KIA Rio hatchback - stylish "Korean" with Russian residence permit

Unnatural at first glance, the hatchback continues to hold leadership positions in the Russian market. The popularity of KIA Rio is determined not only by an attractive price. Attracts the exclusivity of cars. KIA Rio hatchback is going to Kaliningrad, hence the affordable prices. But each machine is a single copy. And for fans of modest chic hatchback worth about $ 12,000 - "toy" is quite presentable and affordable.

We must pay tribute to the Korean developers, they are not aimed at the pursuit of prices, in contrast to the domestic car industry, offering buyers a "raw" assembly for a fabulous amount. In this respect, an inexpensive station wagon, distinguished by its excellent quality, has become an excellent alternative to AvtoVAZ products, more like a handicraft invention than a car.

Many consider KIA Rio a hatchback to models of "a golf class". However, the five-door Rio is only a few centimeters inferior to our "eleventh". So it is hardly possible to call it "undiscovered". Not to mention a pretty "muzzle". In this respect, our developers still work and work. Design KIA Rio is an independent development of KIA designers. As a result, a rather presentable car with its bright style turned out.

Interior design can be regarded in two ways, it's enough to look at the images of the KIA Rio hatchback photo. A person who has moved from an inexpensive "Japanese" or European brand, is unlikely to be delighted with the modest finish in gray tones of banal plastic. And the panel lighting will not please the eye. However, the former owners of VAZ's "classics" will immediately note the practicality and quality of the finish. No crevices, no squeaks, no sagging ceilings. And to the rest of the "Ponte" in the design of a true motorist, as a rule, and no business.

Indeed, everything you need for comfortable movement and control of the car, thought out to the smallest detail. KIA Rio hatchback is equipped with a rich package of options, all inscriptions are made in Russian. A trifle, but nice. And most importantly, do not strain your brains, remembering what English letters mean over buttons and keys.

KIA on the Russian market settled quite firmly. I received the KIA Rio hatchback reviews of the first owners. As always in Russia, opinions were divided. But mainly in blame manufacturers put too sensitive automation. Many people say that very often, without cause, the "engine failure" light comes on. In fact, it turns out that poor quality fuel is to blame. Well, the KIA Rio hatchback does not like the substitute that our gas stations "treat" us!

Yes, a half-liter engine KIA provides a hatchback quite good traction. He perfectly adapts to both mechanics and AKP. Not surprising! KIA was created as a full participant in the city stream. Therefore, it starts with a traffic light not worse than an auto with a 16-valve engine. The mechanical box works clearly as a clock. But the AKP on the KIA Rio hatchback will only relieve the clutch pedal. And in winter, and at all can create problems. In the design there is no winter mode and the possibility of switching to manual switching. However, it would be foolish to count on any delights, given the cost of the car. Successful shopping for you!
