In our country, Kia Rio is a model, first of all, using popularity thanks to the combination of price / quality. However, in Europe, things are different, because here, a completely different machine is implemented under this name. The car in the specification for the old world was represented by the public in March 2011 at the Geneva Looks, and in the fall of 2014, his updated version made his updated version on the stage of the car dealership in Paris.
"European" Kia Rio is available in two body versions - three- or five-door hatchbackBut independently of the modification looks bright and dynamically, largely due to the actual corporate identity.

Torpedo "affects" mainly hard plastics, but there are no frankly budget materials in the car.
The front chairs of the "European" Kia Rio are characterized by optimal support in terms of edges, soft filling and sufficient settings. Formally, a three-seater rear sofa with a maximum convenience will only take two passengers for which the space of space will be with sufficient on all fronts.
In the Hatchback Arsenal (regardless of the number of doors) - modest in volume luggage compartmentcapable of accommodating 288 liters of boot. The second row of seats is placed by asymmetric parts into a flat cargo platform, due to which the maximum capacity increases to 923 liters.

As a basic, 1.25-liter unit protruding 83 horsepower at 6000 rpm and 122 Nm of torque at 4000 rpm, and a pair with it is 5-speed "mechanics". Such a hatchback leaves behind the first hundred after 12.9 seconds, and its "maximum" is limited at a mark of 168 km / h.
The most productive option is a 1.4-liter 107-strong, the return of which is 137 nm, starting from 4200 rpm. Two - 6-speed MCP or 4-range ACPs are assigned to it for it. Depending on the modification, the car is capable of accelerating to 170-183 km / h, disintegrating up to 100 km / h in 11-12.7 seconds (in favor of manual transmission).
The diesel part is formed by two turbocked engines: 1.1-liter, developing 74 "horses" at 4000 rpm and 180 Nm of torque at 1750-2500 rev / minute, or 1.4-liter with potential in 89 horse power and 240 nm with a similar number of revolutions. For aggregates heavy fuel Exclusive "mechanics" is available for six gears, which helps him to ensure the conquest of the mark of 100 km / h after 13.4-16.1 seconds and peak opportunities in 160-169 km / h.
Everything power plants On the third Rio, the "Euro-6" environmental standards are responsible for the European market and the default is combined with the "Start Stop" technology. Gasoline versions of the hatchback in the combined cycle of the movement cost 5-6.3 liters of fuel, and only 3.3-3.8 liters of diesel fuel are required by diesel versions.
The "Third Rio" is based on the front-wheel drive platform with MacPherson racks in the design of the front axle and semi-dependent rear suspension with a torsion beam.

Any vehicle will say you: There are no foreign cars in Russia more popular Kia Rio. It will take quite a bit of time and the dealers will have a new generation machine. Today, finally, we learned how the Russian version will look like korean sedan And when it appears from dealers.
Some may surprise the fact that Kia Rio New Generations are already available in Europe, recently sales of the model began in Ukraine. And we still have no. It turns out, we "behind the planet all"? Not certainly in that way. The fact is that the hatchback is sold in Europe, which with Russian Rio has little in common. Our "Rio" - "Reprint" from the Chinese KIA K2, demonstrated in the Middle Kingdom last year. Why didn't she appear before? Because in Russia first waited for the premiere new Hyundai. Solaris, with which Rio is the twins brothers.
It turns out that Kia Rio new generation is unique only externally. Chassis and power units in new items as well as new Hyundai Solaris.. Well, let's talk about appearance. The new "Rio" received a narrow radiator grille, stretched headlamps, thin jumper connecting narrow rear lights. Interesting detail: platform under rear room moved from the lid of the trunk on the bumper.
The Kia Rio salon after changing generations has become more solid and stylish. The strict style of interior design remained unchanged, ergonomics increased, however, according to experts, the multimedia system screen could be raised higher.
According to its size, the new Kia Rio is more than the predecessor, but only nominally: in length only 23 mm, in width - by 40 mm. Now it has a length of 4400 mm, in width - 1740 mm. The wheelbase has increased by 30 mm and is now 2600 mm. And here ground clearance Not changed: it is as before 160 mm. Developers increased volume fuel tank Up to 50 liters (now - 43 liters), and the battery of the washing fluid is up to 4.6 liters (now - 4.0 liters). The paradoxical looks the fact that the volume of the trunk has decreased by 20 liters - up to 480 liters.
According to the developers, the rear row passengers have become more comfortable: the distance between the rows has increased by 24 mm. Moreover, in the optional set for the rear sediments there is heated sofa. Also in the list of equipment there are heating windshield and steering wheel.
Engineers have worked on the suspension settings and replaced the hydraulic in the power steering amplifier with hydraulic on electric knot. Already in the initial equipment is present automatic system Calling emergency services "ERA-GLONASS", as well as a course stability system.
About motors. Kia Rio New Generation will be equipped with a new 1,4-liter atmospheric gasoline engine KAPPA with a capacity of 100 hp. (previously 107 hp); Its maximum torque decreased to 132 nm (previously 135 Nm); But it is achieved at lower revs (four thousand rpm. instead of five thousand). Another engine is a 1.6-liter GAMMA - borrowed from auto previous generationTrue, he was upgraded. The return remained the same - 123 hp (Max. Torque - 156 nm). In the other case, 6-speed transmissions are used: mechanical and automatic.
There is no doubt that the new Kia Rio will cost more than the predecessor. The car of the current generation can be purchased for 651 thousand rubles. The top modification "pulled" on "nine hundred and tail", but, as some experts suggest, this time "Million will be overcome."
And about the main thing. Sales of Kia Rio new generation will begin in Russia in August. List of complete sets and prices will be named later - on the eve of the start of sales. First, the sedan will come to our market; Hatchback Kia Rio will have to wait until the end of the year.

New level of practicality
In the Russian market since the founding of Kia Motors Rus in 2009, over 500 thousand cars were implemented. In Russia, called the model developed specifically for the Russian market, taking into account customer preferences. Compared to the model of the same name in other countries of the world russian production has another body and other dimensions, in particular, an enlarged wheelbase. The car is characterized by line of engines and suspension settings, as well as equipped, for example, a unique "warm options" package. Dates and details about changes in sedans and hatchbacks of the Russian specification will be announced additionally.
Korean car small class kia. Rio, perhaps, everyone knows everything in our country. But few people guess that Rio sold from us, and the model with the same name, but selling on the European market, in some positions differ from each other very seriously. European Kia Rio debuted earlier. It happened on March 1, 2011 at the Geneva Motor Show. And only two months later, Koreans stated that a separate model would be created for Russia. No sooner said than done. Already on August 15, 2011, the conveyor of the plant in St. Petersburg left the first cars designed for sale in the Russian market.
Exterior
Find ten differences between Kia Rio intended for European and russian marketsLabor will not be. If in our country Rio attracts its future owners by selling a sedan in the body, although more practical hatchbacks are also available to our buyers, the European Kia Rio does not offer such a diversity. Only hatchback! Extra centimeters Europeans who have long understood that in urban conditions, a maximum compact car is needed or something. Enough differences and design. Kia Rio, designed for sale in the European market, affects the branded radiator lattice, stylish front optics, large rear headlights that give this compact car a solidity to this compact car. In short, the European Hatchback Rio can safely put in one row with recognized leaders in the design area. Russian kia Rio looks different - stricter and, which is very subjective, slightly modest. However, if you focus on sales of this model, owners suggests such a design. Do not forget that Russian Rio has not yet been restyled. It is possible that after it we will see a completely new appearance.
Interior
But within the differences between the European and Russian version of Rio, much less. A stylish three-spoke wheel, a combination of devices in deep "wells", excellent for the model of this class, the quality of finishing materials - all this is typically typically for all Kia Rio. So we can only consider a significant difference that you can install a huge color screen for a surcharge on the European Rio, for example, you can display a picture with navigation system. The Russian Kia Rio even in the most expensive version is content with a monochrome display of a much smaller size. Although it is unlikely that someone will upset about this. No matter how cool, and in our country, Rio is positioned as very high quality, but still relatively budget car. So expensive options for him without need. Specifications
IN technical Plan between versions of kia Rio, intended for different markets, the differences are even less. Under the hood, a compact European hatchback can be seen gas engine The volume of 1.4 lira (107 horsepower) or a more powerful power unit, which, with a volume of 1.6 liters, develops 123 "horses". The same engines are installed on those cars that are manufactured in St. Petersburg. Can only poop the Koreans on the fact that our Rio is deprived of economical diesel engines. However, petrol aggregates also very economical, so hard to admire brands Kia. too upset due to the fact that Rio will not work diesel fuel. But the choice of gearboxes is definitely pleasing. With most weak engine can combine four-speed automatic box Switching gear or "mechanics" with five steps. And for Rio with an engine with a volume of 1.6 liters and are offered "mechanics" and "automatic" with six steps. So future owners korean car It will not disappoint. He not only gives them the right to choose, but also incomprehensible makes this choice only correct.RESULTS
Who would have thought that the Korean company would be able to design and bring such a truly awesome model to the market. And if earlier European Grande did not consider KIA seriously, now they are forced to reckon with it. The European Kia Rio turned out to be reliable, stylish, economical. This was waiting for potential buyers from the Kia brand. No worse and car for our market. To his trumps without any stretch, you can count availability, reliability, excellent driving characteristics and a spacious salon. Ideal cars! And absolutely no matter what country you live in.
) Russian production collected on hyundai factory Motors Manufacturing Rus near St. Petersburg. Recently, the car survived the planned restyling, which is designed to refresh the interest of buyers to one of the bestsellers of the market.
The renewed Euro-version of Rio Koreans officially presented in October at the 2014 Paris Motor Show. Such machines are now officially sold in neighboring Kazakhstan and Ukraine. Unlike the Russian model, this version of Korean assembly boasts a wider line of bodyworks: a 5-door hatchback company and a classic sedan also also makes a bright youth "three-door".
Outside - beautiful
By the way, the practical 5-door modification also looks stylish and dynamically. Once again, I bow in front of the designer and managerial genius of Peter Schreira, who for a fairly short period of time was able to reincarnate many KIA models from unpretentious "gray mice" into a very worthy and modern product, which today competes with the leaders of world auto industry. True, according to rumors, a talented designer and the manager will soon leave the Korean company, and the hatch from VAG will come to his place.
Facelifting Euro-Rio really looks great, from what an angle to do not look at it. I especially liked the updated feed of the machine - with a black plastic insert "A la Diffuser" and reflectors in the form of boomerangs: unusually and beautiful. Restyling also reflected on the shape of a radiator cladding, front bumper and frontal fog.
By the way, in the flagship configuration TOP there are also LED daytime running lights in the front headlights, as well as the rear LED optics. But our average MID performance is content with ordinary "eyes".
The size of the European Rio wheelbase is exactly the same as the hatchback russian assembly - 2570 mm. But the remaining dimensions are different. Auto for 70 mm shorter (4050 mm), 15 mm below (1455 mm), and at the same time wider than 20 mm (1720 mm). Although, if you put both cars nearby, then the novelty visually seems even more compact and squat.
Road clearance of the machine - pure "European": 140 mm, which is 20 mm less than that of the Russian production model, adapted to local road realities.
The interior is also good
As in the case of the exterior, the inner decoration of the car was performed very stylishly and qualitatively: on appearance and to the touch - unequivocally better than the group of Russian assembly. The interior was pleased with the thoughtful ergonomics: everything is simple, convenient and intuitive.
To miscalculations, I would take a very convenient central armrest with a very short move: the elbow right hand is practically not reached before it. And on the left, on the door card, there were a small notch for small things - just in the place that I want to open my left hand.
Landing is low, but the driver's seat has adjustment in height, and steering column Adjusted in two planes, allowing you to choose the optimal location behind the wheel. Skin-skinned multifunctional "Branca" is conveniently lying in the hands.
Very stylish and functionally organized air conditioning control unit (climate control is available only in top equipment). Unusual large keys are not only extremely convenient, but also cause some associations with expensive supercars: bravo designers!
IN dark time The red highlight of the regular multimedia system lightly tires the eyes - however, its brightness can be adjusted to their taste. For your phone or smartphone, a comfortable niche behind the gear selector is provided. It has a 12 volt socket, as well as USB and AUX connectors.
The glove box of decent sizes without any problems accommodates A4 format documents, and also got cooling and backlight. The smallest can also be stored in the pockets of door cards and in the central armrest box.
The luggage compartment has a very modest volume - 288 liters in a hiking state. If you add separate backs of the rear armchairs, it turns out an almost smooth area of \u200b\u200b925 liters. The threshold of the compartment is high enough. Under the floor there is a niche with a spare wheel-dock.
But in motion - not very ...
We got to the test car in middle Equipment MID, equipped with a 1.4-liter gasoline 16-valve motor (with a distributed fuel injection) with a capacity of 109 hp and outdated 4-range "automatic". In dynamics and behavior on the track, such a car is significantly inferior russian version With an engine with a working volume of 1.6 liters (123 hp) and a more advanced 6-speed ACP.
Test hatchback accelerates at all without enthusiasm: 0-100 km / h in 13.2 seconds (versus 11.2 seconds at the model from the Russian Federation). For a sharp and aggressive ride, such a car is definitely not suitable. A classic automifermic machine gun for 4 stages in modern standards looks outdated, albeit reliable. Yes, the transfer she switches softly and smoothly, but the waiting dynamics and increased flow Fuel. So, when driving on the highway at a speed of 90-100 km / h Rio "eats" approximately 6.2-6.4 l / 100 km, and in the city cycle - up to 9 l / 100 km. On the menu on-board computer You can choose a special ECO mode, but the effect of it is almost impaired, but the nature of the car becomes even more sluggish.
There is no sports regime in the transmission, but there is an opportunity to manually shift the gear by the lever. Force aggregateDespite its 109 horses, it is difficult to call the travelers: the peak of torque in 137 nm is achieved at 4200 rpm. Against this background, the parameters of the cheerful and economical diesel installations available to European buyers Kia Rio are more advantageous. However, for the usual measured ride in the city and this 1,4-liter "gasoline" is enough.
The Korean hatchback suspension has a standard scheme for the B-segment: McPherson racks in front and half-dependent beam on rear axis. The chassis turned out to be sufficiently soft and comfortable, but it is distinguished by increased noise when working out irregularities road coat. The machine stably behaves in turns: more predictably than the Russian hatchback. Rio perfectly holds a trajectory at high speeds (although it is not her element) and practically does not grow out when in a gauge, dying out by heavy wagons. Hard suspension tributes happened only when in frankly large pits.
