The creators claim that this car feels great in such an environment and is fully adapted to it. This is evidenced by the emphasis on comfort suspension settings and huge energy consumption. In addition, the Kia Rio clearance is also pleasing.
Every centimeter is important
Thanks to the enhanced suspension, motorists will not need to visit the service often. The concern’s engineers also took into account the quality of the road surface in Russia and the CIS and raised the 2013 Kia Rio clearance to 16 cm.

There are airbags, daytime running lights, ABS, an emergency braking warning system ESS, parking sensors, air conditioning, an on-board computer and other nice options.
The interior and exterior of the car will also please the owner: sitting in the car, you feel that everything has been done with Korean scrupulousness - efficiently and accurately. Even with inexpensive materials, the basic equipment with its modest equipment does not create a feeling of austerity. Convenience and comfort of the driver during the ride, obviously, were the main criterion: ergonomic seats are regulated according to the parameters of the owner. Of course, in Russia, the country of broken roads and high curbs, the significant clearance of the Kia Rio is also considered to be a winning indicator.
