Kiya Rio 3 generations. Bad reviews of owners about Kia Rio III. Salon and electrical equipment

Kia Rio 3 is a representative of the segment B, debuting in 2011. As a basis new Rio.offered by our buyer, the Chinese version was taken car Kia. K2. The assembly of Kia Rio was carried out at the Hyundai factory in St. Petersburg. Sales in Russia started in October 2011.

Features

The third generation Kia Rio has become longer, wider and lower than the predecessor. The famous Peter Schreier worked on the design. The car was modern and attractive, and many exterior details refer to other popular brand models. A dynamic and proportional silhouette with a strongly tilted windshield failed to buyers. In terms of sales, Rio is inferior only to his twin - Hyundai Solaris..

Kia Rio 4.37 meters long - one of the largest sedans in the classroom. The driver received a completely convenient position behind the wheel, and there is no lack of space on the front or on the rear seats. The trunk is very roomy - its capacity of 500 liters. In addition to the sedan was offered a 5-door hatchback. It is shorter than 25 centimeters, which was reflected on the volume of the trunk, which looting up to 389 liters.

Kia Rio 3 is obliged and good equipping. The list of standard equipment included airbags, ABS, electric mirrors and front windows, central locking. IN top equipment Additionally, side airbags and curtains, ESP, climate control, rear parking sensors, invincible access system, start the engine with a button and a multifunction steering wheel with heating.

Engines

Kia. Rio III., like his brother Hyundai Solaris, was completed with four-cylinder gasoline engines of the GAMMA series of 1.4 and 1.6 liters. Motors were collected in China, in the province of Shandong, which indicates the first index in the engine number - "W".

In everyday life, preference is better to give 1,6-liter unit with a capacity of 123 hp Basic 107-strong atmospheric will satisfy only disposal drivers moving mainly in the city.

Both engines have a chain type timing type, and the valve gap is checked every 90,000 km and is regulated by the selection of pushers.

Unfortunately, the individual vehicle owners with a 1.6-L motor capacity have collided with a chain jump for one tooth. Cause - Tensile chain. Fortunately, in all cases it happened small blood - replace chain and tensioner. The cost of the new timing kit is about 6,000 rubles.

But another unpleasant moment occurs more often and also in cars with a 1.6-liter unit. We are talking about leaks from the head of the cylinder block. The defect of the gasket is detected, as a rule, after 60,000 km and is characteristic of Copy 2012. Sometimes after replacing the gasket (after several tens of thousands of kilometers), the flow is detected again. In this case, when warranty repair In the official service, the surface of the block and the head is closely investigated, and after the head changes separately, or assembled with the engine. Note: the cost of the new power aggregate In the order-outfit - 190,000 rubles.

After 40,000 km, you can face another unpleasant surprise - the destruction of the catalyst, accompanied by a drop of thrust. The main danger lies in the likelihood of entering catalyst crumbs to cylinders, which can lead to the appearance of scores. About the sad consequences will tell an increase in the oil consumption. However, it is worth noting that this is not an epidemic, and some owners have passed more than 200,000 km on the factory catalyst.

Transmission

Cars with a 1.4-liter engine were equipped with a 5-speed mechanic and a 4-speed automaton. The 1,6-liter units were equipped with a 5 or 6-range MCPP and a 6-speed automaton.

One of the common drawbacks of mechanics is difficult to turn on the first and rear transmissionEspecially in the cold season or still immentable car. Both transmissions are deprived of synchronizers, but the resistance is sometimes so great that without double the clutch is not to do. The only healing solution is to replace the clutch kit for better, for example, VALEO (about 5,000 rubles).

After 30-50 thousand km, the gland of the primary MCPP shaft was collected due to a sticking sapun in the box. The dried oil falls on the clutch disc, as a result of which the clutch "drops".

Automatic gearbox is very reliable. The main thing is not to neglect the oil replacement every 60,000 km. Complaints on the operation of the machine practically does not occur. And the push when switching is treated by updating the firmware of the control module.

Chassis

At one time, many wrote about the inadequate behavior of Kia Rio on irregularities due to improper suspension settings. In 2012, the manufacturer changed the performance of the rear springs and shock absorbers than improved the situation. However, some owners still remain unhappy. The combination of racks and springs was found by the method of trial and error, allowing to achieve even more satisfactory behavior of the car.

It is worth noting that all components running quite hardy, with the exception of the front hub bearings. Replacing a toupered bearing may be required after 50,000 km. The cost of the new node is about 2,000 rubles.

Thumbs in the steering today are already surprised. The cause of trivial - premature wear The right sleeve of the steering rack. Comments appear after 40-60 thousand km. The cost of repair from 5 to 13 thousand rubles.

Body and Salon

Many owners noted not too high-quality assembly Kia Rio. The claim concerns the accuracy of the exhibition of gaps between body elements. Traditionally, for modern cars, it is not distinguished by special strength and thin paintwork - it is easy to scratch, and chips are formed. However, thanks to the complete galvanizing of the body (with the exception of the roof), the metal in the places of chips is not in a hurry, but there are no "rusty copies" and in risen.

In the cabin, there are also comments to the quality of assembly and materials. In addition, the plastic creaking appears over time, and the steering wheel coating is energized. Sometimes after turning on the air conditioner on a hot day, or the heater in the frost is detected by a crack on plastic - under the button for the power alarm. After 60-80 thousand km, the heating of the driver's seat may fail: a spiral breakdown or in the seat pillow.

One of the reasons for not inclusion of the air conditioner is the failure of the compressor coupling (from 7,000 rubles). On some cars there is a short-term reduction in cooling efficiency due to the icing of the air conditioner evaporator. Deals are easy to eliminate. It is only necessary to establish an additional heater resistance worth 300 rubles.

Conclusion

Kia Rio Third Generation is a very interesting offer. Modern body lines will definitely be attractive for a long time. Long term warranty, low failure intensity and lack of serious problems are increasingly interest among buyers.

The third generation Kia Rio is undoubtedly a good car that is highlighted by its characteristics from the budget segment. But in this article we will not paint all the advantages of this model, on the contrary - we will touch on the question of the negative moments of Kia Rio Third Generation. In addition, we will make a small excursion on the chassis of this car, namely:

• We learn how pressure should be in tires;
• Let's analyze the car suspension, tell me what is responsible for what rear suspension;
• Consider the features of the control of Korean on the road.

In general, the question should be enough for us. All this needs to be known to drivers who only recently bought this Korean horse, as well as those who are going to buy Rio in the near future. It will be about the most popular type of body, in which the model is produced, about the sedan. We describe the third generation, since at the moment it is considered the most popular, and the second one has long been not in the salons. But the owners of the second and first generations also have something to read in our article, since the "highlight" of the chassis with the change of generations does not change and this is confirmed by numerous reviews of the Russian owners of Kia Rio.

What do we need to know about tire pressure?

Tire pressure is rather important, the question is, since this parameter directly affects the car handling, as well as comfort while driving. If the tire pressure is optimal, then the car reacts better to road irregularities, cracks and other defects and braking is best. In general, tire pressure should be as indicated by the manufacturer in the automotive passport. No to find out what the tire pressure should be, you will not have to look for a car passport: pressure in all tires intended for Kia Rio Third Generation, 2.2 Bar is required - the error is allowed in 0.1-0.3 bar. It is desirable that the barometer shown exactly 2.2.

The main thing is that such a tire pressure is at the front pair of the wheels, because the entire load of the power plant is in fact. Some specialists in car dealerships are recommended to leave pressure in the rear tires for 2 BAR. Why do you need such a configuration for rear tires? The fact is that when the pressure in the rear tires meets the passport recommendations, the car begins to jump a little on the uneven road, but these jumps are manifested only at high speed.

But we are confident that now lovers of high-speed ride are reading. But below the twos, it is impossible to lower the tire pressure, since due to this, the rubber wear will increase, it is especially true for the front pair. In general, we seem to understand this question. Follow the recommendations and comfort will please you every trip. And now we turn to a more serious question, to the chassis.

Chassis: How does the car behave on the road

Immediately need to say that the suspension of our Kia Rio was built and regulated on another car - Hyundai Solaris. And if you sit in turn in these two cars, you will understand what is similarities. In addition to the positive moments of the chassis, Hyundai Solaris, Rio Third Generation received the main cons of this model. The main point will be the rear suspension, which literally "walks" by asphalt waves. Due to the fact that the rear suspension is not sufficiently rigid, it is necessary to constantly twist from the driver. According to motorists, turns and turns in this car are held with a tangible rhe. If you move a little with acceleration at the entrance, then Kia Rio will start to leave the specified trajectory. When the brake pedal is pressed in this position, the car usually begins to vive the feed, creating a strong drift.

Yes, the rear suspension suffers, but if the stabilization system is present in your car, the situation on the road is significantly improved. But there is one thing, this system is present only in the top configuration called "Premium", in other versions of ESC ( electronic system Stabilization) No, so if you are just going to buy a car, then the best to give preference to the premium configuration, because She will first give a more comfortable ride. We remind you for Russia, the Korean company has prepared four kIA configuration Rio: Comfort, Suite, Prestige and Premium. The budgetary version is equipped with a power plant with a 1.4-liter motor. It pleases that the basic version of Kia Rio is initially with the ABS system, two airbags, onboard computer, air conditioning, an electronic lift for the front windows and even an audio preparation. This is an excellent set for a budget car.

It is worth saying about the energy intensity that the rear suspension has, together with the 160-millimeter road lumen, the car feels perfectly on winter Road. But at the same time, Kio Rio must be wound in winter tires. But if you catch a large hole in the winter, the rear suspension immediately reports the incident to the salon. The rear suspension sins and during a sharp transmission rearrangements: the car's feed begins to throw from side to side. But such negative sides Not surprising, Kia Rio is not sports car. But, nevertheless, every potential driver Kia Rio third generation should know about these features.

And now about the overall task of the suspension. The task of the rear suspension includes softening ride, it is she who does not allow the driver and passengers to feel blows from stones, holes, cracks and other irregularities. The shock absorbers contribute to this. The front suspension affects control, since the steering mechanism is supplied. In a nutshell, we told about the running part, and now we will go through some features.

Features of the chassis

Power plant consisting of automatic transmission and 1.6-liter gasoline engine, ideal for the route and the city. It is a pity that the gearbox manufacturer did not equip the manual or sports mode to overtake competitors on the highway. In general, the main minus controllability of Kia Rio is the same as Solyaris is the rear suspension. Yes, the similarities with Hyundai Solaris is enough, but the power steering at our Korean sedan is quite different, which has become a weighty plus. It is expressed in that steering wheel It is noticeably tougher, it is necessary to apply effort more, as a result: effective feedback, better informativeness.

But this is not all the advantages that has a third-generation Kia Rio relative to Hyundai Solaris. Many drivers sitting behind the wheel of both cars will confirm that the Rio salon is better isolated from the engine of the engine and from outsiders (tires, winds passing along cars). But additional noise insulation still does not hurt, especially the doors and the hood. By the way, leaving the subject of the chassis, I would like to highlight the efficiency of the brakes of this car: the brake pedal has a short move and moderately elastic, so slowing down can be easily dosed.

*** Against the background of the rest of the car from the budget segment, Kia Rio has very high-quality driving performance. Especially pleased with the hard amplifier of the steering wheel, as well as a uniform and convenient brake pedal, at the expense of which you can always control your movement on any road surface.

Before that almost four years traveled to the Kia Rio of the last generation with mechanical box Transmissions, the car passed without serious breakdowns of 160,000 km - the mileage is serious, so I began to think about changing the car. At first, even thought just a new Kia Rio in the previous bodies with automatic box Gear to take, especially since these cars are sold at discounts. But as I saw the new Kia Rio - I understood, that's what I need. I didn't even want to approach the old car. The car rose not very much, but now it is a real "golf class", there is practically nothing budget in it. In the first days after the purchase, I did not want to go out at all because of the helm.

Reviews of Kia Rio III owners

Kia Rio III, 2012

Dignity : exterior, interior, big trunk, price-quality ratio.

disadvantages : A little rigid suspension.

Ivan, Moscow

Kia Rio III, 2011

I waited 1.6 "Top", in black, bought in Poltava. Auto with bright appearance and enough solid interior. An indifferent remains like the driver and passengers itself. Living Kia Rio III looks better than in the photo. "Fog" look perfectly at night. The front suspension is comfortable "eating" pit (my rating "5"), the rear is harsh and poured karma (at a speed of 100), for the sensations of passengers in the rear seat. In general, the driver's sensations are just the coolest. Auto starts the car, accelerates and slows down.

Auto maneuverable enough and has small external dimensionsThat is a plus with intensive movement for rapid rebuilding, overtaking, parking. Noise isolation: when the engine is on, standing in a traffic jam, its work is not audible (it is even unusual), there is a shumka under the lid of the hood and trunk. Arches really heard an excessive sound of engine operation. "Shumka" - on "4 plus". Capacity: I have a family of 4 people, two children. Growth of adults - 174 cm, everything is comfortable. From behind, no one has left her head nor legs. There is enough space for everyone, in the trunk (500 liters) everything climbs: strollers, bags, boxes. Really, this is a big "plus" for the family.

Dignity : Excellent engine work, automatic transmission, brakes, climate control. Trunk. Gasoline consumption. Dimensions of the car.

disadvantages : Weak LCP. The rigidity of the rear suspension.

Kia Rio III, 2012

Pros Kia Rio III: excellent noise insulation. If the car is warmed, it is simply impossible to determine whether the motor works or not - so quiet. Decent finish, good finishing materials, stylish dashboard. If the color of all the indicators was not so mute, but there was, for example, white, green or yellow, then the machine would be "luxury", and so just looks good. A good sound of the audio preparation, it consists of a radio with two bands and a multi-format disk player. The doors that do not make some loud and unpleasant sounds are ideally closed. Responsive brake system. Even at high speed is very good handling. There is a "Overdrive" mode. "Respect" climate control. 17.5 degrees - this indicator can be safely supported and without inclusion of the air conditioner, and simply with climate control. Well operating fan, extensive air duct system. Amazing visibility, which is provided by wide rearview mirrors, their variety of electrically regulating is also possible, which adds comfort and convenience. Kia Rio III gives 5 years warranty, when buying from official dealers.

Dignity : Listed above.

disadvantages : little place behind. Little trunk. Hard suspension. Cotton steering wheel.

Kia Rio III, 2011

I bought Kia Rio III almost new in 2015, although at that time he was 4 years old, and the mileage was only 6,800 km. Before buying, I read reviews, interested weak spots. According to rumors quickly erased leather braid The steering wheel, the machine is unstable in the feed at speed, the rake is branded, almost already from the exit from the conveyor, LCP. And then all the above did not touch me, I was missing for the wheel after repairing the tractor, to elbow in fuel oil, the suspension in the hatch did not fly, it did not chase in the forest, scratching color. Although on the track and 150 kept long enough. But here the 16th wheels are played an important role, which is equipped with a premium equipment. And even on the outlet - the same 16th molding disk. As if to the reserve. This is a plus. The engine is Chinese, but his resource is great, they run without problems and in a taxi for 300 thousand km. It is quite economical, I think Litres 10 in the city. Honestly, I did not measure, plus / minus 1 liter does not play a role for me. Here if the consumption is above 13, as was my Opel Astra J, I consider it a bit too much. In general, to be honest, write review about folk car, koi pond pride - a boring business. Reliable, economical, inexpensive in service. It was this that was not once on service at a dealer, because They simply are not in Yakutsk, and well, that was not. Oil, but filters change - it's not cunning. Machine on Dorestayle (2011-2015) 4-speed, hydro-industry. Now there is a mileage of 59 thousand km - no problems. Although I am from those people who traveled on many cars. And for me, the concept of the fact that breakdowns can happen up to 100 thousand runs - the matter is strange. "Japanese" to 200-500 thousand km run and run. Salon is pleasant, this package Premium is the maximum. The system of course stability with its presence gives a bit of confidence in management, works well, played her on the snow-covered Lights of Yakutia at 100 km / h - all is well. The most important minus Kia Rio III is the absence of charisma. It is beautiful, but very common.

Dignity : price. Reliability. Unpretentious. Equipment.

disadvantages : No Harizma.

Kia Rio III, 2015

And so, this long-awaited day came when I became the owner of Kia Rio III. There was no limit to joy. To some extent, Euphoria has not even passed in a year. But I will try to objectively assess the pros and cons: the suspension is certainly not perfect, harsh and created exclusively for good roads. On the highway high speed (3000 already 90 km / h). LCP is weak, there are already a pair of chips on the hood. Now about pleasant: appearance on 5+. The engine is very good for 1.4. Handling at reasonable speeds (up to 120) at height. Kia Rio III brakes allow you to predict to slow down. Places are enough both in front and rear. Very pleasant interior for its class. In winter, the car is warm, heated seats and steering wheel. The oil oil changes through 15,000, but I decided to replace at 7500. The consumption of gasoline average in the city 9l, on the highway 7 liters. Lew 95th on Rosneft. Rubber stood a regular kumho. In the summer I ride on it. Pereobul on the casting is original, as I found used at a good price. There are no special complaints to her. Tires like tires. For the winter I bought a "Velcro" and put on the factory stamping. During the year of operation in Kia Rio III, nothing broke. The car while justifies the reputation of the trouble-free city car.

Dignity : appearance. Engine. Controllability. Pleasant interior. Warm stove. Unpretentious.

disadvantages : Hard suspension. High revs on the track. LCP.

Kia Rio III, 2012

Acquired Kia Rio III 1.6 l MCPP "Prestige" white color. The cabin is quite spacious for the machine "b" class. With growth 189, I can not comfortably sit down yet. Wine all the lack of steering wheel adjustment. Seats made of dirt-repellent fabric. Multiculor will be covered with "skin", the panel is partially also covered with "skin". The instrument panel "Super Vihn" constantly pleases the eye. All power windows. There is an armrest, but even under my long hands he is short. In the doorway inserts from the fabric. Noise insulation sufficient. I will not add to complement. Climate control blows. Glasses do not sweat yet. So you can say while copes. Salon Kia. Rio III warms up for 10-15 minutes. Pleases the presence of air ducts to the legs rear passengers. Blow great. Full tape recorder plays tolerable. Engine and box without complaints. Consistent well. Translations are included well. Acceleration faster than Ford 1.6 L 105 hp And Octavia 1.6 l. It will start easily (worth the native battery). The clutch delay valve is very annoying. How warming, immediately throw it away. Brakes are adequate. Brake predicted. Clearance 160 mm. Now a lot of Protalin is already, but the lumen is enough. Plus stands metal protection. Low springs rear cups. Large trunk. There is a full-size spare wheel on the crash disk and the organizer. The feeling behind the wheel Kia Rio III is dual. Some "toyness" feels. The suspension is harsh. And on good coverage, the feeling that you go on a foreign car. I really do not like the inclusion of light and fog on the handle of turn signals. It is not highlighted. And on the go, you have to look at the touch, where they include them there. There are automatic running lights. Well, running lights It is difficult to name. On the engine, when lowering the handbrake, dimensions light up: dimensions and low headlights. Total 10 light bulbs. There is an unpleasant moment. When you turn, the steering wheel is spinning the tightly than to the right. At least the first half of the turnover. No outsiders GUR outlines. And in my opinion it happens always. Opened a tank of Gora. There are some bunches there. I will rinse the system and pour new liquid. If it does not help, I will go further.

Dignity : unpretentious. Price. Not bad equipment of the car.

disadvantages : There are no steering steering. Hard suspension.

Nikolay, Ivanovo

Kia Rio III, 2015

This car was bought by me in the summer of 2016. To date, drove 35,000 km. Two then from the official dealer. There were no problems. But immediately need to put "lockers" and preferably "stick" them. By the ratio of price-quality, in my opinion, a budget option better not find. Consumption on the highway 6.5 - 7 liters in the city reaches 10 liters. When overclocking more than 120 km in an hour Kia Rio III does not behave steadily. I tried to accelerate up to 160, but it did not further squeeze, after all, this car is not intended for such speeds. Pendant Kia. Rio III behaves normally, a couple of times hit the pits, scolded discs. In general, if you drive along a normal road, then the car will serve for a very long time, but unfortunately we in Russia. The car does its job well, I can't say anything bad. You just need to pass in time. Before that, there was a passenger Pontiac Grand Prix and Chevrolet miniatribus, and, of course, Pontiac is much softer and more resistant at a speed of 200 km per hour, but also the price is respectively higher.

Dignity : Excellent value for money and quality.

disadvantages : Suspension harsh.
