New Kia Rio X Line Test Drive. Test Drive Kia Rio X-Line. Unexpected update. Strong and weaknesses of X-line

This car was born under the pressure of the Russian representative office of Kia. It was our guys who persuaded the headquarters in Seoul to lift the hatchback by 10 mm and equip plastic overlays around the perimeter (China, a similar machine is also present on whose market, it took an example from Russia, and not vice versa). Of course, a full crossover Rio X-Line With the declared clearance, 170 mm did not, but it was visually in a trend. By the way, the name "X-Line" was also invented. And Russian engineers were engaged in the suspension setting.

Alive Rio X-Line looks significantly harmonious direct competitors in the face Renault Sandero. Stepway I. Lada Xray.. Personally, this car resembles the subaru XV of the first generation most of all - the one that has been produced from 2006 to 2011 with Impreza named. The battle with also looks more than real. Rio X-Line wheel base (2600 mm) is even more than a relative competitor (2590 mm). And the declared volume of the cross-rio trunk is a considerable 390 liters. For comparison: Krett has 402 liters.

Bonus, of course, goes. If the Start-started setting for 799,900 rubles is deprived of air conditioner, heating the front seats, the leather handlers of the steering wheel and even the shelves of the trunk, then the basic Rio X-Line for 774,900 will all be. And it does not matter that at the disposal of the cheap modifications of the Rio 1.4-liter 100-strong engine. If you believe in factory data, in overclocking up to hundreds of X-Line c, such a motor will yield to 1,6-liter Cutter only half a second. And the previous experience of communication with proves - the initial motor, in general, is enough.

For the first journalistic dating, KIA representatives allocated two top modifications of Rio X-Line - Prestige AV and Premium. Both are equipped with a 1.6-liter power motor 123, and the difference, in addition to the features of the finish (the interior of the Premium version is covered with leatherette) and small external differences (rear lights Premium - LED), comes down to the use of tires different dimension. At Prestige AV at the factory, 185/65 R15 tires are installed, Premium gets 195/55 R16. As it turned out after a test drive of both versions, the difference between them is more than noticeable.

After the first kilometers behind the wheel of Rio X-Line on 16-inch wheels it was difficult to believe their feelings! I remember well how excitement is managed and what is reliably cling to the Rio-sedan arc, and here is an empty steering wheel with a blurry "zero", rucking on straight and hard "rearrangements" of the stern on the most innocuous road junctions. Usually this difference in behavior and is not closely treated with the installation of more "fatty" high-profile tires, so the idea of \u200b\u200bthe incompetence of Russian engineers has been crying. It is necessary to spoil the car so much!

And even stronger surprise, I experienced when I moved to Rio X-Line on 15-inch wheels with a similar "velcro" Nokian Hakkapeliitta. And realized that before engineers should be apologized. In this configuration, Rio X-Line is almost the same as well as. Manage it is incomparably more pleasant than Xrem or Sandero Stepway.. And yes - on asphalt, he definitely rides no worse than Creta. Moreover - regardless of the type rear suspension Crossover Hyundai.

On the settlement, the energy intensity of the Rio X-Line, as a whole, is sufficient, but it is a bit more complicated with competitors. It seems to me that the smoothness of the stroke to the Krett and Sandero, the novelty Kia still displaces. However, if you frankly do not overdo it at speed, KIA suspension is not easy to force to work on a hang. And with the rigidity of the body, Rio X-Line is generally all right. When diagonal hanging, the fifth door flies slightly, but it closes without any problems. Creet cases in similar conditions are somewhat worse.

The rest of the Rio X-Line is the same Rio-sedan with perfectly known advantages and disadvantages. Cross-hat has the same European interior, made of hard, but quite enjoyable plastic, the same level of noise insulation, which is clearly not enough if unwinding the motor is above 4500 revolutions. And also - almost as rainbow market prospects, because already in the basic execution of Rio X-Line - a full, ready-to-use car. For quite adequate

Rio X-Line is, as it is called it in the company, raised cross-hatchback based on the Hyundai-Kia GB platform last generation. In its essence, this car is a hatchback, but due to high depreciation racks and high body cars are like cars of class mini-crossovers. In theory of the company, the new Rio X-Line must compile direct competition of Lada Vesta SW Cross and Sundero Stepway from Renault.

Features of the crash test

The new Hatchtbek Kia Rio with the X-Line console is a specialized version of the Rio Hatchback for Russia and the CIS countries. The car appeared on sale in many countries a few months later than the fourth generation of the original Rio. Thus, the first buses of this car came from the conveyor in mid-October, these cars came to buyers even later - by mid-November. In this regard, the crash tests of the new cross-hatchback, the independent office has not yet been carried out. Unlike the model in the body of a sedan and ordinary hatchback, which checked for safety and durability in Latin America and the EU. Crush test Kia Rio. X-Line should be expected from Euro NCAP by the end of the outgoing year, because All parts of the new car, the interior and even equipping 75% repeat the original model.

Judging from the tests of Rio fourth generationThe machine turns out to be almost in the middle of the rating in terms of pedestrian protection. So, the car scored 62 out of 100 points on this indicator. An adult passenger and driver will be able to count on a security of 85%, and the child is 84%. Level additional options security is estimated at 25%, as for basic configuration Auto, where there are no profile pillows and some security tools. The overall assessment of the basic configuration of the car was estimated in 3 of 5 points.

Rio 2018 was tested in the Hatchback version, but this hatchback differs from X-Line equipping and positioning. On the test of the European NCAP branch, it was the hatchback that was tested with 6 pillows equipped with the Advanced Driving Assistance Pack system, this feature includes elements such as pedestrian protection in the city with emergency brakingProviding security in long-distance travel, keeping the car on its follow-up band. This version of Rio scored in the crash test of 93 points out of 100 security for the driver and adult passenger, 84 points - for a child and 71 points for a pedestrian, additional security tools are estimated at 59 points.

The main shortcomings on the crash test

To find out the exact indicators of the Rio X-Line crash test today, it is not possible today, but judging by the testing of the Hatchback Rio for the EU market, the car can withstand most of the loads obtained during the accident. So, the body model at front collision Low-forming, with secondary impact systems, the security system is triggered in a regular mode, the only thing that causes fears - airbags. So, the front passenger pillows and the driver are revealed with insufficient pressure To ensure safety at the bottom of the pillow. In fact, when the disclosure of these elements, there is a possibility that the driver or passenger can still hit the forehead about the torpedo or the steering wheel, although not critical. According to this indicator, pillows and rear passengers suffer from which sitting from the back can get trash injuries.

The body strength is ensured by ultra-high-strength steel AHSS, which made it possible to strengthen the body of the model, especially this is noticeable in collisions, it also became better and the stiffness of the body for twist, which made the model of the model safer for passengers.

From future Rio X-Line crash tests in the basic version, you should expect averaged results between Rio Sedan and Rio Hatchback at the best equipment.

Good day to everyone. I will tell you a little about my new Kia Rio X-Line, the car was purchased on November 25, 2017 in the basic configuration with AT transmission with engine 1.6. Purchased was 839.9 thousand rubles. From the additional options it was installed: engine protection, carpets in the cabin and trunk, rear windows tinted and alarm.

Kia Rio X-Line, 2017

Very beautiful car, looks stylish, has, in my opinion, a sporty look. The color of Kia Rio X-Line is very pleased with the eyes, especially in the sun, on the TCP brown, in fact the color of coffee with milk with metallic. The front looks good, but the feed is generally a beauty. Door's handles are not very, it would be better in body color. Now about the salon - the chair is very comfortable, comfortable to sit, you can adjust even for a small increase (we have such a problem with polo), the upholstery of fabric, but good quality. The disadvantage is a short armrest. IN salon Kia. Rio X-Line is enough space. The instrument panel also liked, it reads very well (compared to the polo - the sky and the earth), the illumination is pleasant for the eyes. The control buttons are convenient, in my opinion, everything is at hand. In comparison with the polo - in the Kia Rio X-Line salon during the movement is not noisy, you can safely talk and listen to music. The engine noise is practically not heard, but while the machine is on the run-in, the speed is low, and the engine is not very promoted. The visibility is good, but I would like side mirrors more size. The dimensions of the car are well felt, even his wife was just driving a car after Chevrolet Spark. Big plus for this configuration of the car - the camera of the rear view and parking sensors, the wife parked parallel to the parking lot from the first time (she needed time to learn to learn). There is still a very good option: in dark time The day when the steering wheel is rotated, the additional headlight is turned on to illuminate the turn, which greatly facilitates the trip to the unlit part of the road (especially in the private sector, where there are no sidewalks, but there are children and dogs). In general, I really liked the headlight of the car, the headlights are linced, the large highlighting sector of the road and the rook, even in the near light. There is a mode automatic inclusion headlights Pleased with climate control, comfortable temperature inside the entire cabin, there is no such feeling that heats only in his feet or face. According to the first impressions: pendant Kia. Rio X-Line works softly, the car keeps the road well, even in a track, the car does not swim, the holes also goes to a bang. What to say about the automatic transmission: it works very smoothly, when switching gears, the jerks are not felt, you can only see the tachometer. The only drawback is when stopping in front of the traffic light (at the intersection), when you press the brake there is a light vibration. Now about the brakes: very responsive, it is possible to say gentle, you need to contact as your beloved woman - gentle. Yes, I forgot to write about the Kia Rio X-Line trunk - quite spacious, there is enough space for travel on vacation with medium baggage. In general, the first impressions of ownership kia car Rio X-Line is very positive, the car suits absolutely in all indicators.

Dignity : appearance. Pleasant salon. Equipment. It holds the road well and worries irregularities.

disadvantages : Not noticed.

Kia Rio X-Line, 2017

First about the pros. For me, this is, in fact, another car, unlike all practically parameters for the previous 3rd generation (restyling). Suspension (I haven't deepened in the technical component) Other, the car is better holding the road, at speeds over 100-120 feed does not throw as on the previous car, I am sure that something was done with the beam. In turns to enter pleasant and, despite the increased clearance, the rolls are less. Perhaps just this subjective observation, but I remember, before I kept the steering wheel, already the fingers crunched. Engine and box. Earlier we had 1.4 on a 4-speed automatic machine. In principle, it is enough for the city, consumption is about 7-8 liters. Now 1.6 on a 6-speed, the difference is tangible, overtaking confident, the flow while closer to 9. The engine operation is more elastic in the entire turn range. Salon. Well, here I said right away that if I was planted in a car pre-closing my eyes and showing that it was Kia Rio X-Line - I would never say that Kia Rio X-Line. Inside it looks like the salons per class, or even two above. Spenually we are talking about the premium configuration. Spaces more, all ergonomically, beautifully and where it should be. Magnitol is very smart. I thought, navigation would be terrible, the personal guessed, it works fine, I used to use a couple of times, it all adequately calculates and leads. The steering wheel is very pleasant to the touch with all the control, speakerphone high quality dashboard It is similar to the Germans, designers are felt in Kia from a large German triple. Leather, though artificial and 500 km, not an indicator, but like good quality, with perforation even. Heated frontal - this is generally a separate topic.

Now, what no longer liked. Shumka. It is almost no. Here I remembered how three managers from different salons were offered to additionally make noise insulation of the bottom in two layers. Spikes heard strongly, I think you have to sample it yourself. As far as I know, the first car even fell under the response campaign because of Shumkov and getting water due to leakage in the rear lights. Plastic salon. He is beautiful and careful until it hook it, it is worth it to hook it a little, as a scratch or loss is visible. For me, he is too gentle, as, for example, I love to cling the bottom of the seat to the foot when I sit in the car. Heated windshield, which I praised above, has its minus, namely the mesh. If you are going, focusing on the road, then everything is fine, but it is worth noting her, as she immediately interferes. The image at different angles and with different illumination is refracted, for example, at night with oncoming headlights, it is a little annoying, as if a fuzzy image. Bardac just tin. The A4 format will not make anything, if nothing bothers, if the palm is big, it is trite uncomfortable to put something and get it out of it.

Dignity : Look review.

disadvantages : Look review.

Kia Rio X-Line, 2018

Good car for your money. All heated, top music, rear view camera, good light, spacious interior, good suspension, price and quality. Not big flow, Spare parts of a spear. I did not like the Kia Rio X-Line noise insulation. Definitely need to be improved. Well, in general, take, you will not regret, I advise. Sign X - Will notice you everywhere, automatic switches, the engine works, the wheels are spinning. Heated frontal. On fishing theity, the clearance is high, put big wheels and spacers under the springs. Now as on UAZ, you can in the swamp.

Dignity : appearance. Reliability. Build quality. Rich equipment.

disadvantages : safety. Noise isolation. Price.

Kia Rio X-Line, 2018

Impression. Engine 123 forces - I miss my eyes. I go according to the rules. It works quietly. Pendant upset. Kia Rio X-Line compared to "Logan" more facing, frisky, suspension is rigid and not at all energy intensive. Poses your bang. The interior and the options were very pleased. "Duster" did not even closely stood on the equipment. Climate, heated, good sound. Plastic does not creak, nothing inside is no cozy, everything is as needed. The glove box is small, but, and well. Pockets grabs. There are many places ahead, from behind, of course, less. In "Logan" was more. Exterior - Well, there is an amateur. I like it a lot. Moreover, especially white color. The box is normal. Smooth switching, adequate transmissions, 6 steps. At a speed of 170 km / h turns around 4000. pleased. Shumka, well, probably mediocre. Although I'm not committed, I honestly, speaking, anyway. Nothing swelling carrots did not eat. Exploitation. There is nothing to say. Consumption keeps 8.4 liters, mixed cycle, Operation is mostly urban. Once every two week, a trip to the neighboring city of 150 km in both directions. Gasoline Lew 92. We recently traveled Yekaterinburg-Kazan 1000 km in one direction. The seats are very comfortable, the back is not tired at all. Cruising speed 130 km. The car is very comfortable, the road keeps well, overtakes confidently. Off-road qualities (this is the crossback crossback, raised, all things) checked very simple. When parking from a border, I decided to remember the solid clearance, to reach it with wheels. As a result, I broke myself an anterior overlay. Since then, I go, like a simple mortal, on cleaned and smooth roads. Outcome. In my opinion, an excellent car in the price / quality ratio. Everything is done well, qualitatively. Of course, 9,00000 rubles is still very expensive for Kia Rio X-Line. Red price is 600,000. But nothing is better not cheaper. Is that a sedan to take some, but the soul does not lie to him. Well, Vesta Cross. But I do not trust. I want a small, and the shed on the wheels. And slightly raised. For a young family with 2 children, too perfect. In short, a normal budget car for simple workers. That's all I wanted to say.

Dignity : Reliability. Controllability. Appearance.

disadvantages : fuel consumption. Suspension.

Mikhail, Moscow

You remember the times of wild car boom: the end of the nineties, when the car is on a par with mobile phone, became an ordinary thing? Yes, old, yes for one and a half or two thousand "U.E.", but able to move. "Golf", "Passat", "Chisels" and "Beehi" went into the people, and together with the hurricane growth of business on the delivery of spare parts and the sale of auto-organs from the killed cars, a new word appeared - "tuning". When the "youth audience" joined the steering wheel, as marketers now say, it turned out that many people are missing just enough cars, which, about a miracle, waiting for you at the entrance and can move. It wanted to distinguish between everyone, not shaking beards. "Blue Pysens", wheels on spacers and everything in such a spirit, you remember. All this torment was washed off new high-quality cars On credit, when cheap Tsatski, in combination with holey thresholds, began to look completely stupid. Now anyone understands not only the fact that the shelf on the trunk does not add admiration, but also the fact that there is such a thing - design. If it was created, not a designer, and the welder, it doesn't seem to do with the pininphyrine.

The current Kia Rio is practically impossible: at least to work, even at the cottage, at least in a taxi. So good, what is bored? You do not want as a taxi? Yes please - get a professional tuning of this class that the car would look like thousands of two hundred more expensive, it would be easy to find out sedan Rio.. New hatch Rio X-Line with a view has no more common with Rio-seed than Cinderella in the kitchen with itself on the ball. But they are so close in everything, except wardrobe and meikapa.

Rearly recognize Rio in Cross-Hatch Beck is the hardest thing: a license plate on it, unlike a sedan, a place, dwelled blade under the deflector of the rear bumper, and the silhouette with wheel arch expansion and the roof rails did not leave the reference to boredom. On the side of Moldings added passion lines, in front of the lower Radiator zev widely broke the lower corners in the rally spirit. Even the clearance went to benefit - the compact visually added not only in size, but also, no matter how paradoxically, in sports.

Just need to remember: Technically, this is all the same Rio - not a crossover and not an SUV. No need to ask us to drive the X-Line on the tank polygon and hang the wheels. The drive here is the front, behind the beam, and in general, everything is the same as on the sedan. Almost the same. Because the sedan on the go for the machines of its class is close to immaculate. X-Line on good roads Rides a little less interesting. It is not so stripped on a straight line, and its suspension is not as well balanced by comfort and manageability. There are no words, the car is high-quality, and not to complain about what, but also there is a difference with the sedan. And the most tangible - in maximum configuration On 16-wheels: Pos-Kolka and stumps from the "lying police" and the pits are tougher, and rolls and squats on the front outer wheel in the corners of the raised and shortened car more. On basic tires 185 / 65R15 X-Line goes much better. Especially on bad and slipways, for which the X-Line simply flies. A plus standard tires And harmoniously combined with all the elastokinematics of the suspension in the turns on the level asphalt, and the direct hold better, and less vibrations and shaking are transmitted to the salon.

Lada Vesta SW Cross
Close prices, more space inside, not so good on the go

Cross-hatchback is more expensive than sedan in a similar configuration for 30,000 rubles, and its trunk is less than 90 litas. This is the whole patch for style, beauty and clearance. There are not only external, but also practical advantages: the corners of the exit will give more freedom on Ughab and borders, in Parks, the hatch beek needs 15 cm less space, and the suspension energy intensity will allow you to travel on a broken road.

The configuration is similar to those proposed for a sedan, for the exclusion of the basic version of Classic, in which the X-Line is not available. Hatch also goes with engines 100 and 123 hp 1.4 and 1.6 with a machine or mechanic, and its "warm options" are the same complete - up to the heating of the rear seats.

New kia rio x online Price which was declared in the fall of 2017 turned out to be quite an attractive offer And it may well be a competition of a domestic novelty of Vesta Sv Cross, which we have already written. Let's not go in comparison, soon buyers themselves will identify the winner in this fight.

Kia Rio X-Line is essentially an ordinary hatching Rio with an abundance of off-road plastic protection and minimal changes in the suspension that allowed to increase 10 centimeters of clearance. Comfortable and practical 5-door body, the original appearance is unlikely to attract lovers of real off-road. However, modern and stylish dachers model may well be interested.

Exterior Kia Rio x Line It is a copy of the Chinese model KIA K2 Cross. The Russian division of the Korean concern did not invent a bicycle, and they took the ready-made car from the neighboring market, especially since the aggregate base of X Laina and the Sedana Rio is common. The usual hatchback (which is sold in the same China, but left our market) received plastic body kit, bumper with silver inserts, a new radiator grille, decorative rails. The back has its own original lights and a good design with a large opening making machine as practical as possible.

Salon "off-road" Rio Almost no different from the interior of the usual sedan. True, the other form of body has made its own adjustments to the back. Now, if you wish, you can completely fold rear seats And turn the car into a minibar. The quality of the materials and their fit is as always at a very high level, in this plan models of this manufacturer you can put the highest ball. A pretty decent wheelbase in 2600 mm will allow the rear passengers with acceptable comfort.

The luggage compartment holds only 390 liters. Despite the deceptive type of station wagon, it is an ordinary hatchback, which is 16 centimeters shorter than sedan. These centimeters cut off just from the back. If you fully fold the back of the rear sofa, then the flat site does not work, but the loading volume is significantly increased.

Specifications Kia Rio X-Line

Road clearance in 17 centimeters may not be sufficient for trips to our country. However, this is all that the Korean designers from the 16-centimeter clearance of the usual sedan could squeeze. If you make a lumen more, it is a significant alteration of the suspension, complete reversal of the steering and the use of mass original detailswhich also need to be developed. In general, no one was going to invest serious resources in Rio X-Line.

Therefore, in the technical part there are no surprises, complete unification with the sedan. Front-wheel drive With independent suspension "MacPherson", behind a semi-dependent suspension with a deformable beam. Rache steering with an electric amplifier.

As a basic motor, a gasoline 1.4 liter aggregate developing 100 hp And capable of digesting the gasoline of the AI-92 brand. The engine with an aluminum cylinder block and the timing chain drive is a double system of changing the phases of gas distribution and fit into the most stringent environmental standards. From the gearboxes, you can select a 6-speed manager or a 6-range automatic machine.

More powerful 1.6 liter 16-valve gas engine Develops 123. horsepower and has a similar design. The motor is combined with 6-st. mechanical and automatic checkpoint. For a more powerful motor put a transmission with others gear ratiosthat significantly affects the dynamics.

By the way, if on all packages of Kia Rio previous generation From the back there were exclusively disc brakes, today there are drums in cheap versions. This applies not only to the new generation sedan, but also Rio X-Line. Next, mass-dimensional characteristics of the model.
