How budget car class B, KIA RIO 3 does not claim speed records. Its destiny is constant maneuvering in megacities, parking in small areas, frequent stops at traffic lights and in traffic jams. The car can show all its speed characteristics only outside the city, gaining cruising speed. The power units that are installed on the KIA Rio from 2011 to 2016 fully meet all the requirements necessary for a calm or hectic city ride.
From Alpha to Gamma
The Russian consumer was offered a sedan, and then a hatchback, with two gasoline engines. The first models were called Alpha and did not change for a long time. The Russian version of the car has improved Gamma engines. Their serial designation is G4AE. The motors have a single-row arrangement of four cylinders, each of which has 4 valves. Thanks to the designers, the Gamma turned out to be much more successful than its predecessor. This is noticeable in the following signs:
- The timing belt is missing. Now a reliable, chain drive is used instead;
- Changed the location of the intake valve, so the manifolds are in front of the unit, which allows for better cooling, more efficient fuel supply and increased power;
- The location of mounted units has changed, which reduced the occurrence of some problems;
- The motors received plastic intake manifolds. This affected the smoothness of the fuel supply and improved noise performance;
- The valves were left without hydraulic compensation. This change made maintenance easier.
In addition, completely new approaches were used in Gamma engines, which had a beneficial effect on specifications. In particular:
- Candles are arranged in a new way and began to receive more cooling, which reduced fuel consumption;
- The cooling jacket has increased, reducing the temperature of the gases at the outlet;
- Axis displacement between the crankshaft and the center of the cylinder reduced friction and increased engine life;
- The lightweight aluminum block has become more rigid and reliable.
It is safe to say that the engines Kia Rio the third generation is a completely new series, which is in no way comparable to the engines of the second, and even more so the first generation of Korean cars. For greater confidence, you can add an improved generator operation. When picking up speed, it reduces its power, sparing the engine. During braking, the opposite happens. Now the alternator can effectively serve for charging battery at idle. Due to the double thermostat in the cooling system, a more quick warm-up motor.
The main place for assembling power units for KIA RIO 3 is Shandong Province, China. To find out more exactly where the engine was assembled, you can check the serial number on the unit.
Characteristics of engines and gearboxes Kia RIO III in different trim levels
In world markets, the total range of KIA RIO III engines is represented by four options, of which two are gasoline and the other two are diesel.
Overview of the 1.4L engine

Both engines run on AI-92 gasoline and comply with the EURO-4 international standard.
Diesel variant
Such KIA RIO cars were not intended for Russian production. However, on domestic roads, you can still meet Kia Rio in a hatchback or sedan body, having diesel engine. Manufacturers offer two options. One of them: a 3-cylinder diesel engine in 1.1 liters. It is capable of delivering 70 hp. from. power. In this case, the torque is 162 Nm. The second unit has a volume of 1.4 liters with a maximum power of 90 liters. from. and a torque of 216 Nm.
Review of prices and equipment of the new Rio 3
Since 2011, KIO RIO 3 has been presented on the domestic market in two body styles - a sedan and a hatchback. Manufacturers offer four basic configurations: "Comfort", "Lux", "Prestige" and "Premium". Almost each of them has a corresponding package of options, which increases comfort, but at the same time significantly affects the price. The cost of the car is largely related to which engine is installed on the KIA RIO.
Most cheap car in the basic configuration it costs 534.9 thousand rubles. At the same time, it is equipped with a 1.4 liter engine and a manual transmission. If a four-speed automatic is used in the Comfort package, then the price rises to 592 thousand rubles.
As for 1.6 liter engine G4AE, then in the “Luxe” version with manual transmission, the car is sold at prices from 559 thousand rubles. A six-speed automatic transmission will raise the cost from 599 thousand to 724.9 thousand rubles.
Concerning Maintenance KIO RIO III, then on average it costs 6-7 thousand rubles.
Engine breakdowns KIA Rio 3
The use of engines from the Beijing Hyundai Motor Company in the third generation Kia Rio destroys the general perception of the quality of Chinese products. During the operation, these motors have proven their survivability and endurance. In many parameters and resource, they are absolutely not inferior to the leading European brands. And yet, each mechanism is subject to breakdowns, which can be caused by various reasons.
Variants of malfunctions of the Gamma engines used in the third generation Kia Rio:
- Knock in the engine. If this sound disappears when warmed up, then the timing chain is the cause. Knocking in a warm engine indicates incorrect valve adjustment.
- Oil stains. Valve cover gasket problem.
- Constant sounds, reminiscent of clicking and chirping. Factory flaws in the injectors.
- Turnover change. Check for possible contamination of the throttle valve.
- Increased vibration. The reason can be hidden both in the damper, which needs cleaning, and in the candles. A more serious harbinger could be damage to the engine mount.
- Whistling sound. The alternator belt needs to be tightened or replaced.
How long will Gamma motors last?
Such a question can never be answered unambiguously. The resource of the KIO RIO engine, like other cars, depends on many factors, ranging from operating rules to the place of its production. It is assumed that in the conditions of Russia, before the first overhaul, the car will cover at least 150 thousand km. The owners of the KIA RIO sedan and hatchback agree on this figure. Experts add another 100 thousand km to this figure.
As practice shows, every 90 thousand km require valve adjustment. In this case, it is necessary to change the glasses.
It is useful for owners of budget vehicles to find out the features of power units installed on Kia cars Ria.
The upcoming study focuses on the advantages and disadvantages of these engines, recommendations for proper maintenance and maintenance. The proposed publication will help determine the appropriate fuel and oil.
What is bad and what is good about the Kia Rio engine.
Adviсe owners for proper care
Not every driver can afford a business class car from leading European manufacturers.
Most are content with little, choosing domestic cars.
There is another a budget option provided on Russian market Korean automotive suppliers. This article will tell you what the engine is in reality Kia Rio, and what measures will help the owner to maintain the original characteristics of the unit for a long time.
Characteristics of the power plant Kia Rio
Korean manufacturers have taken care of the convenience of Russian motorists. Their creation is great for domestic roads. This is facilitated by the following characteristics of the power unit:
- the possibility of refueling AI-92 gasoline. For most budget owners vehicle the issue of saving is in the first place, so the use of cheap fuel is important;
- in difficult conditions Russian roads very useful is a special anti-corrosion compound, protecting the bottom of the body from the effects of domestic dirt;
- harsh climate is not a hindrance to starting the engine. The developers have provided the ability to start the engine at temperatures up to -35 С. Therefore, the car has proven itself perfectly even in the conditions of the northern regions;
- domestic public utilities are struggling with the icing of winter roads, generously sprinkling them with salt. Korean manufacturers secured the radiator, protecting it with a special composition that protects against such troubles.
It should be noted that the Kia Rio provides for the installation of power units two types differing in volume and power. Each of them requires separate consideration.
Features of the 1.4-liter Kia Rio engine
To begin with, we note that this power unit is basic. Its characteristic is the ability to 6300 revolutions per minute to develop engine power, considered equivalent 107 Horse power. Given the use of AI-92, this is a very good indicator. Mechanical transmission allows for just 11.5 seconds for a car to reach a speed of 100 km/h.
On an open track, such an engine consumes only 4.9 l fuel. Driving on city streets increases the absorption of gasoline to 7.6 l. Movement in the combined cycle is characterized by fuel consumption in 5.9 l.
In another measurement system, 1.4 l corresponds to a volume of 1396 cm3. The engine has four active cylinders. Each of them has 4 valves. The working stroke of the piston is determined by the value 75 mm inside a cylinder with a diameter of 77 mm.
Fully using the resource of the Kia Rio engine, the driver is able to reach speeds of up to 190 km / h. Such indicators are very acceptable for domestic motorists who prefer fast driving at minimal fuel costs.
Features of the 1.6-liter engine
The relatively small volume, however, allows the power unit to develop engine power comparable to the efforts 123 frisky horses. This allows the driver to feel unshakable confidence in the reliability of the vehicle.
Personally, I pour into the gas tank of such an engine exclusively AI-95. In this case, saving by refueling with cheaper fuel is very unwise, since this can negative to impact on performance characteristics motor for Kia Rio.
Another distinctive feature of the engine that equips the Kia Rio is timing drive, represented by a chain mechanism. This greatly simplifies the replacement process and increases the durability of the device. Although the timing chain contributes to an increase in some driving rigidity and noise in the cabin, these shortcomings are fully offset by an increase in the reliability and endurance of the power unit.
When driving around the city, a 1.6-liter engine consumes approximately 8 l fuel. If you intend to travel on an open highway, fuel should be poured into the tank at the rate of 5 l. It is somewhat more difficult to determine how much gasoline will be needed when driving on a combined type of terrain. Experienced drivers for mixed cycle stock 6.6 l.
The dynamic performance of the engine is similar to the previous model. Only the piston stroke and cylinder diameters differ. For power plant 1.6 liters they are 85.4 and 87 mm, respectively.
1.6 liter engine flaws
Possessing a sufficient number of positive characteristics, the considered motor model also has quite significant flaws. They deserve special mention:
- limitation space engine compartment at enough large sizes engine makes access to some nodes very problematic. Therefore, it is possible to repair certain parts only after additional dismantling of the power plant;
- since the temperature of the engine in operation is quite high performance, problems may arise due to the material of manufacture of the cylinder head. As you know, aluminum does not tolerate thermal surges. However, this flaw is compensated by the output performance of the technological alloy;
- ignition and gas distribution systems must be replaced only in set. It simplifies overhaul engine, reducing labor costs, but making it impossible to partially replace the parts of these mechanisms;
- perhaps the most significant drawback of the considered power units is considered low maintainability. Even professionals of specialized services with great reluctance take on major repairs after damage to the main components.
These shortcomings do not detract from the undeniable advantages of this motor. They are also worth considering in more detail.
The advantages of the power unit 1.6 l
Most modern motorists prefer to buy cars with just such an engine. The selection takes into account the following positive sides characterizing the motor:
- saving due to lower fuel consumption. Moderate driving on the combined cycle route requires only 6 liters of fuel. Personally, I have always poured gasoline from this calculation;
- attractive is the extreme reliability of the main functional units, ensuring trouble-free operation of the engine of the Kio Rio sedan for more than 200 thousand kilometers;
- high dynamism, characterized by the ability to accelerate to 100 km / h in just 10.3 seconds;
- optimal distribution of performance between the engine and transmission creates an excellent elasticity of the power plant. This instills confidence in the driver in the most difficult traffic situation.
Despite some difficulties caused by the impossibility partial replacement certain elements of the gas distribution mechanism and the ignition system, for professional mechanics of specialized service shops, repair of the Kia Rio engine is quite business as usual. The cost of such services is also considered quite acceptable.
The exclusivity of the resource of the power unit is confirmed by car owners who over a five-year period have overcome over 300 thousand km. The remarkable fact is that the sedan did not show any tangible problems with the engine.
The manufacturer provides for the need for technical inspection after passing every 10 thousand km. Even middle-income car owners may well afford to use the services of specialized workshops. The affordable cost of maintenance is due to the simplicity of the design of the power unit.
There are several secrets that can increase the life of the motor:
- The lifespan of a vehicle depends largely on what kind of oil is poured into the engine Kia Rio. It is recommended to choose brands verified producers, certainly taking into account the seasonality of the oil product. It also needs to be updated regularly. motor oil for Kia Rio, be sure to replace the oil filter. Manufacturers have set the maximum mileage on the same lubricant, determined by 15,000 km. However, experienced drivers try to change the oil product every 7000 km;
- gasoline should only be poured into specialized gas stations. This will help eliminate the use of low-quality fuel. Cheap counterfeit fuel can quickly disable a completely serviceable power unit;
- The last piece of advice concerns driving style. Calm measured ride save the car much longer than recklessness.

Kia Rio cars are quite popular in Russia. These are one of the most budgetary foreign cars that are available for sale from good choice configurations. Gasoline engines 1.6 Kia Rio are installed on cars with both manual and automatic transmissions. Proper operation a car with such an engine will allow it to travel more than 200 thousand kilometers. Within the framework of this article, we will consider what are the features of the 1.6 Kia Rio engine, how long is its service life, and how to properly operate cars with such engines.
Table of contents:Engine characteristics 1.6 Kia Rio
Kia's 1.6 car engine, which is installed on the Rio model and a number of others, is made of aluminum alloy, with the exception of steel cylinder liners. The motor, with its small volume, the motor has a declared power of 123 hp, which is enough to accelerate a car with a not very heavy body to 100 km / h in 10-11 seconds.
Motor problems 1.6 Kia Rio
The 1.6 engine is quite unpretentious in maintenance, and it is practically devoid of serious typical problems. Most often, repair of the Kia Rio motor is required due to the breakdown of some individual parts, as a result of their long continuous operation or the presence of a factory defect.
From typical problems engines 1.6 can be noted "floating" speed idle move. Such a problem on the Kia Rio took place due to the software. In modern car models manufactured after 2017, this problem is solved by default. If a car of earlier years of production is purchased, and work with the ECU firmware was not carried out after it was released from the factory, it is possible that you may encounter a similar malfunction.
Please note: Idling may also appear due to the poor quality of the fuel used.
To minimize the chance of engine failure Kia car Rio, you need to pay attention to the following points when operating it:
Engine resource 1.6 Kia Rio
In books about technical operation Kia Rio you can find information that the resource of a car engine is 250-300 thousand kilometers, and the guaranteed service life is indicated at 200 thousand kilometers.
In fact, in urban realities Kia engine Rio 1.6 works flawlessly for 150-180 thousand kilometers. After that, he may begin to “crumble”. The fact is that the actual mileage for urban conditions is not always indicated on the dashboard of a car. The car often has to stand in a traffic jam, so instead of the declared 250-300 thousand, it is able to cover less kilometers.
Note: automatic boxes gears in Kia Rio most often fail before problems with the engine begin. Therefore, if you want to buy a car that can drive 150-180 thousand kilometers in the city, it is better to choose models with manual transmission.

Where have evolutionary processes taken the Koreans? And a few words about the new Kia Rio Gamma (G4FA) engines with a volume of 1.4 and 1.6 liters.
Sectional view of the evolution of the Kia Rio engine
Korean-made cars have long conquered the markets of the CIS countries, and as practice shows, they are not going to give up their positions. New Kia Rio, which debuted in the 11th year of the 2000s, has become a cult car far beyond the borders of its homeland. You can talk about the innovations that have been updated in this sedan for a long time, but in a special way I would like to note its technical characteristics. So let's not waste time.
New heart, new life
On the automotive market the model came with two types of inline four-cylinder Gamma engine, the volumes of which are 1.4 and 1.6 liters, respectively. The first heart of the Kia Rio beats with a power of 107 hp. from. and torque -135 N/m. Another, at 1.6 liters, lives on a purity of 123 liters. from. and 155 N/m of torque. Surprisingly different is that, compared to previous Kia Rio engines , real Gamma engines have significantly reduced fuel consumption and emissions of harmful gases into the atmosphere. While improving the average technical indicators. So, there was a worthy replacement for the old Alpha engine with a volume of 1.4 liters. The transmission on the new Kio Rio is represented by four types of control, two automatics and two mechanics:
- 6-ki automatic and mechanical;
- 5-speed mechanical;
- And 4-speed automatic;
All this significantly affected the dynamic performance of the Kia Rio. So, a 1.4-liter engine reaches a hundred in 13.6 seconds, developing a maximum of 168 km / h at such rates. And his brother Gamma 1.6 will be a little faster at a hundred, in 11.3 seconds. The highest speed of this trotter is 178 km/h.
How did you achieve these results?
Thanks to several design features, which distinguish the new Kia Rio device, manufacturers were able not only to improve engine performance, but also introduced several fundamentally new solutions to the concepts of engine building. Some of them:
- We increased the volume of the cooling jacket, which made it possible to reduce the t ° of exhaust gases, and this is additional protection;
- Thanks to better cooling candles, the ignition timing was increased, which significantly saves fuel;
- The axis was shifted between the center of the cylinder and crankshaft by 10 mm, which reduces friction and increases durability.
But that's not all. The fact is that the device of the third generation Kia Rio engine is fundamentally different from the engines that were in the cars of the second generation. And comparing them, of course, is just as incorrect as comparing a good smartphone and some black and white monoblock. But how nice it is!
Let's compare the features that distinguish Gamma engines from the old Alpha
What can I say, there were unexpectedly many of them. In principle, this is not surprising, for the Chinese, the head has always worked in the right direction. Let's see what they've got.
- If you pay attention to the location of the collectors, then, unlike the previous model of the Kia Rio engine, the Chinese decided that the intake manifold with a catalyst should be at the back, between the engine and the engine shield. The intake valve was placed at the front and therefore the air inlet is colder. This means that its density is higher, which allows you to supply more fuel to the cylinder and, as a result, increase power;
- Pleased with the absence of ever-requiring maintenance timing belt. There was a good replacement, now instead of it on the Kia Rio there is a chain drive, hidden in the block, which is regulated by two hydraulic tensioners;
- If we compare the 1.4 engine of the Alpha series with the 1.4 Gamma engine, then the location of the attachments has changed in the latter. The generator, for example, has migrated up, which reduces the risk of flooding. The A/C compressor is now at the front and the power steering pump is at the back. In principle, the same changes are observed on Gamma 6;
- The intake manifold is plastic, with a small box on the intake pipe - this is a resonator, it reduces intake pulsation and noise level;
- The drive mechanism for all 16 valves was replaced - it lost its hydraulic compensation, but this only benefited. Since now it is not necessary to adjust the gaps between them.
In addition to all this, the generator operation mode has been improved. During acceleration, the power will decrease so as not to force the motor, taking it away from it, and during braking, vice versa. To a certain extent, it even acts as a motor protection against unnecessary overloads. At the same time, using the inertial course of transport to recharge the battery. In addition, installing a double thermostat in the cooling system will allow the engine to warm up more quickly.
How to take care of your motor
Since engine repair is usually a costly process and most often, if it starts, endless, then compliance with the pair simple rules save you from unnecessary fuss. Engine protection and care is: high-quality fuel, properly selected oil and antifreeze, not water. The last thing to remember!
About oil
For maximum acceptable performance and protection KIA engine RIO was correspondingly high, choose only one that will meet the requirements of ILSAC or API. Those lubricants should not be used, the viscosity index of which does not have the proper SAE grade.
In general, KIA officially fills its engines with Hyundai OIL Bank, SK Lubricants, S-Oil and a couple more lubricants. In terms of specifics, they are like twin brothers to Ilsakovsky GF-3/4/5. Everyone has analogues of the brand 5w-20.
Oil and filter change
Naturally, the first thing to do is to drain the old oil, and for this:
- On the oil filler neck protection(cover), it must be removed;
- Pull out the drain plug and drain the oil, but not on the ground, but into some container.
The next step is to replace the filter:
- Remove the oil filter;
- Inspect and clean its mounting surface. Check for defects;
- Make sure the new filter is identical to the one you are replacing;
- Apply new oil to the gasket of the new filter element;
- In place, twist it slightly so that the new gasket touches the seat.
- Tighten to the end.
And finally, oil change:
- Install the cleaned hole plug with a new gasket;
- Fill with fresh engine oil. Do not fill it above the F mark.
According to the manuals for Kia Rio 1.4 and 1.6, an oil change should occur almost every 7,500 km. And despite the fact that things are often written in them that are completely far from reality, it is better that complete replacement oil, and not add it a little bit. Well, what oil filter you need to change it every time the oil changes, probably even an ordinary service station worker knows.
How to protect the motor from constant temperature changes
It's bad that Koreans don't live and build their cars here. This is probably why car owners have to think on their own about how to protect their cars from overheating and freezing. The maximum -5 ° in Korea and ours - 25 ° differ significantly.
Of course, thermostats were replaced in both Kia Rio 1.4 and 1.6 engines, but, unfortunately, this does not solve the problems. From our frosts, even a triple thermostat is not protection. Therefore, you have to warm up the car for 15 minutes every morning before starting it.
Looking through various sites and forums on automotive topics, I came across one interesting idea: an internal combustion engine insulation tool. In simple terms - a blanket for the engine. I immediately remembered the old, woolen blankets that even grandfathers served as protection against freezing of their bugs. But here everything is somewhat more solid.
It is reasonable to use such a means of thermal insulation for several reasons:
- The insulation prevents freezing of the elements of the engine mechanism Gamma 4 and 1.6, which makes it possible to start at very low temperatures;
- A car blanket is a replacement for the need to frequently warm up a car.
The latter, by the way, also simultaneously solves two problems: this is fuel economy, that is, protection personal wallet, and precious time.
conclusions
As you can see, there are always pros and cons, even such good engines, like the Gamma 1.6 and Gamma 1.4, so how good this replacement was in the automotive player market, only time will tell. Everyone has their own preferences, but I like this machine.
Engine Kia Rio 1.4 liters of the current third generation model produces 107 hp. For such a small volume, this is quite a lot of power, especially considering that the engine is atmospheric and designed to work with 92nd gasoline. The Kia Rio power unit with a working volume of 1396 cm3 has a 16-valve timing mechanism, a chain is in the drive. This motor has a lot of advantages, but there are quite a few disadvantages.
Unit Gamma 1.4 replaced the Alpha series motors in 2010. The design of outdated engines was based on a cast-iron block, a 16-valve mechanism with hydraulic compensators and a belt in the drive. The new Kia Rio Gamma engines have an aluminum block consisting of the block itself and a cast pastel for the crankshaft, see the photo below. The Rio engine does not have hydraulic lifters.. Valve adjustment is usually carried out after 90,000 kilometers, or, if necessary, with increased noise, from under the valve cover. The procedure for adjusting the valves consists in replacing the pushers that stand between the valves and the camshaft cams. The process itself is not easy and expensive. The chain drive is very reliable if you monitor the oil level. But the manufacturer recommends replacing the chain, tensioners and dampers after 180 thousand mileage. To this is usually added the replacement of sprockets, which is generally not cheap.
When buying a Kyo Rio with a high engine mileage, consider these facts. Extra noises and knocks from under the hood should seriously alert. After all, you, in which case, then sort out the engine. The Kia Rio engine is assembled exclusively in China. So choose carefully new car so that later you would not have to adjust the valves under warranty by replacing the pushers.
The big disadvantage of the almost completely aluminum Kia Rio 1.4 engine is oil consumption. If zhor has begun, do not be lazy to check the level more often and, if necessary, add it. Oil starvation is fatal for this motor. Excessive noise is usually a sign that the oil level is low. You can't drive for that long.
If you feel unstable operation of the motor, this may be the cause of the chain stretching. To calm your soul, you can see if the marks on the crankshaft pulley and camshaft sprockets match. Photo next.
The timing marks of the Rio engine in the photo are the top dead center for the first cylinder (TDC). We decided to replace the timing chain ourselves, then this image will be very useful to you.
The rather good power of the 1.4-liter engine, which is branded G4FA, is determined not only by the 16-valve mechanism with overhead camshafts (DOHC), but also by the presence of a CVVT variable valve timing system. True, the actuator of the system is only on the intake camshaft. Today, more efficient Gamma 1.4 engines have appeared that have a phase change system on two shafts, plus direct fuel injection, but these engines are not supplied to Russia. Pro . Further more detailed specifications Rio 1.4 liter engine.
Kia Rio 1.4 engine, fuel consumption, dynamics
- Working volume - 1396 cm3
- Number of cylinders / valves - 4/16
- Cylinder diameter - 77 mm
- Piston stroke - 75 mm
- HP power - 107 at 6300 rpm
- Torque - 135 Nm at 5000 rpm
- Compression ratio - 10.5
- Timing Drive - Chain
- Maximum speed - 190 kilometers per hour (with automatic transmission 170 km / h)
- Acceleration to the first hundred - 11.5 seconds (with automatic transmission 13.5 seconds)
- Fuel consumption in the city - 7.6 liters (with automatic transmission 8.5 liters)
- Fuel consumption in the combined cycle - 5.9 liters (with automatic transmission 7.2 liters)
- Fuel consumption on the highway - 4.9 liters (with automatic transmission 6.4 liters)
It is worth noting that in the restyled version of the Kia Rio with a 1.4 engine, only a 5-speed mechanical box gears, or a 4-band automatic. With more volume power unit 1.6 liters already combines a 6-speed manual and a 6-band automatic. Judging by the numerous customer reviews of Kia Rio real consumption more fuel, especially in city mode.
