The 2018 Kia Rio 5-door hatchback made its debut recently at the Montreal Auto Show in Canada in early 2017. First of all, the presented car was of interest to the North American market. On the other hand, Russian drivers would not have given up on it either and would gladly have acquired this representative of vehicles with dashing characteristics for their class.

Kia Rio 2018

The 2018 Kia Rio, as you can see already in the photo, has gone through a specific redesign. The fourth generation of cars, in the name of the model of which there is a reference to the City of Dreams (or the City of God, if you will) - Rio de Janeiro, as it turned out, has changed a lot inside too. That is: both in the salon and in terms of their presentable technical data. We will talk about all this further in the review.

It is worth noting right away that in Canada they are very fond of small hatchbacks in an amicable way, so for local market the presented car was to the place, as they say.

Brief information about the model

Before starting, in fact, a review of the novelty, let's traditionally recall the history of the development of the model. Rio was born in 2000. Initially, it was a car, decorated in sedan and station wagon bodies. A little later, notes of a hatchback began to be traced in it. Then his not unfounded comparisons with Subaru Impreza... "Japanese", of course, will be older than "Korean", but the latter is no longer young.

The third generation of the already middle-aged "Korean" by automotive standards has absorbed all the best features from the Hyundai i20 and Solaris. As a result, an elegant representative with test characteristics from the genus of "road animals" was born.

Exterior

Fourth generation Kia car Rio will go on free sale in many world markets in late 2017 or early 2018, and its new body, as you can see in the photo, will not be the last factor in order to have time to acquire it and be among the first lucky ones.

We said earlier that small hatchbacks are a big preference in Canada, and this is true. On the other hand, this was the case until recently, while this class of cars was being improved. Prior to that, a large number of Canadian drivers drove around either on small SUVs, or on crossovers. But times are changing, which means that the opinion of people is gradually approaching to fall in love with what they previously did not pay attention to for various reasons.

What are we talking about? The fact that hatchbacks have recently become much more popular than before, and one of their representatives - Kia Rio - played an important role in this matter. Its next generation, styled in a new body, will seem great at first glance, and there are logical explanations for this.

And not just a sporty look. For example, the increased wheelbase. Just 10 extra millimeters allowed to transform the appearance of the Rio model to the desired state. It also made the exterior a lot more dynamic. The grace is in the details.

Interior

Such changes made it possible to make more spacious interior. New body Kia Rio 2018 gives a lot more free space to accommodate the driver's seat and passenger seats, so that people can sit in their perimeter and appreciate the arrivals at close and long distances.

The steering wheel has been improved, including its functionality has been expanded. At the same time, it helped to achieve a better value in terms of safety. Consequently, the driving experience in dynamics will be slightly more pleasant than it was before.

Increased free space allowed the driver and passengers, as they say, to straighten their shoulders. And in the literal sense. The head, which is important, will also be calmer. Nothing is limited by anything. Isn't all this a victory, albeit not such a big one?

Speaking of additional improvements in the cabin, it would be worth mentioning the function of heating both the steering wheel and the seats, however, only the two front ones.

Interestingly, all five doors of the car, as the journalists managed to find out, are made of high-strength steel, which means that their installation has increased the safety of the hatchback by almost a third. Again, albeit small, but still a revolution.

2018 Kia Rio specs

Speaking about the technical characteristics of the new item, this conversation should be started with the mention of the modified steering wheel. It is its importance that determines the importance of driving during operation.

Well, if we talk specifically about the numbers, then the value of 130 horsepower will probably please a large number of those who want to acquire one. vehicle even today. Installed power point is designed to further ensure the achievement of the declared result in terms of fuel economy. You just can't resist how you want to ride it!

Since the time when the renowned Audi designer Peter Schreier became the chief designer of Kia Motors and subsequently the Hyundai Motor Group (Hyundai-Kia), it has been determined that better Kia Rio, an inexperienced buyer, is very difficult. According to the results of sales in 2014, the Kia Rio was one of the three best-selling cars. Kia Rio looks unusual in both body types, characteristic feature there is a forward-looking silhouette, a somewhat aggressively executed front part and decorative curves of the front fenders. Each version of the body has both pluses and minuses, respectively, the buyer should initially decide for what needs the car is being purchased.

The popularity of the Kia Rio car is undeniable, but which body type is better: a sedan or a hatchback?

Distinctive features of body types

The sedan is the most popular model body, a sedan is understood as a passenger car with closed body... The car has two or three rows of seats, which are separated from luggage compartment... A sedan-type car looks more representative and respectable. The main distinguishing feature of the sedan is the presence of a body, which consists of two volumes, that is, the salon and the luggage compartment are separated. The sedan body comes with two or four doors.

A hatchback is a body type. passenger car, which is characterized by the presence of one or two rows of seats, slightly shorter rear end, in comparison with the same sedan, and a door in the rear of the body. A hatchback is a body of the same volume, that is, the trunk and the interior of the car are one cavity. Opening the luggage compartment lid opens access directly to the passenger compartment. Bodies of this kind are three-door and five-door.

Respectability or sport

In 2011 with the release on the Russian market new modification the car has grown in comparison with its predecessors, not only in terms of dimensions, but also reliability, nevertheless remaining in the same loyal price category.

Externally, the cars in front will seem to you exactly the same, but if you turn the car in profile and the differences will be noticeable. The sedan is respectable and aspiring, the hatchback is more compact and maneuverable. Both the sedan and the hatchback differ from competitors in the same class. Kia Rio is a small class car for short people.

It should be noted that even in the basic configuration, the Kia model Rio sedan pretty well "packed", as evidenced by the presence of:

  • power steering;
  • electric window regulator;
  • air conditioner;
  • central lock;
  • airbags for the driver.

They can purchase a car immediately in the "Comfort" configuration, which in addition includes a second passenger pillow safety, heated mirrors and the ability to adjust the seat height. Rio manufacturers offer hatchback drivers to drivers, focusing more on those buyers who do not recognize the sedan in principle.

Difference in numbers

If we consider the differences between the sedan and the Kia Rio hatchback in absolute numbers, then they will not seem so striking. The length of the body of the sedan is 4 meters and 37 cm, and the model with the body door is 4 meters 12 cm long.Other dimensions - the height and width of both cars are the same, as well as the clearance of 16 cm.This gives an advantage for the shortened model in urban conditions, since the more compact the car, the less difficulties there will be when parking. The volume of the luggage compartment exceeds the hatchback by almost a hundred liters, we have 500 liters versus 389. For the rest of the indicators, the proposed engine volumes and transmissions of these models coincide. According to the drivers' reviews, it can be argued that a car with a beveled auto body will behave more quickly when road conditions, far from ideal than its classic counterpart.

Among the shortcomings inherent in the Kia Rio models are the thin cover of the car's hood, which literally bends when pressed with fingers and insufficient heating of the windshield.

The agony of choice

It becomes especially relevant when it comes to budget options... A car with a shortened rear end has an advantage over a classic sedan, and even more so over a station wagon, in terms of greater freedom of maneuver in urban conditions. It is more convenient to transport cargo in a hatchback than in a sedan, since the presence of a door in the rear of the car makes it easier to load or unload luggage. Among the disadvantages of combining the cabin and the luggage part of the car, it is possible to note the penetration of cold air into the cabin when the tailgate is opened, the longer time it takes to heat the car in winter. Most often, the hatchback is positioned as a family car with the ability to transport oversized cargo only occasionally, it is not suitable for regular freight transport... Short rear model preferred when parking reverse, the dimensions are perfectly felt, and the border does not catch on. Also, the positive features include increased dynamism on the road and the ability to transform interior cars with the passenger seats folded. Extra bonus- the presence of a rear wiper.

Kia Rio hatchback is a golf class car from Korea in the middle price category. She appeared on the Russian market after the sedan of the same name in early 2012. Although the history of this car began much earlier (in 2005), the new generation kia rio new is in no way inferior in popularity to its predecessors.

And technically and conceptually, it even bypasses, which led to incredibly high demand. The car is quite compact and visually attractive. Let's take a closer look at the features of this car.

Description kia models rio new looks quite elegant and to some extent even more attractive than the four-door sedan Rio, which is due to the successful configuration of the rear of the car and internal equipment.

Interesting! The front of the hatchback is identical to the front of the sedan, but the rest of the car turned out to be more sporty. There is a nice option to equip the Rio with LED lights.

The interior is thought out and made very high quality - dirt-repellent fabric on the upholstery of the cabin and seats, in expensive modifications chrome finish. Ergonomic seating provide comfort to passengers, and the driver can easily adjust not only the seat, but also the steering wheel - its height and reach, which will allow you to drive the car with convenience.

The hatchback is 25 cm shorter than the sedan (its length is 4,120 mm with a height of 1,470 mm and a width of 1,700 mm) and practically does not have rear overhang, in any case, outwardly it is almost imperceptible. Therefore, kia rio new makes it possible to more accurately feel the size of the car when driving and maneuvering, and this is a huge plus when driving around the city and on highways when cornering. The trunk seems small compared to the sedan - and indeed, the volume is 389 liters in the standard state, but it can be increased by removing the removable shelf.

The rear door of the kia rio is wide enough, so there are problems with transportation oversized cargo the hatchback does not. The wheelbase is 2,570 mm and does not differ from the sedan. Full mass the car is 1,565 kg, but the curb weight is slightly more than that of the sedan (although only 5 kg) - is 1,520 kg. The thickness of the metal from which the body is made is not too large, but at the same time it does not differ from other car models. But this fact does not in any way affect power elements auto - they are made according to all standards.

Where deformations may occur, body parts are reinforced, which implies less deformation in the event of a collision. Difference from other cars kia row rio, but not only in appearance and constructive conveniences, the kia rio new differs from other cars of this lineup.

First of all, it is distinguished by technical characteristics, good equipment and driving performance and reliability. The car has seven basic configurations and an excellent set of minimum options even in the cheapest configuration (ABS, air conditioning, front airbags and other options), which makes this car even more attractive to buy.

About the technical characteristics of kia rio new

Hatchback Engines kia new equipped with gasoline engines 1.4 liters with a capacity of 107 hp. and 1.6 liters with 123 hp. Maximum power both motors give at 6300 rpm - it is unlikely that it will be possible to accelerate the car to such rpm, but the characteristics are very decent. The same engines are on the sedan of the same name.

Both naturally aspirated engines without turbocharging and other technical innovations operate as usual. injection design and distributed injection... Each unit has four cylinders and 16 valves. At the same time, engines operate according to Euro-4 standards on AI-92 gasoline.

A maximum of 43 liters of fuel can be poured into the tank. The 1.4-liter engine is an excellent "aspirated" engine, which, when combined with mechanical transmission for five gears gives good dynamics, but it can be successfully combined with a four-speed automatic transmission. The torque in this case is equal to 135 Nm. Its peak is quite high - 5,000 rpm, accelerating a car to such rpm is problematic and will significantly increase fuel consumption. But for its segment, the car shows good characteristics - a maximum speed of 185 km / h and acceleration to hundreds in 11.5 seconds.

The manufacturer proposes to supplement the 1.6-liter engine with a six-speed manual transmission or automatic transmission. The torque is higher than that of the previous engine - 155Nm and a lower peak for these values ​​- 4200 rpm. Moreover, 1.6 liter engine gives a faster acceleration to 100 km / h (10.3 seconds) and maximum speed at 190 km / h, but modifications with automatic transmission are slightly slower in both cases.

Perhaps, for six-range gearboxes, the power of this engine may not seem enough, most likely, this is due to the manufacturer's desire to make the car more economical to use, but when accelerating on the highway, this fact can interfere effective work engine. The fuel consumption of this car is the same as that of the sedan.

When traveling around the city, an average of 7.6 liters per 100 km are consumed with manual transmission and 8.5 with automatic transmission, on the highway, of course, less - 4.9 liters and 5.2 liters, respectively. But at the same time, do not forget that trips around the city with a six-speed manual transmission are much more economical.

The undercarriage is quite well assembled - it is an independent front axle with MacPherson struts and a stabilizer lateral stability and torsion beam behind. Disc brakes and all this is complemented by a power steering. From this we can conclude that it will be easy to drive a car in any conditions, and travel even on uneven roads will be quite comfortable.

Outcomes: in general, kia rio new is modern car, technically well-equipped, which means a completely reliable and safe means of transportation, in the creation of which the manufacturer took into account the high requirements of the consumer as about appearance and about operational characteristics... Moreover, if we take into account price category this car in the basic configuration, it becomes quite attractive for the buyer and corresponds to the ratio of price and quality.
