Kia Rio of the outgoing generation lasted on the St. Petersburg assembly line for six years and during this time managed to become the most popular car in Russia, according to . How does it ride? new Rio, we already know: an absentee comparison with the co-platform Solaris, - and now we can compare the prices and configurations of the two Russified “Koreans”.
| Kia Rio: configurations | 1.4MT | 1.4 AT | 1.6MT | 1.6 AT |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Classic | RUB 669,900 | - | - | - |
| Classic Audio | RUB 704,900 | - | - | - |
| Comfort | RUB 729,900 | RUB 769,900 | RUB 754,900 | RUB 794,900 |

| Prestige | - | - | - | RUB 899,900 |
| Premium | - | - | - | RUB 989,900 |
The cheapest Rio with a 1.4 engine (100 hp) and “mechanics” in the Classic version will cost 669,900 rubles. It, like the base Solaris Active for 624,900 rubles, has two airbags, ABS and a stabilization system with an assistant when starting uphill, tire pressure monitoring, electric and heated mirrors, audio preparation with four speakers and 15-inch steel wheels with caps. There are no heated front seats, steering column It is adjustable only in height, but unlike the “active” Solaris, there is air conditioning.
IN Classic configuration Audio for 704,900 added heated front seats and an audio system with AUX and USB connectors. A similar Solaris Active Plus with air conditioning - 709,900 rubles. However, Hyundai offers a choice: Active Plus can be purchased with both an automatic transmission (734,900 rubles) and a 1.6 engine with 123 hp. (749,900 and 774,900 for manual transmission and automatic transmission, respectively), while for Rio these units are available only in more expensive trim levels.
Rio in the Comfort version, which is likely to become the most popular, has a heated and leather-trimmed steering wheel with audio system buttons, adjustable steering column both in height and reach, automatic locking doors with the start of movement, key with remote control central locking and trunk, as well as rear electric windows. Such a car with a 1.4 engine and manual transmission will cost 729,900 rubles. The surcharge for an automatic transmission, like Hyundai, is 40,000, for the 1.6 engine - 25,000. Almost identical in equipment to Solaris Comfort - 754,900 rubles for version 1.4 with “mechanics”, but it will also have a Bluetooth interface for mobile phone, as well as a nicer Supervision instrument panel.
Rio Luxe is available only with the 1.6 engine. It is retrofitted with LED running lights, foglights and climate control - 779,900 and 819,900 rubles for the manual and automatic version, respectively. Solaris Comfort can be equipped with the Advanced package for 30,000, including “climate”, rear sensors parking and a sliding armrest, so theoretically, equipment close to the Rio Luxe, with the exception of foglights, can be obtained with the 1.4 engine. And to make it easier to compare, I will give the cost of such a Solaris with a 1.6 engine: 809,900 or 849,900 depending on the gearbox.
Rio in the Prestige version only comes with an automatic transmission and a 1.6 engine. It has heating windshield and washer nozzles, heating rear seats, 15-inch alloy wheels, headlights projection type with cornering light section, radiator grille with chrome and gloss black, chrome on the door handles, special fabric on the seats, sliding armrest, Supervision instrument panel, six speakers instead of four, Bluetooth, light sensor, rear parking radars, as well as side airbags in front and curtain airbags plus rear disc brakes. Price - 899,900 rubles.
To get a Solaris similar in equipment, you can equip the Comfort version with all available packages. In this case, it will cost 929,000 for the 1.6 with an automatic transmission, or you can take the Solaris Elegance (909,900) and install the Safety package for 40,000. Then, in addition to the Rio Prestige equipment, there will also be multimedia with navigation and support for Apple CarPlay/Android Auto.
The top-end Rio Premium for 989,900 rubles boasts 16-inch wheels, LED rear lights, faux leather trim, keyless entry, a multimedia system with navigation and support for Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, as well as a rear view camera.
The two-pedal Solaris, which is similar in options, is Elegance with all packages for 1,025,900 rubles. As you can see, the prices for Rio and Solaris are extremely close, and the difference lies in the presence or absence of individual options. However, Hyundai captivates with its choice power unit: a well-equipped car can be bought with any of the engines, both manual and automatic.
Orders for the new Rio are already being accepted, but live cars will only appear at dealers in August.
Kia has announced the start date of sales Kia sedan Rio 4th generation for Russian market. New model 2017-2018 will appear in showrooms official dealers stamps in August. Exact prices and configurations of the new product will be published in soon, however, already now the base price tag seems to be around 650 thousand rubles, i.e. approximately at the level. After modernization, a close relative will delight potential buyers with a new exterior and interior design, more spacious interior, rich equipment and retuned suspension. Assembly of the four-door has been established at a plant near St. Petersburg, and the first serial cars have already started to roll off the assembly line. In our review of photos, equipment and prices, specifications Kia Rio 2017-2018 in a new body – probably the most long-awaited new product of this year.
Increased interest in updated Rio due to its incredible popularity in Russia. In the first five months of 2017, 38,126 copies of the model were sold, and this is a confident first place in the list of best-selling cars. Left behind are two “VAZ” creations – and (33,444 and 27,986 units, respectively). The excellent sales figures of the previous version of the sedan create a good platform for confident Kia launch Rio 4th generation.
New look of Kia Rio
The updated Kia four-door has grown in size in almost all dimensions. First of all, we note the increase in the wheelbase, which has increased from 2570 to 2600 mm (+30 mm). The increase in body length was 23 mm (new figure - 4400 mm), in width - 40 mm (1740 mm). The height (1470 mm) and ground clearance (160 mm) remained unchanged.
The appearance of the Russian Kia Rio 4 almost identically repeats the design Chinese equivalent– Kia K2. The model for the Chinese market debuted at the end of 2016 at car exhibition in Guangzhou. If we compare new sedan with the pre-reform self, there are simply a lot of differences. At the front, a modified radiator grille has appeared, which is a more compact and highly narrowed version of the previous “tiger nose”. The headlights have seriously increased in size and “climbed” very far onto the front fenders; from some angles it may even seem too far. But the front bumper has clearly been updated with a plus sign - it has become more expressive due to the solid central air intake and two boomerang side sections, into which touches of LED DRLs and miniature round foglights harmoniously fit.
Photos of the new Kia Rio 2017-2018
The stern attracts, first of all, the new design of the lanterns, visually combined into one block using a jumper. The graphic design of the optics is distinguished by the picturesque strokes of the LED elements. Rear bumper decorated in the same style as the front one - on the sides there are the same boomerangs with foglights, and in the center there is a platform for a license plate.
New stern design
Change external dimensions and wheelbase affected the proportions of the sedan. From the side the car now looks a little more interesting, especially when wheel arches turns out to be a 16-inch casting. 15-inch ones look worse steel wheels, included in the initial package.
Improvements inside
Interior new Kia Rio greets you with a European-style strict design of the front panel, high-quality finishing materials, comfortable seats and a perfectly organized driver’s work area. The instrument cluster pleases with its laconic presentation of on-board data and pleasing to the eye digitization of scales. The flaws in the interior layout of the cabin include the too low location of the multimedia screen on the console (in the European hatchback Kia Rio the display is installed higher, between the deflectors) and the unfortunate location of the seat heating buttons, located exactly in front of the gearshift lever. The transmission control handle itself, especially when it comes to an automatic transmission, has an optimal shape, guaranteeing a comfortable grip.
Improved interior
The standard equipment of the model, as before, will not be as rich - these are electric drive and heated side mirrors, electric windows, a height-adjustable steering column, on-board computer, ABS, stabilization system, tire pressure monitoring, two airbags, ERA-GLONASS.
Prices and configurations 2017-2018 (in rubles):
More expensive versions the sedan is equipped with headlights with lens optics and a cornering light function, multimedia system with 7-inch display (Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, navigation), rear view camera, climate control, heated windshield and steering wheel, heated seats (including rear ones), push-button engine start, artificial leather trim, up to 6 airbags.
Transformation of the rear seats
The second row of seats in the Kia Rio will offer passengers, albeit slightly, more spacious accommodation conditions. An additional 24 mm appeared in the leg area free space, in the shoulder area it became 18 mm wider, the headroom increased by a formal 4 mm. But the volume luggage compartment has decreased - instead of the previous 500 liters, only 480 liters can now be loaded into it. The reason is the revised scheme rear suspension. The reduction in capacity had little effect on the configuration cargo compartment– the shape is almost the same, the underground is used to accommodate a full-size spare tire. The trunk lid can be opened from the passenger compartment or using a contactless method (in top trim levels).
Technical characteristics of the Kia Rio in the back of 2017-2018
The “fourth” Kia Rio in Russia is equipped with two power units:
- Engine 1.4 Kappa MPI with 100 hp. (132 Nm), or
- Engine 1.6 Gamma MPI with maximum thrust 123 hp. (151 Nm).
Both “aspirated” engines are equipped with phase shifters on the intake and exhaust valves. Available transmission options are 6-speed manual and 6-speed automatic. Capacity fuel tank was increased to 50 liters (previously 43 liters).
The developers tried to slightly change the character of the Kia Rio by reconfiguring it chassis for more active driving. For this purpose, the geometry of the front suspension was modified (the wheel alignment angles were revised), the rear suspension layout was adjusted (the shock absorbers are now more vertical), and the hydraulic booster was replaced with an electric booster. The car became a little stiffer, but improved Feedback. Has also undergone modernization automatic transmission, which has learned to react much more adequately, without failures and jerks, to sudden manipulations of the accelerator pedal.

The new model has undergone global revision under Russian conditions operation. The car received front and rear mudguards and plastic crankcase protection. The entire body and bottom were treated with a special anti-corrosion coating. In the new generation Korean sedan a battery of increased capacity (60 Ah) and an enlarged washer fluid reservoir (4.6 liters) are used. Ground clearance is an impressive 160 millimeters by class standards. Also, head optics now have lamps with an extended service life - up to 1500 hours.
The body consists of more than 50% high-strength AHSS steel. Well, under this body hides a whole scattering of security systems: a warning system emergency braking(ESS), integrated system active control(VSM), system directional stability(ESC), hill start assist control (HAC), anti-lock braking brake system(ABS), system "ERA-GLONASS". Also available here full set of six airbags: front and side for the driver and front passenger, curtain airbags the entire length of the cabin.
And in the matter of comfort, the creators of new generation KIA Rio again took special care of residents of countries with cold climates. There is a special “Warm Options” package, which includes: heated windshield washer nozzles, a heated windshield, a heated steering wheel, and heated front and rear seats. In the warm season, climate control will take care of your comfort. And, of course, in any weather, the new generation AVN 5.0 multimedia system, with a 7" screen, support for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay technologies, will be in place. wireless communication Bluetooth and navigation system with traffic monitoring service from TomTom.
