In 2017, the domestic market was shocked by the release of two new models popular brands Kia and Hyundai. Rio and Solaris have earned the love of many motorists because of their relatively low cost, good equipment and excellent driving performance.
Kia Rio, starting from the first series, won fame and systematically consolidated its position as a solid vehicle B class, but Rio 2017 is a different car that has undergone many changes and is as close as possible to the C class.
New body in 2017 model
In pursuit of improving many characteristics, the engineers of the new Kia Rio 2017 lengthened the car by three centimeters and increased it wheelbase. New body significantly different from its predecessor.
Now the car resembles a car of the future and will surely appeal to fans of bold decisions. The license plate of the vehicle has moved down and created some void between the rear lights, giving Kia Rio in the new body some charm.
Of the other differences that new model 2017 can be distinguished:
- slightly slanted lights;
- broaching line of the front hood;
- more accurate and compact section of the trunk;
- the appearance of boomerang reflectors.
There are two body options in the 2017 Kia Rio model - a sedan and a hatchback. The company decided not to produce a station wagon and preferred the more popular body types of this car model.
Kia Rio 2017 received seven color options, four of which have not been seen before. In more affordable versions of the car, engineers put in simple fifteen-inch stamped wheels.
lovers alloy wheels they can pay attention to top-end configurations, where fifteen and sixteen-inch castings flaunt. According to reviews real owners, fifteen-inch wheels are preferred.
So, big wheels look nice, but more compact wheels hold the road much better and respond to driver commands.
Innovations in the salon
The contours and geometry of the interior did not undergo any significant changes in the new Rio 2017 model. Unfortunately, Kia felt that the leather visor was not needed in the Rio car and removed it in the 2017 model year.
The multimedia features of the new car are:
- radio training in the cheapest configuration;
- a simple radio with a monochrome display in the basic set;
- high-quality system with a touch screen in the top performance of the car.
Surcharge for the best multimedia system is about three hundred thousand rubles. The top radio has a great screen, responsive touch screen and lightning-fast response to button presses.
The monochrome model of the player, available in basic configurations, is also quite good. If navigation is not required, then choosing a simple radio will be more preferable.
Close to radio Kia showroom Rio 2017 has an air conditioning or climate control control unit.
In the case of buying a more expensive model with climate control, drivers become available:
- heating of all glasses;
- heated wipers.
A little lower, under the air conditioner unit, there are USB, AUX connectors and two 12-volt sockets.
Kia Rio hatchback will delight buyers with a contrasting dashboard. Compared to models of previous generations, the screen size of the on-board computer has increased and its functionality has expanded.
In terms of finishing materials for the torpedo, the manufacturer decided not to experiment and left the same wear-resistant plastic.
Seat adjustment in both the sedan modification and the hatchback modification remained unchanged.
In the basic configurations of the car, the steering wheel adjustment is available only along one axis, and the top-end configurations expand this functionality and allow you to fine-tune the steering column, both horizontally and vertically.
According to information from the manufacturer, landing on the driver's seat has become two and a half centimeters lower. This is done so that the motorist can feel better control and respond faster to emergency situations.
A special mention is the change of the roof. The changes made to the design made it possible to reduce the blind zone by thirty centimeters and increase the viewing angle by four degrees.
The upholstery in the new model of the car also has not undergone significant changes. In the basic trim levels, the seats are trimmed with a special wear-resistant fabric, and in the premium version of the car, the trim is made using eco-leather.
The latter option is far from ideal for hot days, but it is much more practical than fabric.
In general, unlike the bodywork, the interior of the car has undergone minor changes and is still a model for cars in this price range.
The length of the car increased by three centimeters, which led to an increase in passenger space. rear seats. Now people with a height of meter eighty will not push the back of the front seats with their knees, but will be able to feel very comfortable in the back seat.
The new Kia car model is available in the following colors:
- red, official name colors - Fiery Red;
- white or Crystal White;
- brown - the manufacturer assigned this color the designation Siena Brown;
- gray or Urban Grey;
- dark gray or Ice Wine;
- silvery. The official name of the color shade is Sleek Silver;
- black or Phantom Black;
- orange or Sunset Orange;
- blue is the official name of Marina Blue.
Key features of Kia Rio 2017
The new kia rio 2017 received some structural changes to the suspension and other chassis components. So, rear shock absorbers the manufacturer placed the suspension almost vertically.
In addition, Kia engineers changed the size of the washer fluid reservoir from four to about four and a half liters. Ground clearance updated Kia was 160 millimeters.
The car's suspension setup is different from the competition. For example, when driving on a Hyundai Solaris, the driver will literally fly over small bumps and imperfections pavement.
In the case of Kia, the person behind the wheel will clearly feel all the defects in the asphalt pavement due to more rigid springs shock absorber.
The characteristics of the steering wheel have changed slightly. It has become much easier to rotate. The volume of the Kia trunk in the sedan, as before, is 480 liters.
Technical Kia specifications Rio 2017 include two types of engine:
- 6 liter with a capacity of 123 horsepower and acceleration to a hundred kilometers in 10.3 seconds.
- 4 liter with a capacity of 100 horses and acceleration to a hundred in 11.2 seconds.
Both engines have variable intake tract geometry and phase shifters. Despite the constant improvements of the engines, they still allow operation on brand 92 gasoline. dimensions and capacity fuel tank.
Now drivers can pour fifty liters of gasoline into the car, instead of forty-three in the previous generations of Kia Rio.
As before, in more expensive versions of the car, it is possible to install special Keyless Entry handles. This feature will allow car owners not to deliver the key from their pocket. You just need to approach the car and the door locks will open by themselves.
Among the shortcomings of the new model, one can single out poor sound insulation and vibration loading. The increased dimensions and a large number of high-supporting metals in the composition of the body have led to the fact that when driving, road noise is clearly audible, and small bumps cause a noticeable vibration of the steering ring.
Fuel consumption indicator
The fuel consumption of the 2017 kia rio has not changed much.
The objective indicators of fuel consumption are as follows:
- City cycle.
Consumption is 7.2 liters for a 1.4 liter engine and 8.5 liters for a 1.6 liter engine when using mechanical box gear shifting. The same figures for the machine are 8 and 8.9 liters, respectively. - Movement outside the city.
In this mode, a car with a junior engine and mechanics consumes 4.8 liters per hundred kilometers, and with an older engine - 5.1 liters. An automatic gearbox increases the figures to 4.8 and 5.3 liters per hundred kilometers of the car. - combined cycle.
When driving in combined mode, the performance of the junior engine is 5.7 for mechanical transmission and 6.4 for the machine. The older motor in these conditions consumes 6 and 6.1 liters, respectively.
The difference between the modes is about half a liter of fuel. This outcome can be explained by the fact that the car has become one hundred kilograms heavier than the previous generation. In addition, an increase in the wheelbase and the addition of new species options could also slightly affect fuel consumption.

Interior. Style and variety
Salon changed dramatically. In a significant number of aluminum inserts, there is a resemblance to one of the brands of the big German three. The color styles of its design have become more diverse and massive. This became possible, among other things, due to the increase in the size of the internal space. The steering wheel is now multifunctional. He looks interesting in the background dashboard which has been updated. Above the cabin climate control unit, an AVN class MMC was deployed with a 7-inch display, conveniently configured with side buttons. The seats have added lateral support and density. Passenger or driver of any size will be able to get here. In the simplest trim levels, they are fabric, more expensive ones have leather trim of decent quality. RIO is one of the few cars in its class that has not only heated steering wheel and seats, but also windshield and windshield washer nozzles. In general, the interior is concise and varied at the same time. He has his own style.
Features of technical equipment
under the hood new kia Rio has two four-cylinder engines. The first of them, with a capacity of 100 hp, has a volume of 1.4 liters. The second, at the maximum, produces 123 hp. with a volume of 1.6 liters. It is characterized by an additional phase shifter and an improved intake manifold. Both engines are in solidarity with automatic transmission and manual transmission. Moreover, all types of transmissions have six steps. Previously, the owners of these Kia often complained about the excessively stiff suspension. Shock absorbers and springs often failed, unable to cope with Russian potholes. The manufacturer carefully analyzed everything and made the necessary improvements. The tilt angles of the shock struts in both axles have been changed. This increased the reliability of the suspension and improved handling characteristics. This is facilitated by the electric power steering, which replaced its hydraulic "colleague".
What can be said about Rio in the domestic market, this is perhaps one of the flagships of all foreign manufacturers that are only represented here. The car is really popular, there are probably more car fans than in the homeland itself. Especially since price policy develops in a more or less fair basis, compared with the same domestic Frets.
The new generation, already in the fourth generation, was shown for the domestic market through a presentation on June 23 this year. The car has previously changed outwardly slightly, perhaps the technological aspect can be safely called the main advantage of the current generation. That is, everything in terms of technology, including the technical part, has changed on a car, if not dramatically, then quite significantly compared to its predecessor, and to some extent even more noticeable among similar representatives of the class.
Design
Interestingly, they tried to leave the appearance recognizable, and this is understandable, given the incredible popularity, as for a foreign product. And all this is happening in a period of a very unfolding crisis.
The front part, here the basis of the changes is the bumper. The image is more like a sports car, it is even emphasized by the foglights, or rather the location where they are located.
Regarding optics, you will be surprised, but in addition to external forms, a lot of work has been done to update the filling, many senior representatives will envy. Regarding the front, there is also a different grille, not straight, fundamentally new, just a slightly narrowed arch itself, although it does not offer a new style, it looks presentable, and even unique.
The silhouette, there are no questions about this part, the main thing that shrunk to capture is the inflated wheel arches, and slightly pressed down doors, otherwise everything is unchanged.
On the back of the expectations justified only half. The bumper, perhaps, was focused on it, for some reason moving the number frame there, it looks, of course, interesting, but not so unique. About the trunk lid, the conversation comes to a standstill, it is clear that the room has been vacated, but it still feels empty. Moreover, the taillights have not expanded significantly. In general, outwardly everything is new, in fact, just transferred elements, which we achieved, rather just a new look, because nothing has changed in the depths.
Colors
With regards to the palette of shades, as expected, a wide range of colors is offered. Here they did not limit themselves to classic black, red, blue, yellow, gray, white, but were able to create unique shades that are available for a very impressive amount.
Salon
As for the decoration of the interior space, the changes are significant, and it would be difficult to pass them by. And so, first of all, let's start the review with the steering wheel, as we see, in addition to the new form, we have expanded the list of available keys. Next, the instrument panel, finally got rid of the awesome motorcycle shackles. Now a normal, classic on-board monitor is available.
The central unit is offered with a huge monitor, as well as quite a worthy allotment of functions for it. However, as for me, there is still a drawback and this is the climate block. A completely ill-conceived console, a traditional problem for everyone modern cars, this is what the review is closed by the gearshift knob.
The next thing to talk about is the seats, of course, it was stupid to expect a change of seats, but somehow we managed to re-equip the back row, so that now the rear passengers feel comfortable. As for the materials, it is quite high-quality leather.
The luggage compartment is modest, but even the average figures are impressive. The standard, stowed position allows you to place a load of 580 liters.
Specifications
According to those sources who are familiar with the model, they report that the platform, and the entire structure that has a connection with it, remained the same. The only exception to all this is the suspension, the designers did a little work there, what exactly they changed, we will find out later.
The steering is announced with an extensive list of assistants, even steering It is said to be equipped with an adaptive cruise. Most likely it will be an option for the top-end configuration. It is also known that in addition to the 6-speed "mechanics", the manufacturer will offer a modified "automatic".
