Kia Rio hatchback 2016-2017 - updated five-door based on Rio sedan 3 generations. The first photos of the restyled version of the KIA K2 hatchback for the Chinese market (we sell this model as Rio) appeared in April 2015, and before official dealers The car arrived at the beginning of summer.

The case with the sedan clearly demonstrated that the new Rio is for Russian and Chinese markets completely identical, so the initially presented pictures of the hatchback gave a clear idea of the appearance of the updated model. This was later confirmed in official photos.

At the rear, the five-door received redesigned lights, trunk lid and bumper. The interior features improved finishing materials, a revised front panel, as well as a new steering wheel and head unit.

The technology remained unchanged. The base engine for the Kia Rio 3 hatchback (specifications) is a 1.4-liter engine with 107 hp, available paired with a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission. But the 123-horsepower 1.6-liter unit is combined with more modern six-speed gearboxes.

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

And in technical and conceptual terms it even bypasses, which has 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 of the Kia Rio new model looks quite elegant and to some extent even more attractive than the four-door Rio sedan, which is due to the successful configuration of the rear of the car and the internal equipment.

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

The interior is well thought out and made of very high quality - dirt-repellent fabric on the upholstery and seats, expensive modifications chrome finish. Ergonomic seats will ensure comfort for 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 comfortably.

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 actually does not have rear overhang, in any case, outwardly it is almost invisible. 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 taking turns. The boot seems small compared to the sedan - indeed, the standard capacity is 389 liters, but it can be increased by removing the removable shelf.

The back door of the Kia Rio is wide enough, so the hatchback has no problems with transporting large cargo. Wheelbase 2,570 mm and no different from the sedan. Full mass the car's weight is 1,565 kg, but when equipped it is a little more than that of the sedan (albeit only by 5 kg) - it is 1,520 kg. The thickness of the metal from which the body is made is not too large, but it does not differ from other car models. But this fact does not affect power elements cars - they are made to all standards.

In areas of possible deformation, body parts are reinforced, which means less deformation in the event of a collision. It differs from other cars in the Kia Rio range, but it is not just the appearance and design amenities that distinguishes the Kia Rio new from other cars in this model range.

First of all, it is distinguished by technical characteristics, good equipment and ride quality and reliability. The car has seven basic trim levels and an excellent set of minimal options even in the cheapest trim level (ABS, air conditioning, front airbags and other options), which makes this car even more attractive for purchase.

About the technical characteristics of kia rio new

Engines Hatchback kia new equipped with 1.4 liter petrol engines producing 107 hp. and 1.6 liters with a capacity of 123 hp. Maximum power both engines produce at 6300 rpm - it is unlikely that you will be able to accelerate the car to such speeds, but the performance is very decent. The same engines power the sedan of the same name.

Both engines are naturally aspirated, without turbocharging or other technical innovations, and operate in accordance with the 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 filled into the tank. The 1.4-liter engine is an excellent naturally aspirated engine, which, when combined with a five-speed manual transmission, gives good dynamics, but it can be successfully combined with a four-speed automatic transmission. The torque is 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 performance - 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. Torque is higher than the previous engine - 155 Nm and a lower peak for these values - 4200 rpm. At the same time, the 1.6 liter engine gives faster acceleration to 100 km/h (in 10.3 seconds) and a top speed of 190 km/h, but modifications with automatic transmission are slightly slower in both cases.

Perhaps the power of this engine may not seem sufficient for six-range gearboxes; most likely, this is explained by the manufacturer’s desire to make the car more economical to use, but when accelerating on the highway, this fact may interfere efficient work engine. The fuel consumption of this car is the same as that of the sedan.

When traveling around the city, the average consumption is 7.6 liters per 100 km with manual transmission and 8.5 with automatic transmission; on the highway, of course, less - 4.9 liters and 5.2 liters, respectively. But we should not forget that traveling around the city with a six-speed manual transmission is much more economical.

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

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

The Koreans managed to make a breakthrough in the sense that they made the budget sedan beautiful. For design new Kia Rio many thanks to the German specialist Peter Schreyer. Before working for Kia, Schreyer worked for the Volkswagen Group, developing designs for Audi models. As for the main competitors for the Kia Rio, it is the single-platform Hyundai Solaris, which, although it has its own interior and exterior design, but power units, gearboxes, chassis these cars are the same. The main competitor is the VW Polo Sedan, which is also assembled in Russia, but maybe also the Chevrolet Aveo, which has its own hatch version.

Reviews from KIA Rio Hatchback III owners

The interior of the Kia Rio Hatchback III is spacious, the plastic, although budget-friendly, is pleasant to the touch, the fabric is non-staining, the trunk is large, and the seating position is simply wonderful. Not very convenient standard radio. The light and visibility are at “3”, the A-pillar and the large “ear” of the mirror are in the way, “steering” is great. The dynamics are also pleasing, in almost all ranges of engine operation the car confidently picks up speed, but the behavior of the car in a rut on the Moscow Ring Road is very unpleasant, especially when changing lanes; the rear of the car lives its own life.

We were very pleased with the brakes, the Kia Rio Hatchback III brakes just fine, fortunately there are disc brakes at the front and rear, a good combination of “brake-steering-gas”. Changing gears is a little awkward. Although the stroke of the handle is not large, I often turn on the 3rd instead of the 1st, the 4th instead of the 2nd, etc. Well, of course, this is also a matter of habit, but I think everyone who has driven “F-shaped” mechanics will experience the same thing at first. Short 1st gear, although I don’t think this is a drawback.

Advantages : appearance. Availability. Economical.

Flaws : hard suspension.

Kia Rio Hatchback III, 2012

I greet all the happy owners of the Kia Rio Hatchback III. I can say that the car is good in terms of price-quality-equipment ratio. I bought the car in the “Lux” configuration, so I was immediately able to appreciate and be happy that it has climate control and power accessories. Good handling, feels the road, takes corners deftly. But the suspension is a bit harsh. The manufacturer did not deceive regarding fuel consumption, but if you follow the odometer, at a speed of 90 - 110 kilometers per hour, the car “eats” 5.5 - 6 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers, but when you step on the gas to 150 kilometers per hour, then consumption immediately “jumps” to 10 liters per 100 kilometers. Of the “minuses” I immediately noted: there is no sound insulation on rear wheels(you can hear all the grains of sand and pebbles), short gears at the gearbox, there is not a full-size spare tire, but a stowage wheel, the rear “seat” folds together with the step, and also at an angle. I will conclude that the Kia Rio Hatchback III is an excellent car for the city (it will fit into every hole), and it also behaves normally in nature (I have never gotten stuck on the bottom). So far there are no significant problems, but after a while I will figure everything out.

Advantages : good handling, feels the road,

Flaws : no sound insulation on the rear wheels. Short passes at the checkpoint. There is only evidence.

Kia Rio Hatchback III, 2012

I purchased a Kia Rio Hatchback III in April. Immediately the car began to pleasantly surprise me. The car is comfortable, the Shumka is excellent, the finishing materials are of high quality and I am satisfied with the ergonomics. Suitable for our roads, the main thing is not to press on the gas if you see what’s ahead bad road. The motor is very sensitive, it reacts immediately, the acceleration dynamics are good, but I drove no more than 110 kilometers per hour, they advised me to run it in for now. In the combined cycle, the Kia Rio Hatchback III “eats” 7.5 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers. On the highway it consumes from 5.5 to 6 liters per 100 kilometers. In short, I’m happy with the purchase, the car perfectly combines price and quality. On this moment there are no problems.

Advantages : comfortable. "Shumka" is excellent. Finishing materials. Ergonomics. Acceleration dynamics are good.

Flaws : there were none.

Kia Rio Hatchback III, 2015

What I like: exterior at 5. Good dynamics and sharp control for a 1.4 engine, changing gears is a pleasure. Kia trunk Rio Hatchback III, in terms of volume, is superior to the Kalina sedan (it can transport large items). Warm stove and a quiet fan (but at -30 the windshield still freezes from the top edge when driving on the highway). The heated seats are also nice. The ground clearance is not inferior to Kalina (tested on various potholes on the way to the village/garden), but it is worth remembering that front bumper It hangs low, which means you need to slow down before particularly treacherous bumps. At your feet rear passengers there is no tunnel and generally enough space even with the driver’s height of 185 cm. The interior of the Kia Rio Hatchback III is of better quality than that of the Solaris (its emphasis is on the visible part of the dashboard, while the lower part is defective), there is no feeling of cheapness. The Kia Rio Hatchback III has a larger rear window than the sedan (easier to park). The cabin is quiet compared to the VAZ. Disc brakes all around (tenacious, at first I was nodding off in traffic). Relatively cheap consumables and spare parts. The standard audio system has good sound + the ability to read usb, aux (I often listen to metal, the sound makes me happy, but electro music with bass sounds more interesting here). Doesn't eat butter.

What I don’t like: stiff suspension, but not fatal (probably the Koreans saved on it because of their good roads). Gluttonous during the break-in period, but after that it seems to stabilize around 9.5-10 liters. Weak standard low beam (but it seems better than on Kalina, although it used Chinese lamps, because both expensive and cheap ones all burned out after six months). Delicate paintwork and windshield (do not rub the glass with a scraper - it will scratch immediately). “Horse” prices for maintenance from official dealers. The rear doors of the Kia Rio Hatchback III have big gap, as if the doors were not completely recessed into the opening - all Rios have this. In the city, the 1.4 engine with air conditioning is dull, but not critical (I press the gas harder). On the highway it’s almost not noticeable (but I still turn it off before overtaking). Wheel arches without “noise” (the hum of rubber, pebbles, puddles is clearly audible), but this can be solved by replacing the standard Nexen/Kumho with a more quiet tires, wheel arch liners with STP. The interior quickly gathers dust, and crickets also appear (these are our roads, our realities). Easily buries itself in the snow. The gas tank is 43 liters - not serious. 6th gear is missing (but in principle the fines are large, 110 km/h is comfortable).

Advantages : see review.

Flaws : see review.

This is my first new car. According to first impressions, the Kia Rio Hatchback III has a rather stiff suspension. But as the numbers on the odometer increased and the wheels lowered to 2 bar, the suspension became comfortable. Regarding sound insulation, I can say that it exists and there is something to compare it with. The engine is inaudible at idle, and the sound in the cabin depends on the road surface, speed and tires. The interior can be disassembled quite easily and in a few hours, thousands of rubles, a worthy “Shumka” can be made with your own hands. In stores today, everything is sold and is affordable. The engine is chain driven, reliable and durable. Consumption is 6.5-7 on the highway during quiet driving, 8-9 in the city. The music suits me. Box new 6 step automatic. Works great, shifts smoothly, not noticeably. The interior is simple without any “Chinese” features in the form of chrome inserts and poisonous blue lighting. Everything in the car is in place: the window lifts are in place like the “Japanese” ones, the seats are comfortable, adjustable like everyone else, the steering wheel is only height-adjustable. There are heated steering wheels, rest zones for wipers, mirrors, rear window. The car is assembled, does not squeak, is moderately comfortable, reliable, starts and drives in any weather and is marketable secondary market. This winter I traveled in -45 degrees. Starts with half a turn after parking in a cold garage. Parking is very convenient because compact sizes, ground clearance allows you to fearlessly drive almost anywhere within reason. Of course, there are things that irritate a spoiled person: the lack of an armrest is such a small thing, but you have to order it in an online store or from a dealer. The prices for spare parts are budget, but this does not concern me yet. IN general car I like it, it will fulfill the assigned tasks and does not break.

Advantages : maneuverability. Convenient parking. Equipment. Reliability.

Flaws : no armrest.

Kia Rio Hatchback III, 2016

Before buying a Kia Rio Hatchback III was test driven by Solaris, Kia Sid, Skoda Rapid and VW Polo. We almost bought “Sid”, but then we decided against it because of the ground clearance (it’s very low), but I also like to go to the river outside the city. The odometer shows 220 km, I drove the first hundred with the climate control on (it’s very hot here in Kuban in last days) in the city with traffic jams and the consumption was 13.7 on gasoline 95 g-energy. I filled it with regular 95 and the consumption was 10 l/100 km. The dynamics are excellent, the cabin is quiet (compared to the previous car). Many will say that the suspension is a bit harsh, but I am very happy with it. Salon of Kia Rio Hatchback III is better than Solaris and VW Polo Sedan. Prestige package with manual transmission (I’m a fan of the “stirrer”). The price is 770 thousand rubles. includes: alarm system with auto start, tinted rear semicircle, gas hood struts, rubber mats interior and trunk, alloy wheels R15, and a rear view camera (with a built-in screen in the rear view mirror) as a gift. I'm very pleased with the car, even though I haven't driven it at all.

Advantages : dynamics. Controllability. Maneuverability.

Flaws : I like everything so far.

Alexander, Krasnodar

Kia Rio Hatchback III, 2014

At the moment, the mileage of the Kia Rio Hatchback III is about 400 km, so the following conclusions arise. Relatively soft suspension travel and maneuverability. It feels like the third Focus. The car is capable of starting and driving in first place without the accelerator pedal. Although it is too early to talk about efficiency, the BC shows a consumption of 8.2 in the city, although if you analyze the receipts from the gas station, the consumption is actually about 9.5-10. Very comfortable fit and ergonomics, everything is at hand, even the heated steering wheel has multimedia control buttons. Head unit and 4 columns - it’s just a fairy tale, I didn’t expect this at all good sound and bassiness. Although a couple of tweeters are a little missing to enrich the sound picture.

Among the minuses: minor defects in the assembly - on the very first day, the rear pillar trim panel came out of the grooves of the trunk trim panel, forming a small “toothy” gap of 2-3 mm - in general, this does not interfere in any way - fortunately there are no crickets. I think to eliminate it at the first opportunity from the OD. The air conditioning is rather weak for the southern regions, if you drive around the city/get stuck in traffic jams at a temperature of 35-40 degrees. Celsius. But on the highway it’s just freezing. Yes, and it adds a lot to consumption. In any case, I use it very rarely, since I have short trips around the city, and even then either early in the morning or late in the evening. Liquid metal - the hood bends when pressed slightly with a finger. The big minus is the clearance. Despite the manufacturer's declared ground clearance of 160, installing the crankcase protection ate up a good 3-4 centimeters. This turned the Kia Rio Hatchback III into a typical city car. Sad but true.

Advantages : maneuverability. High-torque engine. Comfortable fit and ergonomics.

Flaws : assembly. Weak air conditioning. Metal. Clearance.
