The manufacturers of the Kia Rio car once again proved that a brilliant designer is able to turn around even on the smallest spot and make something new and unusual out of a car on an old platform. World-famous designer Peter Schreyer, who previously created the image for some models of Audi, Volkswagen, became the creator of a new appearance for Kia Rio. Reviews about this designer speak about one thing - he is a genius. He was able to make the new Kia Rio look more expensive, representative. This is surprising, because in fact this car is a "state employee", which claims to become the best-selling car.
The new Kia is technologically similar to the Hyundai Accent. The same engines, the same gearboxes, the same chassis and suspension. But the design decisions of Peter Schreyer simply pulled the car to a new level, made it original.
The new Kia style is more like a sports one, although, again, do not forget that we have a budget car. The Korean company proved to everyone that “budgetary” does not mean at all that the car is ugly. On the contrary, he pleases everyone with his charming appearance. Reviews about Kia Rio have already left a huge number of people, and it is extremely rare among them to meet any negative words about the car.
The developers were embarrassed because it was necessary to create a car that would not take customers away from Hyundai Accent, since this car also turned out to be quite interesting. According to the same developers, they coped with their task and were able to interest another audience. So, in their opinion, the main buyers of their car should be young people who are no more than 35 years old, mostly single, who did not have their own car or who preferred previously supported foreign cars. Looking ahead, it is worth noting that they did not fail with this clientele. And now, many people in this category ride the Kia Rio. Reviews from such owners, to date, are only positive.
As for the interior, it has also been completely updated. If Hyundai Accent contains a large number of cosmo-notes in the design elements, then the interior elements of Kia Rio are calmer. Trim materials at a height, nothing knocks, does not drum, everything is very nice to the touch. The fact that manufacturers decided to move away from the "budget" image, says the leather trim on the visor Kia Rio devices. Feedback from drivers suggests that comfort is sufficient even when driving long distances. When you stay inside the cabin, you feel that you are inside an expensive car, all the details are well thought out, strict, concise and rational. For the convenience of the driver, there is a convenient USB-input, as well as control buttons located on the steering wheel. In addition to the audio control buttons , there are buttons on the steering wheel that control the on-board computer. Atypical for a budget car somehow, isn't it? Are the creators of Kia Rio cunning? Reviews speak eloquently, noting the numerous advantages of this model.
A gasoline engine is installed on the car, the volume of which is 1.4 liters, and the power is 107 horsepower. The kit can go either a 5-speed manual gearbox or a 4-speed automatic. The 1.6-liter version of the engine is designed for those who would like to ride a breeze on the Kia Rio. Reviews eloquently say that 123 horsepower is enough to do this.
In general, many more flattering words will be said about Kia Rio. Reviews (today) reflect the real situation. After all, if the manufacturer sets a goal to please himself, and will go to this, then he will succeed. Design, excellent performance on the road, a pleasant feeling while riding, and even just when inside the cabin - all this is very popular with the buyer!
