Kia Rio Iks Line: Test Drive. Kia Rio X-Line - First Test Drive Kia Rio Iks Line

Hatchback Kia. Rio X-line is another representative of a sufficiently rich market with great competition. This complicated the task of Korean engineers - they had to bring the competitive model to the market. Today there is a lot about the car - both prices, and, and. In order to understand how the model goes, we present to your attention test DriveKia Rio X-line.

Kia Rio X-line

Model X-line - off-road version of the Class V. Hatchback car designed on the basis sedana Kia. Rio for the domestic and Chinese market. For this reason, it is possible to make a reasonable conclusion that in the management of the car resembles Sedan Rio. However, differences new version From its predecessor still exist.

Unlike the fellow, the car is shorter, above, and wider. To some extent, the increase in these parameters is due to plastic lining. The car got enlarged - it rose by 10 mm. Car have another body, and also got elements of off-road style:

• roof rails;
• double pad on the exhaust pipe;
• plastic body kit.

Already initially hatchback is quite rich. At the same time, it is functional enough and allows you to transport large loads, sacrifting the seats of the rear row. If compared with the sedan, somewhat less, but as a result of the modified body, the five-door is more convenient in terms of parking.

Main advantages in motion

In the movement of the hatchback and the sedan have a lot in common. The use of other springs and shock absorbers do not strongly affect the change in the nature of the machine. As a result of the changes, the smoothness of the stroke has improved. Auto with wheels at 15 and 16 inches perfectly copble with straws with sharp edges.

As for noise insulation, it is impossible to call a quiet car. On high speed, the motor is very noise and roars. You can hear the pebbles in the arches of the wheels, and the rails push the air with a large disturbance. For this to the manufacturer minus. At the same time, the rails look appropriate on the roof of the car, although they contribute to high speed.

Driving a car comfortably, the model is characterized by excellent handling. Steering wheel Different with informative, convenience, pleasant form. On-board computer Represents the parameters in a comfortable reading format. The city car copes well with basic functions - overclocking, braking, demonstrating control accuracy and responsiveness. The suspension behaves balanced, quite well overcomes various obstacles on the road.

Many control functions are located in the multimedia display complex. A separate part of the functions is represented by standard buttons. The display reflects information from the rear view cameras, navigation. Mobile devices can also be connected to the multimedia system.

The climatic system is controlled separately under the display. Single below are connectors for external devices. Here is a small niche for the little things and the sheat and steering wheel warm-up buttons. In the cabin there are many diverse niches for convenient location of small things

How to save safety on the road

Considerable attention engineers paid security. The ABC system is equipped with pedestrian recognition feature and is able to independently stop vehicle. The county control system on the road warns the driver that it rebuilds the car without turning on the pointer. If necessary, the system can be deactivated.

In the basic version of the car equipped with a stabilization system, braking control in turns, stabilization with sharp braking. All this in the complex increases safety, controlling the driver's flaws.

Strong and weaknesses of X-line

The car has its strong and weak sides.

Advantages of the model:

• rich equipment in the basic version;
• space in the rear places;
• good overclocking dynamics;
• pleasant external features;
• convenient luggage compartment.

To minuses should take a weak noise insulation high noise at high speeds, not perfect smooth stroke. Perhaps slightly little and clearance.

Summing up

In general, Kia Rio X-Line is an organic model that is a whole impression. Against the background of their predecessors, the novelty looks greatly attractive, dynamic, modern. It can be said that the engineers worked well by submitting a competitive model for our market.

Look at our group

Rio X-Line - This is how it is called in the company, raised cross-hatchback based on the Hyundai-Kia GB platform last generation. In its essence, this car is a hatchback, but due to high depreciation racks and high body cars are like cars of class mini-crossovers. In the idea of \u200b\u200bthe company, new Rio. The X-Line should make a direct competition of Lada Vesta SW Cross and Sundero Stepway from Reno.

Features of the crash test

The new Hatchtbek Kia Rio with the X-Line console is a specialized version of the Rio Hatchback for Russia and the CIS countries. The car appeared on sale in many countries a few months later than the fourth generation of the original Rio. Thus, the first buses of this car came from the conveyor in mid-October, these cars came to buyers even later - by mid-November. In this regard, the crash tests of the new cross-hatchback, the independent office has not yet been carried out. Unlike the model in the body of a sedan and ordinary hatchback, which checked for safety and durability in Latin America and the EU. Crush test Kia Rio. X-Line should be expected from Euro NCAP by the end of the outgoing year, because All parts of the new car, the interior and even equipping 75% repeat the original model.

Judging from the tests of Rio fourth generationThe machine turns out to be almost in the middle of the rating in terms of pedestrian protection. So, the car scored 62 out of 100 points on this indicator. An adult passenger and driver will be able to count on a security of 85%, and the child is 84%. Level additional options security is estimated at 25%, as for basic configuration Auto, where there are no profile pillows and some security tools. Total assessment The basic configuration of the car was estimated in 3 of 5 points.

Rio 2018 was tested in the Hatchback version, but this hatchback differs from X-Line equipping and positioning. On the test of the European NCAP branch, it is a hatchback that was tested with 6 pillows equipped with the Advanced Driving Assistance Pack system, this function includes elements such as pedestrian protection in the city with emergency braking, security in long-distance travel, retaining the machine on its lane following This version of Rio scored in the crash test of 93 points from 100 security for the driver and adult passenger, 84 points - for a child and 71 Points for a pedestrian, funds additional security Appreciated in 59 points.

The main shortcomings on the crash test

To find out the exact indicators of the Rio X-Line crash test today, it is not possible today, but judging by the testing of the Hatchback Rio for the EU market, the car can withstand most of the loads obtained during the accident. Thus, the body of the model with a front collision is lowered, with secondary blows of the security system, the standard mode is triggered, the only thing that causes fears - airbags. So, pillows front passenger And the driver is disclosed with insufficient pressure to ensure safety at the bottom of the pillow. In fact, when the disclosure of these elements, there is a possibility that the driver or passenger can still hit the forehead about the torpedo or the steering wheel, although not critical. According to this indicator, pillows and rear passengers suffer from which sitting from the back can get trash injuries.

The body strength is ensured by ultra-high-strength steel AHSS, which made it possible to strengthen the body of the model, especially this is noticeable in collisions, it also became better and the stiffness of the body for twist, which made the model of the model safer for passengers.

From future Rio X-Line crash tests in the basic version, you should expect averaged results between Rio Sedan and Rio Hatchback at the best equipment.

Kia Rio X-Line Owners Reviews

In essence, shoals did not appear. Yes, Shumka is bad, but it is necessary to call the sneakers to put, not to them the radio helps. Moving is normal, grabs 1.4 for the eyes, a couple of days the box "gets used to" to you and all of you full lord. Consumption and 5 liters. I saw on the track, now winter and with warming up the city of 10.6 stands. It is not worth pouring 95, you can't feel the difference or in power or in the expense.

The chassis was made for us Russians, the lying police officers are free. In winter, it is pleasant to ride, where it lists, it never stuck in the city. Salon budget and neat. Auto shift of glasses only on the driver's side, the squeezing is not fastened belt, too, only at the driver. What door is open not visible. Seats covers are removed. Magnetola is normal. The machine nothing, did not break anything, no races under warranty. From the replacement of oil directly depends on the consumption of gasoline, after replacing the flow rate is dropped by 2 liters.

Comparison I spend with this car. I have a complete set of the FIFA series on the machine. By options, an excellent machine. There is no cruise control ... But before it was not, therefore, it's nothing to compare. Although according to reviews - convenient. The mileage was both around the city and on the highway. The car on the track is very stable. Average consumption is now 7.3 l / km. The height of the body had to get used to a little, as it is below the previous car. And sitting in X-Line also falls much lower than in Suzuki. Suddenly it turned out that the front passenger seat is not regulated at all in height ... the first inconvenience. Next, the seats themselves - for the driver is very and very uncomfortable !! The back is very hard. It is difficult to ride long distances.

I am very pleased with my choice. In the car I like everything. Design, comfort at a great level. Before that, many cars owned, but this car brings pleasure when driving. Good handling, noise insulation is normal, frisky. Not very voracious. Fast, easy, beautiful and fashionable! Good handling, no normal insulation. So far I do not see the shortcomings.

The size of the cabin is sufficient for a family of 4 people (2 adults and 2 children). A little lacking in the cabin of the armrest with a glove compartment, but it is fixable (sold separately). Until the running is not completely pleased with the fuel consumption 9.5-10 l 92th (I want to note that in the book to the car it is written - does not require running, and the dealer said up to 3000 km not to twist the engine more than 3500 rpm).

In general, the car is satisfied, even on the run-in allows you to confidently overtake. I am not from the category of riders, but 110 km / h car rides sure it does not hang out. In principle, it is more and not necessary, and there are no people anyways where you can more, although some are managed.
The air conditioner is shown on perfectly at the same time I did not notice that it affects the dynamic characteristics.

Salon

Mail.Ru Auto

The Salon Rio X-Line is no different from the sedan. Formally you are sitting 10 mm higher, but in reality it is not felt. If you want to understand what the driver feels behind the wheel of the "off-road" Rio, then watch the video below. If briefly: inside the car, especially in rich versions, looks interesting. Informative and beautiful dashboard, comfortable chairs, there is a niche for a cell phone in front of the box lever (plus there are USB and AUX connectors and outlets by 12V).

And the car we tested, so in general, with a circle of coolness: a rear view camera (with dynamic marking!), Parktronic, heating nozzles, windshield and steering wheel. Moreover, there is even a beautiful multimedia system with navigation. And she ... works well! Plastic hard is true. But in this segment, you will not find anything "mmogany" (moreover, we have no complaints about the assembly quality).

New kia rio x online Price which was declared in the fall of 2017 turned out to be quite an attractive offer And it may well be a competition of a domestic novelty of Vesta Sv Cross, which we have already written. Let's not go in comparison, soon buyers themselves will identify the winner in this fight.

Kia Rio X-Line is essentially an ordinary hatching Rio with an abundance of off-road plastic protection and minimal changes in the suspension that allowed to increase 10 centimeters of clearance. Comfortable and practical 5-door body, original appearance It is unlikely to attract lovers of real off-road. However, modern and stylish dachers model may well be interested.

Exterior Kia Rio x Line is a copy chinese model Kia K2 Cross. The Russian division of the Korean concern did not invent the bike, and they already took finished car From the neighboring market, especially since the aggregate base of X Laina and the Rio sedan is common. The usual hatchback (which is sold in the same China, but left our market) received plastic body kit, bumper with silver inserts, a new radiator grille, decorative rails. The back has its own original lights and a good design with a large opening making machine as practical as possible.

Salon "off-road" Rio Almost no different from the interior of the usual sedan. True, the other form of body has made its own adjustments to the back. Now, if you wish, you can completely fold rear seats And turn the car into a minibar. Quality materials and their fit as always on very high levelIn this regard, the models of this manufacturer can put the highest ball. Pretty decent wheelbase at 2600 mm will allow rear passengers With acceptable comfort.

The luggage compartment holds only 390 liters. Despite the deceptive type of station wagon, it is an ordinary hatchback, which is 16 centimeters shorter than sedan. These centimeters cut off just from the back. If you fully fold the back of the rear sofa, then the flat site does not work, but the loading volume is significantly increased.

Specifications Kia Rio X-Line

Road clearance in 17 centimeters may not be sufficient for trips to our country. However, this is all that the Korean designers from the 16-centimeter clearance of the usual sedan could squeeze. If you make a lumen more, it is a significant alteration of the suspension, complete reversal of the steering and the use of mass original detailswhich also need to be developed. In general, no one was going to invest serious resources in Rio X-Line.

Therefore, in the technical part there are no surprises, complete unification with the sedan. Front-wheel drive from independent suspension MacPherson, behind a semi-dependent suspension with a deformable beam. Rache steering with an electric amplifier.

As a basic motor, a gasoline 1.4 liter aggregate developing 100 hp And capable of digesting the gasoline of the AI-92 brand. The engine with an aluminum cylinder block and the timing chain drive is a double system of changing the phases of gas distribution and stacked in the most rigid environmental standards. From the gearboxes, you can select a 6-speed manager or a 6-range automatic machine.

More powerful 1.6 liter 16-valve gas engine Develops 123. horsepower and has a similar design. The motor is combined with 6-st. Mechanical I. automatic gearbox. For more powerful motor put a transmission with other gear ratios, which significantly affects the dynamics.

By the way, if all the equipment of the previous generation of Kia Rio of the previous generation, there were exclusively disc brakes, then today there are drums in cheap versions.

In the list of compact cars with this body there are not so many models - including Renault Sandero, Ford Fiesta and Pseudocrossors type Lada Kalina Cross.. Korean company KIA added to the line of its products hatchback with cross-country, increased by relatively large clearance. Checking its characteristics, as well as the Test Drive Lada Kalina Cross, shows that the model is not a real crossover, but has already received a number of features different from ordinary urban machines.

Exterior and dimensions

Conducting test drive Kia Rio X Line 2017, it is impossible not to pay attention to its appearance combining cars in itself of different types Crossovers capable of overcome off-road, and hatchbacks that occupy a minimum place on city parking. The features of the exterior of the model can be attributed:

• durable and stylish rails, allowing to place on the roof and a small cargo, and a volumetric sports equipment, and an additional trunk;
• improved form front bumper with a chrome lining, which makes the silhouette of the crossover even more dynamic;
• rear bumper with a protective overlay that can use the car owner while traveling on uneven tracks;
• spectacularly looking at the Rio X-Line emblem on the rear door.

Height road Suit The models are 170 mm. This is quite a lot for the city car, although the test drive of the Cret is to seek to look like cross-hatchback X Line, shows much better permeability. Another parameter, volume luggage compartment, also compare with hyundai car Creta - X-Line It is 390 liters, the crossover is 402 liters.

Features of the salon of the new model

The spacious 5-seater hatchback salon is characterized by comfort and expensive finish. Among its advantages can be called:

• ergonomic heated front seats;
• rear armchairs, which can be folded in the proportion of 60 to 40, increasing the volume of the luggage compartment;
• multi-leather finish and the possibility of adjusting height and departure, on which the control elements of the audio system and the central lock are located;
• decorated with a chrome-plated central console, visually expanding the space of the cabin - in top-end sets The multimedia system screen is located here.

Auto doors are equipped with electric windows. For top modifications, climate control systems are provided, heated the second row of chairs and front glass. There are the most expensive versions of the hatchback and a special branch for glasses, and an increase in the comfort level of a sliding armrest.

Challenges and handling

The model comes with two versions of motors that coincide with the same units that stand on kia sedans Rio. The first 1.4 L engine has a power of 99 liters. p., Completed with 6-speed "mechanics", allows the hatchback to reach a speed of 176 km / h and accelerate to 100 km / h in just 12.6 seconds. Buyers have the opportunity to choose and car with a 1,6-liter motor capacity of 123 liters. With. who received the same gearbox and overclocking time to "hundreds" 10.7 seconds.

Considering challenges X-Line, it is worth bringing an example test drive Renault Sandero Stapet, the smoothness of which is comparable to good sedans. The hatchback copes well with small cracks and irregularities of the road, it is perfectly riding at a flat asphalt and confidently keeps on the corners when moving on medium speed. Auto manageability is better when used standard disks 15 inches radius. Installation of 16-inch wheels available for top versions impairs the comfort of the trip. At the same time, the sound insulation of the hatchback remains poor quality in any configuration.

Configuration and prices

Continuing the Kia Rio X Line test drive, it is worth noting the presence of 4 complete sets in the domestic market:

• basic Comfort, which includes heated steering, two airbags, audio system, GLONASS navigator and tire pressure control;
• advanced version of LUXE, obtained climate control, "fog" and LED running lights;
• Prestige AV, characterized by availability alloy wheels, laminated headlights, front armrest, additional airbags and touch screen on the central console;
• pREMIUM version, wheel disks Which have a diameter of 16 inches instead of 15, the interior is decorated with artificial leather, and start the engine is invincible.

The minimum cost of the hatchback in the basic configuration is 775 thousand rubles in the Russian Federation. The average model of the model can be purchased for 800-865 thousand rubles. The price of two top versions is 965 thousand and 1,025 million (Prestige AV and Premium, respectively).

Summarizing

Summing up the test drive of the hatchback, it is worth highlighting those pluses that participants like the inspection:

• not bad equipment even in the basic version;
• available cost and availability of warranty for 5 years;
• spacious second number of chairs, allowing to sit behind three adult passengers;
• good dynamics - especially when overclocking;
• stylish car design.

There are flaws and disadvantages in this list, the main of which is considered poor sound insulation of the cabin. Not all drivers liked the handling of the car on uneven roads. If you consider road trip trips, then, as well as test drive Lada Vesta SW Cross, check hatchback X-Line showed not too satisfactory results. Thus, the model should not buy consideants of country trips, calculating that improving the clearance will noticeably increase its permeability compared to sedans. But for use in the city feature and on the relatively level Asphalt X Line is one of better options On the market.
