriously tinked with the settings, raising torque in the range from 1,500 to 2,500 revolutions by 7-10%. All cars presented on the dough were equipped with such an engine with two transmission options, a six-speed mechanical and six-speed automatic, so that all my comments regarding the dynamics and in general the behavior of the car on the road belong only to this motor.
Integration problems
For Rio there are two variants of the media system. The first, with a monochrome display, equipped with the "younger" configuration of Classic, Comfort, Luxe and Prestige, and only Prestige is equipped with a Bluetooth module for connecting the phone in Hands-Free mode. Well, because for Prestige only automatic transmission is provided, it turns out that the numerous car owners on the "handle" will be forced to either buy separate device loud communicationor violate the law, and at the same time and risk the security of both your own and other participants in the movement.
But to the services of buyers of the top version of Premium - a new AVN 5.0 media system with a 7-inch monitor, rear view chamber, navigation with the possibility of receiving traffic information and integration with smartphones through the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto systems. Alas, I still can not call such integration. The system provides access to certain smartphone resources - in particular, to musical tracks and incoming text messages. But you will not be able to use a multitude of installed applications.

For example, included Android AUTO - please use navigation capabilities Google Maps, and this package in principle is not able to work in the offline mode.No other navigation services, such as a popular Yandex Navigator, are not available for you. That is, available, but only directly on the screen of the smartphone. In this regard, the approach that the company offers seems to me much more versatile and promising.

Just add sound
The entire first day of the test drive, which started on the Cross Island in St. Petersburg and passed on the roads of the Leningrad region, I spent the car in the configuration of LUX Cmechanical box. First of all, I note that I easily found a convenient position for myself, although I have quite specific preferences: I love to sit as high as possible and with a sufficiently vertically located back. But even with the maximum lifting of the seat, I did not have to move it until it stops back, and adjustable not only on the corner, but also by departure steering column gave the opportunity to find a position at which both hands are comfortable and dashboard Nothing closes.
The fact that the car turned out is really very energetic, I understood immediately when, when you try to quickly start from the traffic light, the engine snapped and scrolled the wheels on dry asphalt. Well, on the track, I fully appreciated the efforts of the torque enhancement engineers on relatively low and medium-sized turns: Rio confidently accelerated on the fifth and even sixth gear from a speed of 50-60 km / h.
Naturally, for overtaking, it was necessary to switch down, but it did not cause any difficulties: the moves of the lever are small, selectivity is high, you do not need to pull the highest gears, and the switching itself can be carried out with short busy movements. The engine is very responsive and willingly spin up to 5-6 thousand revolutions, but also in the "economical" zone, it does not turn into a complete plant. At the same time on idling The motor is not heard at all, but in the "slipper to the floor" mode, the sound fills the salon, adding adrenaline into the blood.
In general, subjectively Rio and with "mechanics", and with the "automatic" is perceived as a very dynamic car. Of course, this is not a sports car, and it is worth considering that 10.3 (for version with the manual transmission) or 11.2 (for an automatic box) second to "hundreds" - this is not the same as 5-6 seconds that demonstrate Powerful hot hatchbacks. But in itself this indicator for the B + segment is very good: in any case, and Skoda Rapid And VW Polo Sedan with a 1.6-liter motor accelerate a little slower.
An attempt is counted!
Volume of luggage compartment
In the past, the suspension and steering Kia Rio caused a lot of complaints, especially in active drivers. Naturally, the developers of the new generation Riocould not leave these aspects without their attention. They did not leave. First, the electric amplifier was prescribed on the steering rail, which changed the hydraulics-based assembly. EUR certainly is a device more flexible, and in principle it can provide higher accuracy of management, but only if the correct settings are correct.
So, with this task, the developers accurately coped: the sensitivity in the incomplete zone is quite high, the force transmitted to the steering wheel allows you to very accurately dispense the angle of rotation. It also affects the fact that the geometry of the front suspension was completely recycled, and the caster (the angle of the longitudinal tilt axis of the car wheel) was increased from 4.1 to 4.6 degrees. It is from this indicator that the force is dependent, striving to return the wheel in the initial position when the wheel is deviated from the straight movement.
The stability and stability of the behavior of the car and on the line, and the turns are determined by the entire complex, which includes steering, and suspension, both front and rear. Here we also see very big changes. If on Rio QBthe rear shock absorbers were located at an angle of 25 degrees to the vertical, then in the new generation they got up almost vertically, with an angle of only 8.4 degrees, and it immediately gave effect. And Rio and Solaris previous generation suffered from the fact that their rear axle "Rearranged" on the irregularities.
I can not say that the car completely got rid of this ailment, but the scale of its manifestation decreased radically. A straight car is generally stable as flying scrap, and even on a very uneven road does not require active infringement. If irregularity turns out to be a trajectory of vigorous turn, then the rear axle stops, but the change in the trajectory is easily steamed due to the accuracy of the steering.
It is worth noting that the suspension of the nearest relative and the main competitor of Rio, Hyundai Solaris was modified at about the same way, but it seemed to me that with a fine setting task KIA engineers coped a little better, and I would like to note the well-found balance between the rigidity that gives you the opportunity active taxiing, and comfort, including on poor asphalt with beatings and pita.
And I immediately remembered how noisy it seemed to me new Solaris. . Maybe all the case in the tires (we tested the car in the winter, and it was wound in winter tires, which, naturally, the noise is significantly more), and maybe the designers Hyundai decided to save on noise insulation ... anyway, the fact remains a fact: noise in the Salon Rio, of course, is present, but in general does not strain.
Car guns, in the attack!
Statistics, as you know, knows everything, and recent studies irrefutably testify: popularity automatic transmissions Russia is growing steadily. This growth in popularity also affected the budget segments, where recently the only rule of the mechanic ball.
The policy of different brands in the "automation" question varies greatly: some bet on robotic boxes with double clutch, others - on sainless transmissions. But Kia. 
In a calm movement mode (namely, it is still the main one for the segment of the segment), the switching is practically not felt, and the delays at the kicdaun do not go beyond acceptable. Well, if you have a certain critical overtaking (say, you see that in a few hundred meters you will enter the zone of action of the banning sign), then it is enough to pull the selector to the left, and then on yourself, transferring the box to manual mode and switched to a pair of gear down . As soon as the car "will shoot", you can return the lever to its original position and finish the maneuver in the "automaton" mode.
Summing up, I can say that I liked the car, and I liked the entire set of parameters, from the length of the seat pillows and the convenience of planting to the control features. As for individual deficiencies, it seems that there is no hands-free with the connection of the phone through the Harald Blue Tooth Protocol in the younger trim or the external trunk lock - so who has no such drawbacks? Moreover, they are perceived as trifles that are not able to spoil the overall impression.
Your voiceWe present to your attention a video review and test drive of the new Kia Rio Luxe 2017.
Appearance
In fact, Kiya Rio is a twin Hundai Solaris, but there is still difference. And first of all, they are in the image of the new Kia Rio 2017, which is positioned as a more sporty, more aggressive. And this is his main difference from Solaris.
The car was built on a new platform, he became more and even approached the class S. The car lengthened by 3 cm (also the wheelbase), Kia Rio 2017 became more comfortable and more spacious.
The design also changed, it became more like Hundai. Now they do not always discern where the Hundai model, and where is Kia. Kia Rio 2017 looks more modern than European analogs ( volkswagen models, Skoda Rapid) - Unusual headlights, unusual bumper shapes, radiator cladding, rear optics.
LED DRL, the same rear lights (Uniform matte lamp). Luxe FCC 2017 Chrome Handles Doors. But this is more expensive at version, and the version is simpler - ordinary headlights with incandescent lamps, no LEDs. Wheel disks 15 or 16-inch, but the first behave better, especially on bad roads.
There is a huge number of options that can be disposed of:
- so that the car itself closes and opened without a key,
- started when pressed the button,
- lED DRL.
The most advanced in the Magnetola segment with Hard Play support, very fast.
Specifications
Motors for 1.4 and 1.6 liters. 1.4 per 99.5 horsepower, fully recycled and adapted to the legislation of Russia. Motor 1.6 l per 122 horsepower Also noticeably processed - a changeable inlet path appeared, it was replaced by plastic. It is bad that the power remained the same, and the torque - fell. But, on the other hand, now the motor can be very promoted.
Acceleration up to 100 km is not impressive: on the mechanics - 10.3 seconds, on the machine - 11.2. And on the motor 1.4 liters, in general, more than 12 seconds. The box works well, a five-speed handle, switch short. It is covered with skin and pleasant to the touch.
The main minus - the headlights of the machines with a motor of 1.4 liters (at the time of the video recruitment they have not yet been sold) ordinary reflex, simple halogen. And everyone else is searchlight with lenses, but also halogen. But it looks not very good. The melee beam is frankly weak and not very far away.
We continue the review of the new Kia Rio, consider the salon in the configuration "Lux". All the added free space was sent to it. But the trunk has become less due to the fact that changed rear suspension And put the rear shock absorbers almost vertically (before they were under the tilt).
New instrument panel and on-board computer. Supervision console on the steering wheel. New Rule, with buttons for versions of more expensive (starting with Comfort).
In the cheapest version there will be no magnetic, there will be the so-called radio technique. Versions are more expensive, two versions of the radio: monochrome with a small screen, and the most expensive models - New, C Hard Play. Magnitol works almost instantly, costs from 300 thousand rubles.
There is a climate control unit. Heating windshield and janitor rear glass and steering wheel. Seats or fabric, or leather interior in the car is more expensive. There are basic airbags. Automatic transmission. Equipped with air conditioning even in the cheapest versions.
The main difference of the expensive version is multimedia.
Touch screen, which works very well. Not a glass screen, but a matte film, but in general is not bad. He is also not shuffled. Many space on rear seatsBut there is no profiling on the back sofa. Little place in height.
Driving performance
The suspension design is strongly reworked and it is now almost the same as on Elantra. Front Macpherson, rear - beam. But in contrast to Solaris here the suspension is tougher. Preserved "jumping" of previous versions of Rio.
Noise isolation is really bad.
If you drive at small speeds, then nothing is heard. But when the speed comes to 70 km / h, then a crazy tire buzz appears, and after 100 km / h - also aerodynamic noise. The construction of the car body was also processed, special noise absorbing materials were used, but the success is not particularly felt. Everything else is great.
On the mechanics, the car is very dynamic, and on the machine everything is very measured and slowly switches, which sometimes displays.
Conclusion
The top package of a new model Kia Rio 2017 is 1 million rubles, and a little simpler - from 779 to 900 thousand. And - these are machines on mechanics.
In Kia, you understand that the car is cheap, but there is no feeling that outdated. Understandable devices, nothing superfluous. There is no lumbar backup, like Solaris. Rio and Solaris are distinguished by nuances, Kia Rio Hatchback 2017 more drivers. But the difference is minimal. The main difference is the design, LUXE FCC 2017 - the prestige class machine.
Kia Rio 2017-2018 refers to the fourth generation of popular Korean production sedans. The start of sales is scheduled for the end of 2017 and now you can look at the latest modification.
Design of the new body Kia Rio
In contrast, the new Kia Rio received a discreet design and a harmonious array of the radiator grille. The headlights have undergone updates: the front is equipped with LED optics, and the rear was renewed with the original LED garland.
You can not miss the type and massive air intake, with compact fogy Farams. The bumper came a little further and because of this, the car acquired his own "character", became more aggressive. In the design of the body itself, the calculation of aerodynamicity is used. Therefore, Kia Rio has become smoother and streamlined.
Interior of the cabin Kia Rio
Everything else, the salon has changed beyond recognition. There are many decorative elements from aluminum. These are gloves, door handles and so on. The interior of the car has several color styles of design and variety in finishing materials. By increasing the size of the body, the salon became more spacious.
The unusual salon is given a bright backlight of all devices that are located on the panel. The steering wheel is made in a multifunctional version. A climate block appeared in the cabin and the design of the radio tape recorder has changed.
The design of the cabin became modern, but more concise. Despite all the placed instruments, they compactly fit into the interior. Equipping the cabin includes: alarm, on-board computer, navigation system and power steering.
From the main features, it is worth noting the presence of heating windshield and seats, attention attracts modern climate control with the control system is built in the system of secure access to the cabin and the function buttons start and disconnect the engine. The interior of the cabin meets modern requirements and can apply for the rank of cars with good functional characteristics.
Changes in overall sizes of 4 generations
Comparing with previous models, the new Kia Rio has become longer. The size is increased to 4400 mm, as well as a new wheelbase - 2600 mm. dimensions Equal: 174 mm - width and 147 cm - height. New sedan It became wider by 40 mm. And longer than 23 mm. It is worth noting that the distance between the axes was up to 30 mm. Without changes remained ground clearanceused with old model.
