New rio will shake up the supermini 'b segment' in ireland so watch out fiesta, yaris, polo, i20, clio etc., etc.
Rio in the flesh is an impressive machine.Straight away, rio's lower stance and longer wheelbase give off an air of stability and strength.Rio looks ralph lauren donna hoodies very smart, thanks to a beautifully designed exterior.The tiger nose grille and bold headlights clearly mark out the rio as a new generation kia.The car is chunky and has polo like solidity.
The tail end of rio is very smart, so it is a great looking car that can't be faulted on exterior design in its sector.Rio sits on a brand new platform that sister company hyundai ralph Lauren will get to use in the near future.
Inside, rio can seat five but, really, there isn't enough shoulder room in the rear for three adults.There is, however, plenty of leg and headroom.
Our test cars were stuffed to the gills with extras most of which won't be available on irish rios, like the reversing camera, heated steering wheel(In a supermini! )Or the massive sat nav display.The cabin is a nice place ralph lauren uomo sconti to be and while the plastics and trim used aren't premium, they are far from nasty.
On the road, the 85bhp, tax band 'a', 1.25 litre petrol Rio(60 70% of expected sales in Ireland)Is eager and a bit of fun to buzz around in.Its steering ralph lauren uomo maglioni is neutral and there is little or no feel much like its rivals.It corners well and stops confidently too.
I also took a 1.4 litre petrol powered Rio(Available in europe)For a test and surprisingly didn't like it as much as the smaller unit.Kia has put an industry leading 1.1 litre, 3 cylinder diesel in the Rio with record breaking emissions of just 85g/CO2 but like the 1.4 petrol it won't be coming here, despite its 88mpg.There simply is no tax incentive to bring it in as the tax band 'a' 1.4 diesel is perfect for higher mileage users.It pulls strongly once you go up the revs a bit and is very frugal on juice.
A three door, sportier looking rio is also being built kia tells me that europe is unique in the world with its love of three door hatchbacks.Elsewhere, in the us for example, they think we're mad paying extra for a car with fewer doors!Kia ireland has no future plans to sell a saloon version.
Kia already has an industry leading, seven year warranty that not only gives owners peace of mind but helps residual values.Globally, it is no surprise that the hyundai/kia motor group is now the world's fourth largest car maker.Kia is ahead of the mighty ford(Fifth)And behind toyota(First), VW(Second)And gm(Third)In global sales.
The b segment/supermini is the largest selling category of car both here and in europe where there are presently 45 different models on sale!So, there's a lot of choice, but new rio can hold its head high as one of the class leaders in this sector and is as good looking as any of them plus it has a better warranty than all of them.
