How long does a Kia Rio engine run? Engine and gearbox KIA Ceed (KIA Sid) their resource and repair

For most owners of Kia cee'd, the engine resource, or rather its numerical characteristics, is an important issue. Of course, without wheels, but with a motor, the car will not move. But any motorist understands that even with wheels, but without a motor, it will not be possible to go far either. For Kia Sid, according to the developer, the engine resource is about 180 thousand kilometers. How good is that? If we compare only the numerical characteristics, then for Sid it is certainly better than for domestic cars with a resource of 150 thousand. But in comparison with the guarantee of cars of European automakers, it is possible and not enough. At the same time, it is worth realizing that the actual life of the engine significantly depends on several important parameters:

  • road condition;
  • operating mode;
  • fuel quality;
  • quality of lubricants;
  • driving style of the driver.

Road condition and mode of operation

As you know, Kia Sid was created based on the operation of its European motorists. Accordingly, the resource indicator of 180 thousand kilometers or 5 years was calculated based on the condition of European roads. Comparison of their coverage with what we have is usually not comforting. In a large city, the roads are, of course, better than outside. Therefore, the engine has every chance to last longer. out of town relatively good road has a strange property to deteriorate sharply. Potholes, potholes or even pits appear on it. Overcoming all these obstacles, of course, you have to increase the engine speed, thereby achieving more power. As a result, a significant acceleration of suspension wear and power unit.

Despite the best quality of urban roads, the engine life can still be reduced. The usual principle of movement in urban areas is short distances, but with a large number of stops. While waiting for traffic to start at a traffic light or in a traffic jam, the entire vehicle is stationary and the engine continues to run at low revs. As a result, wear of its components occurs due to an insufficient amount of incoming lubricant.

To increase the resource Kia engine The optimal LED will try to operate it on average for the load and the number of revolutions.

Fuel and lubricant quality

Any car owner who loves his car knows that it is better to use only the best (in extreme cases, good) quality fuel to power it. In theory, everything is great. In reality, this is often not the case. In pursuit of profit, the owners of small gas stations often do not pay attention to the quality of the purchased products. Price is their priority. As a result, refueling at such a filling station with fuel with the recommended octane rating, we can fill the tank with lower quality fuel. This will lead to rapid detonation of gasoline in the combustion chamber. Accordingly, the piston rings and the pistons themselves will require frequent replacement. At the same time, the vibration load increases and, naturally, the service life of the Kia cee’d power unit decreases. It is worth recalling that low-quality fuel may contain both water and foreign impurities. Getting into the engine and fuel system, they can cause corrosion and breakage of parts.

Sometimes finances are difficult. In such a situation, some drivers try to save on lubricants. The calculation is usually based on the fact that "tomorrow I will change." But as a result, the car is operated for a long time with low-quality oils. Is it worth talking in this case about the duration of the life of the engine and other parts? For Kia Sid, the use of antifreeze of dubious quality is also dangerous. When filling in such a coolant, it is worth remembering that you are putting an extremely risky experiment on your car. Any malfunction of the cooling and lubrication systems will lead to rapid wear of parts. In order to increase the life of the Kia Sid engine, it is necessary to regularly monitor the degree of contamination of the fuel filter.

Driving style

Approximately half of the owners of Kia Seed (and especially pro_cee'd) prefer dynamic high-speed driving. In this case, the car engine often runs at high speeds. It is worth noting that most of these motorists live in cities. Accordingly, the car operates in the "short trip - long stop" mode. When stopped at a traffic light, drivers have to slow down the engine speed and then increase it sharply in order to overtake the “turtles”. As a result, there is another reason to reduce the service life of the power unit.

    The author collected everything to the Heap and ... nothing but Eraz and Colchis did not say anything significant. Two Muscovites were 21412 and 2141-01. We went over 250,000.00 km and sold them. Overhaul of the engine 178,000.00 and 172,000.00 km. If there were similar products, I would now (modern) take them. And to curse everything in a row - sorry ...

    Three years - and never "struck" ... a fairy tale!

    @Russian, because there is nothing more to write about, so the reporters come up with nonsense.

    We have processing a disk for 13 costs 600 rubles, a bottle of acrylic paint - 350 rubles, paint cannot be applied to metal, a primer is needed - about 300 rubles. Total 1250 r.
    A new disk for 13 in the store costs 750 rubles. These manipulations with painting a conventional stamped disc are simply not profitable.

    Without sufficient grounds expressly provided ONLY by federal law, the inspector can only check with the driver his ability to send an employee on a tour to Kathmandu!!!

    They said that Vesta's metal is good, it looks like they ripped the wing open with a can opener.

    outwardly, they are not much different from their predecessors

    power once again shows the Russians that they are the slaves of which the authorities will milk to the grave, taking away everything they can!

    I wonder if the driver of a black car knows that a white car will get better? Ha! Ha

    Lawyers are even bigger charlatans than the same sellers of leftist certificates. The difference is that they secure themselves in advance and receive their money in any case, regardless of the result.

    A new version, this is a new 2.5 or 3 liter diesel, new manual transmission, new transmission... etc. And the bumper and the stairs to the roof ... this is an easy tuning.

    finished technology .... finished government

    Subaru decided to update the entire line, not news but a song. Sales are going to skyrocket. The forester has been updated and has already done business in November, and judging by the plans, in the new year, Subaru will have everything in sales in perfect order, that's great. They do well for themselves and for people.

    Color blindness has several degrees. At an extreme degree, a person "red" is perceived as "gray". And with a slight degree, called "color weakness", a person does not see only shades of "red" and "green". So he sees "red" at a traffic light in the same way as those who do not suffer from color blindness.

    The same illiteracy in everything, as well as "caused.

    yes, a lot of junk. But not everyone can afford to buy a car.

    @Russian, The wine is excellent, but unfortunately only what remains in Georgia itself, that is, for one's own use. For, really high-quality wine of true Georgian brands is produced there in extremely limited quantities. Well, everything that is intended for us, a Russian with an average income, is mostly produced under the brand name "MINASSALI". And after all, which is typical, the Georgians themselves recognize this fact. Therefore, it is very sad, but in this country now only terry Russophobia is perfectly and 100% qualitatively produced. It's a pity...

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 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.

Korean sedans firmly entered the Russian market and almost immediately took a leading position on it. The balance of appearance, workmanship and price makes them bestsellers for many years in a row. For such people's cars engine life is one of the most important indicators.

As you know, Kia Rio and Hyundai Solaris- These are absolutely identical cars, differing only appearance. They have the same models of engines, manual transmission, automatic transmission, even in the user manual for car maintenance you will not find any differences. Official term service "Solaris", declared by the manufacturer, 180,000 km., but this does not mean that after the specified mileage the motor can be thrown out.

Practice shows that the Kia Rio 6-cylinder engine will last 300,000 km until overhaul without any problems. 8-cylinder can reach the title of "millionaire", when using mechanical box gears. Automatic transmission simply will not last more than 250-300 thousand km.

How much does Kia Rio 3 run?

G4FA or G4FC engines perfectly tolerate domestic 92 gasoline, not always good quality. They are easy to maintain, inlet and exhaust manifolds, Engine support cushions, air filter and candles change quickly and without problems. Don't be intimidated by the aluminum block construction and thin cast iron sleeves, old components are replaced with new ones, as evidenced by numerous owner reviews. With the declared 200,000 km. manufacturer, the Kia Rio G4FA or G4FC engine runs 500, 600, even 700 thousand km. You can easily find cars with such mileage on ad sites.

G4LC engine design is very similar to G4FA, G4FC. The same aluminum block with thin cast-iron sleeves, only the weight has decreased by 14 kg. These engines are more economical than their predecessors, a little "faster", their maximum power is achieved at a lower number of revolutions (6000 rpm versus 6300 rpm). Kia owners Rio (including RIO X-Line) with a KAPPA engine, it is necessary to service the power unit in time, change the pushers every 100 thousand runs, and the chain mechanism every 150 thousand. The declared resource is 250,000 km. run.

The resource of Korean engines today (2018) can be called more than worthy. Yes, it is inferior to Japanese and German motors(especially old), but the difference in price is palpable. Weak point Kia Rio engines are considered a knee-piston group, so it is especially important to change engine oil on time. Cylinders for 200-250 thousand km. usually without scuffing, camshafts and cylinder head gasket without damage, hydraulic tappets in good condition, oil scraper caps are worse preserved.

How much does a Kia Rio engine cost?

An engine for the 2nd generation costs 20-30 thousand rubles, you can find rare ads for 10-15 thousand. Prices for the 3rd generation start at 25 thousand and reach 50-80 thousand rubles.

Engine Kia Rio 1.6 liters produces 123 hp. at 155 Nm of torque. The Gamma 1.6-liter power unit replaced the Alpha series engines in 2010. The power unit was developed by the Korean concern Hyundai and is installed on many platform models. The power unit has shown itself in our market as a reliable and unpretentious motor.


At the moment, this Kia Rio engine has several modifications with variable valve timing on the intake shaft, with a double phase change system on both shafts, with MPI distributed fuel injection, with direct fuel injection. Based on this atmospheric engine, the Korean concern even produces a turbocharged version. Naturally, each modification has its own indicators of power and fuel consumption.

Kia Rio 1.6 engine device

Kia engine Rio 1.6 it is an in-line 4-cylinder, 16-valve unit, with an aluminum cylinder block and a timing chain drive. On the intake shaft is the actuator of the variable valve timing system. Multipoint fuel injection with electronic control. In addition to the aluminum block, the block head, crankshaft pastel and pan are made of the same material. The rejection of the use of heavier cast iron made it possible to lighten the entire power unit.

Timing drive Kia Rio 1.6 l.

The new Rio 1.6 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.

Characteristics of the Rio engine 1.6 l.

  • Working volume - 1591 cm3
  • Number of cylinders - 4
  • Number of valves - 16
  • Cylinder diameter - 77 mm
  • Stroke - 85.4 mm
  • HP power - 123 at 6300 rpm
  • Torque - 155 Nm at 4200 rpm
  • Compression ratio - 11
  • Timing Drive - Chain
  • Max speed- 190 kilometers per hour (with automatic transmission 185 km / h)
  • Acceleration to the first hundred - 10.3 seconds (with automatic transmission 11.2 seconds)
  • Fuel consumption in the city - 7.6 liters (with automatic transmission 8.5 liters)
  • Combined fuel consumption - 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 already known for sure that the next generation of Kia Rio will receive an upgraded version of this engine. A dual phase change system and a variable geometry intake manifold will appear. True, this will not affect power much, but fuel consumption and exhaust toxicity can be reduced. The engine is fully adapted to the consumption of AI-92 gasoline. The same
