Body Kia Rio, inside and outside

Body car Kia. Rio galvanized. There is some anti-corrosion coating. In general, it can be said that Rio is protected reliable from corrosion. Working with these machines daily, I almost never saw Rusty Rio. Often in the network you can find the opinion that the paintwork of the Koreans is very subtle and unreliable that chips and cracks often happen from entering small stones. I can not agree with this, especially calculate it to the essential shortcomings of this car. Skoles occur on absolutely all machines of any brands.

Concerning interior decoration, I must admit, the quality of plastic is not the highest. Elements of the instrument panels and the central console are made of hard materials. Screensions and "crickets" Conventional phenomenon in Rio, as in many machines from this price range. In general, the sound isolation at Rio is quite mediocre. The cabin is well heard noise from the contact of the wheels with the road surface, the operation of the engine and the suspension. It is possible to eliminate this by making an additional car noise insulation.

What often breaks:

• Heated seats, burn heating elements.
• Blocks of windows buttons. Amenable to simple repairs.
• Magnetic control buttons blocks on the steering wheel. They have to simply change.

All these breakdowns are eliminated and can hardly be considered determining when choosing a car, but some amount, if available, "throw off" from the sale price is still needed.

Repair of heating seats, with a replacement to a universal, will cost up to $ 50. Repair of the windows buttons - up to 1 thousand r., Magnetic buttons with a replacement to $ 70. Attention prices, if you do on a service station.

Cap from Logo Kia! Price 338 rubles.

Engine problems

On the kia Rio The third generation is installed only two motors: 1.4 and 1.6 liters. Both are chain engines, that is, the timing belt every 60 thousand changes do not have to be considered a plus. The chain goes for quite a long time, replacing the regulations for 120 thousand mileage only In case of extraneous noise from the chain caused by its stretching. It happens extremely rare.

Engine Gamma, Kia Rio 3

Motors Kia Rio have a resource of 250 thousand km. This means that such a run in most engines can manifest a substantial wear of the cylinder-piston group, which implies the replacement of the cylinder block (Short Block) assessing the new one. Aluminum motors and do not have repair sizes under the protocate. That is, it is impossible to order the pistons of the repair size, they are simply not produced. Of course, changing the cylinder block is very expensive, so the service of the block of block appeared in our market. Thus, it is possible to save significantly, but the cost of repair will still be at least $ 1500.

Twitters (high-purity dynamics in the door) for Kia Rio.

To run in 60 - 90 thousand in Rio, the catalytic converter often fails exhaust gases (catalyst). By itself, he is dear, so unfortunately, in our country it is often not changed, but just knock out. This leads to a more toxic exhaust and loud sleeve sound.

But the catalyst breakdown itself is not so significant as possible consequences. Structurally, the catalyst on Rio engines is located very close to the head of the cylinder block. Because of this, when the catalyst is destroyed, ceramic dust sucks in cylinders. It acts as a sandpaper on the surface of the cylinder, leads to rapid wear and scope. The engine loses compression, consumes oil. It is necessary to make repairs (sleeve) or replacement of the cylinder block. Therefore, "Topping" the destruction of the catalyst will have to lay out a large amount for the repair of the motor.

If Rio is equipped with gas-filled equipment, you have to keep in mind that in the design of the engines there are no hydraulic components. This means that valve gaps are adjusted manually. On the car with HBO will have to do this time in 40 - 90 thousand km mileage, depending on the style of driving and the quality of the HBO setup. The adjustment procedure is complex and costs about $ 150 on official services.

Often, ignition coils break on Rio. They are here 4, one on the cylinder. The cost is one original about $ 50. Usually occurs on runs more than 50,000 km. The cause of the breakdown can be on time not replaced candles.

On the mileage of about 50,000 from under the hood of Rio may appear high whistle, especially on a cold engine. The cause of the whistle, as a rule, the mechanism of the belt tensioner is add. Equipment or belt itself. Question price - belt 900 rubles, tensioner - 5000 r.

Motors, perhaps, that's all.

Transmission

Mechanical PPC reliable and does not have any frequent diseases.

The machine is also quite simple and unpretentious, but still has some problems. On runs about 100,000, and sometimes before, jerking and blows can be shown when switching. Another frequent symptom - the inclusion delay rear transmission: turn on reverse, let go of the brake pedal, and the car does not go, after a second, two transmission turns on and moves. All these problems of the machine are treated with the replacement of the ACP valve block. The price of this item is high, so before buying, be sure to check the machine for these problems. But it is impossible to say that this is a very frequent malfunction.

Suspension

The suspension design is simple: Front McPherson, rear - a semi-dependent split beam.

On runs 15 - 30 thousand can sound stabilizer racks. Less often, the wear of the stabilizer bushings is manifested. Replacing these parts will not hit the pocket, so it is difficult to call it a significant disadvantage.

From behind, everything is simple and there is almost nothing to break.

Pendant Kia Rio is rather rigid, as in many other cars of this class. Due to this rigidity and bad roads On runs 50 - 60 thousand sometimes fail hub bearings. Shock absorbers and springs go long, again, if you try, you can kill them for 50 thousand, but these are special cases.

In the first Rio, the owners complained about the knock on the steering mechanism. The reason was the rail sleeve. On machines from 2012 release, this factory defect was eliminated.

At all Rio sometimes meets such a symptom: the steering wheel rotates with uneven effort, then tight, then more easily, depending on the position of the steering wheel. The cause is in the steering rake, or rather, in the spool valve, which is constrained by the fluid flow. It can be replaced separately.

RESULTS

So, when buying Rio with mileage I advise be sure to check the following:

• Engine: Make computer diagnostic and measure compression (nominal value of 12.5 kg / cm2, the difference between cylinders is not greater than 1 kg / cm2).
• Automatic transmission: also comp. Diagnostics and trial, make sure that the gear shift is smooth. Try on the spot, on idling Switch transmissions from D to R and make sure that the car rows from the place on a flat surface without pressing the gas pedal, without delay, and when switching there is no tangible impact.
• Suspension: Make a general diagnosis of chassis with a mandatory check of all hub bearings and with a steering rack check. At idle, in place, turn the wheel from the stop until it stops, the rotation must be uniform, the force applied to the steering wheel should not change.
• Body: Check the LCP using paint thickness gauge, so you will learn whether the car participated in an accident. The factory LCP on Kia Rio has a thickness of 120-140 microns.

Ownership reviews

The first impressions of the car are the most positive. The engine is gaining a temperature much faster than my Opel, and longer holds it after turning off. The transition from 90 horses by 123 is very felt. I tried on the Moscow track, moderate turns, the engine works easily. I am 120 km / h in food, but I feel like 80 km / h on my Opel.

The suspension works very well. Music sounds no worse than I had before, but there I had invested a lot for this, and then everything is already there. Connecting the phone through bluetooth comfortable thing. The engine is practically not heard. There are no aerodynamic noises. There is a bunch of all heated, but it is now impossible to evaluate it, I will appreciate in winter.

Cons: Wheels are well audible, lubricate the impression. During the warmlation, vibration is felt, also felt it yesterday, when in traffic jams made his way into his garage, mainly in the 1st gear. Let's see what the runoff will give. The new plastic salon, of course, smells, but it is not at all the smell that I felt in the new Renault Dusters. After them, my face was burning until the evening, although I am not allergic.

Of the advantages, I will note the appearance, pleasant interior decoration. Clear switching speeds box. They say it is still warm in winter - check. The radio receiver is worthy of a separate praise, I have not worked anywhere else. The spacious shelf behind the passengers is well the seedlings in the country.

It is possible to start to start and beatted on the traffic light. Clutch pedal tender. Motor on Nizakh does not pull, the moment is stretched. At speed begins to scour like a dog on a leash, but it will be not boring on the road. Vibrates the engine along with the chair and the lounge - do not despair, not everyone has a vibrary house, but it will be in the car!

Elena Medvedev, review about new Kia. Rio 1.6 (123 hp) MCPP 2017

Modern appearance, the interior has become more, but not much. I wanted mechanics, but there are no longer in such a configuration. I had to take the machine, and did not lose - it switches clearly and smoothly, and the consumption grew not significantly. With full tank, there is enough for 750 km of the mileage on a computer. In real life, I think it will not be much different.

The suspension has become better, softer, on our roads the most. Before Logan, of course, far, but not the one, as on the past, where every joke was felt on the body. Added parking sensors, bluetooth, pleasant things. Lenzovy lights shine with bang. Heated rear seats for children in winter - good.

Surprised compared to last version the absence of thermo- and noise insulation of the hood ... Although the engine works quietly. The reserve is full-size, but on the stamping! Although the machine on the disks, and in the past disk lay.

The cloth. Equipment, although it is indicated as "prestige", but the material was worse, treated with covers. And killed that inside the cabin there is no fabric upholstery of doors in any configuration! There is also no where the leather upholstery of the panel, which looked at 5 on the past!

With a good suspension, they put horrible stocks Nexxen, full pipe! They are noisy, the trajectory is not kept, despite the fact that the car has become harder. Initially, the consumption was an average of 11 liters. Yes, the machine has to pay ... drove the first 1,000 km, fell, but not much, I would like to bring up to 9 liters.

Feedback on Kia Rio 1.6 (123 hp) with automatt 2017 G.V.

Where can one buy?

Transmission. They took the mechanics, since the automatic transmission on the last car ran a little. The pedal had to either put pressure on the floor, or to release that the box finally switched. It is impossible to catch the average position.

Engine. Power is enough on overtaking. Transfer down and you can overtake. Osago cheap, 4 200 rubles per year, for two with his wife.

Exterior. The car looks perfectly, and the blessing is better than in the photo. They took white, because it combines both beauty and practicality.

Interior. Ergonomically and beautiful. Red backlight likes. The instrument panel is beautiful, the lighting turns on smoothly, gradually. Multiculor pleases. Plastic on the torpedo china (once again, it is better not to touch with your fingers). Salon is spacious, but two large men, in the front seats in winter in the down jackets will be closed.

Noise isolation. Fine. The city is good, on the highway is noisy, but not critical. In the future I want to cry the arches, doors, hood, trunk. Together with the replacement of standard columns. Such a feeling that you turn on low quality music.

Consumption. On the highway long, 1,000 km consumption was 5.7-6.0 liters. In the city in winter 10 liters. In frosts with warm-up 12-14 liters.

Review Pro new Kia. Rio 1.4 Mechanics 2017

What did you like:
1. The traveler engine, on overtaking goes confident, especially when you make kykdown.
2. Decent light and very well luminous fog drawers (give a clear border).
3. Well managed at high speeds (130-140 km / h).
4. Good climate control operation (quickly warms up and maintains the specified temperature).
5. You can go with a small fuel consumption (at a speed of 90-100 km / h stacked in 6 liters).

What did not like:
1. Not in this configuration of the armrest (the "Lux" comronce).
2. No bluetooth.

Now about breakdowns. For incomplete two weeks and 3,000 km of mileage managed to overload the lamp in the central lighting ceiling (and maybe for another reason, the plane stopped working, today I am going to the dealer).

Feedback on Kia Rio 4 1.6 (123 hp) with automatic machine 2017 G.V.

Many motorists have long noticed that in order not to make a mistake with the choice of the car it is worth a preference to a car popular among the wide masses. Over the past few years, the Class sedan leader is considered a car Hyundai Solaris.. Against the background of such success, the twin of this model Kia Rio looks slightly sluggish. However, this is only when compared with the absolute market leader. At the same time, Rio is sold much more successful than other models of the same class, including Logan, Polo and Rapida.

Attention! In just four years, which this Korean car was sold in Russia, approximately 400 thousand cars were sold. No model of the superminy class and is closely able to repeat a similar result.

KIA engineers studied all the mistakes that were admitted to Hyundai manufacturers, such as suspension settings, ABS, trunk lid, and so on. But the main crews of Rio immediately managed to heat the interest of the public.

But, nevertheless, if you believe the reviews of the owners of deficiencies in Kia Rio is still there. Therefore, to understand all the advantages and cons Kia. Rio reviews need to be studied as carefully.

Reviews

Feedback Gennady, Moscow, Kia Rio

Good day! They offer to stop walking in pink glasses and look attentively on what we actually evaporate called Kia Rio. I read reviews kia owners KIO 2 flaws are almost not described. It seems that this perfect car. But this is not the case. Therefore, I decided to write my feedback as the owner of Kia Rio and all the minutes and the advantages to describe here honestly.

The first than I remained dissatisfied with this fuel consumption. It is indicated that it is only six liters per hundred kilometers, and in fact Kia Rio eats all ten liters. On account external view There is no dispute, it looks rather stylish. The tail was drawn from Audi, and in front of Lexus. But it turned out, in general, not bad. With the engine, too, no special problems arise. My motor has already ran 80 thousand kilometers and have not yet failed me. Oil change every 10 thousand kilometers. In winter, even conducted an experiment. I did not go to her four days. I wanted to see whether it will be headed in minus 36. And it was necessary to start taking the second time. Neighkaya Skoda and Volkswagen test did not pass, xhe x. The engine is generally cool. True and there are some shortcomings. All mounts, bolts and clamps rot quickly and thoroughly.

But the biggest drawback of this car is, of course, the suspension. It is no any. So tough that the feeling that I was not on a foreign car of the twenty-first century, but on the Soviet Uzika. After several trips, the back simply falls off. What struck me is that one original rear shock absorber is ten thousand per piece. It's crazy to go crazy ten thousand. I decided well, I will not put the original. Put the Japanese KYB shock absorbers. They and cheaper a little and Kia Rio became softer.

The next moment is noise insulation. It is simply not. Well, it is clear what to demand from budget car. But I can't forgive such weakness as the body. I do not know about others, but at my Kia Rio after buying a gap on the rear right door such that the little finger is fluent in there. The car bought a new one that there is no funny to the left of this clearance. Is it really impossible to adjust at least the doors. Metal is very thin, only 1 millimeter. You can just get the hood and doors. From here I conclude that if you get into an accident, my car will not be able to save me. She just his whole doubts. And the pillows are not yet known if they open.

About the LCP I'm afraid to even talk. Such a terrible attitude towards the consumer may only meet in Russia in Russia. The car did not bother even paint. She simply poured paint, as it turned out, and sent to the further assembly. In Kia Rio, the paint is simply not. When I changed the windshield, it was a feeling that he was given to the opening. As the result, the roof was rotable. I gave the car to a friend to the repraparation, removed the gum, and there's still worse than it seemed first. They saw not only the traces of the opener, but he had a bunch of rot. I think more than six months and just a solid hole would appear in the salon. You painted painted, but not to polish. After all, the layer of paint and varnish is not. In short, I simply made a cosmetic repair and sold. Too her upset me.

Review Andrei, Chelyabinsk, Kia Rio

Finally, I found the time to leave feedback. I have long wanted. I think that cars must be considered for their minuses. Only this can be understood, with which it is necessary to deal with.

Kia Rio bought from official dealers. Already here left dissatisfied. Even the second set of rubber was not included. I had to ride a whole month in winter summer rubber While the old one did not sell. So, let's begin.

Noise isolation at all. The hum in the car is terrible. Right on the ears pressed. He began, of course, get used to, but still there is a problem. As soon as I started using the car, then the car never wanted to open from the first attempt. Moreover, this refers to the key to the Singalka. I had to first manually press once on the closure of the door, and then on the discovery. Only then opened the door to open. I went to the official, I was told that they could not help. The lock does not work only when the car stood untouched for several hours. And to leave them the car on the night there was no possibility, besides, so that they come in the morning and saw that the lock does not work. He said to them just replace the power supply. So they did not want, they say that everything became strictly and to each broken part it is necessary to make photos and video. With that, I left sending them in thoughts where the eyes look. Then at work myself disassembled everything there was a few contacts in oil. I wipe them and the problem itself decided.

Already on four thousand mileage I knocked out the catalyst. If you suddenly forget to turn on the headlights, the buzzer will not inform you about it. But if suddenly it will be below 4 degrees on the street, it will constantly squeak. Clearance is clearly not for our roads. Do not believe everything they say in YouTube. If two men sneeze back, then you practically catch the bottom of the asphalt.

And finally the suspension. It is clearly not intended for the transport of people. Firewood and sorry to carry on it. Be sure even the smallest bodie you will definitely feel. And in a set with oak seats will be doubly pleasant. I do not know how in other reviews of the owners of Kia Rio minuses, which did not seem to notice, but I found them and I did not like them.

Review Andrei, St. Petersburg, Kia Rio

The decision to buy exactly Kia Rio was made spontaneously. My wife and I just recently graduated from studying and work while not very big salary. And here they found this option. He studied all the reviews of the owners of Kia Rio 2016, the disadvantages did not seem to be found. I will describe my first impressions after the purchase

About fuel consumption is a complete scam. Surely measured some stupid Korean. You can safely add 2-3 liters to the stated indicators. Motor power by 1.6 declared 123 horsepower. But she definitely does not pull on 123 horses. As a normal sixteenthyllaponik still rides. But where the remaining horses are not known. Lasil on the forums, this question is often discussed. Everyone has its own versions, but I never found an accurate answer.

It is immediately clear that Kia Rio gathered in Russia. And it is in vain. Side S. right side Plastic curved. I tried to bother myself, but the moment was missed by the campaign. Left so when the door is closed, it seems like not noticeable. Half rear seat It was not fixed in any way and constantly leaning away. Corrected by a screwdriver and hammer himself.

Now, with regard to operation.

PPC I think the most ancient that the manufacturers were able to find. Probably from here and consumption is. Ecologists would know for sure would have broken themselves. It works, of course, less, especially for the city, but not directly pleased.

The weakest place Kia Rio is a suspension. Tat some complain that at the speed the back part can throw a little. So it is not surprising. The machine weighs only 1150 kilograms, despite the fact that most of Across the front. It's very little. With the rod really there are problems, but I think everything is because of the masses. Once uploaded full trunk, And in the salon, five men, so the problem disappeared, though the motor no longer pull.

As for the salon, it is not bad. But only B. maximum sets. There is almost nothing in the cabin itself. There is no backlight of the buttons and backlight in the glove compartment, as well as windows. All the little things, but I had to finish yourself. For navigation from the factory, 50 thousand wanted me. Laughed and ordered himself from China. He brought to her the camera and the registrar. The magnetol amplifier is also very weak. I had to put a normal acoustics.

But on what Koreans saved the most on the body. Just not to pass what a thin metal. Scary leaning against the car. Paint on the thresholds after two years already bubbled. And in general, paint is not very.

Review Victor, Ekaterinburg, Kia Rio

I will write briefly and your feedback. I didn't like Kia Rio. I went to her just about a year later I sold it. The body is generally weak. Thin like paper. And after some time began to rot. I immediately alerted. The car is new, like so. But it is still fine. There is no noise insulation. Two days sat, glued all the seals. Otherwise, just the head was split. But the most terrible suspension is. On such a tough car I have never traveled. Soothed only when I sold it. I do not advise anyone Kia Rio.

All those who waited for Kia Rio in the third generation do not want and hear about the possible shortcomings of the car, but for what criteria still choose vehicle?

It is important to take into account not only the advantages, which is quite a few, but also the disadvantages of Kia Rio that came out in 2016 to be prepared for unexpected situations on the road.

What advantages has Kia Rio

One of the main advantages to which the car has large dimensions, which speaks about good capacity. Such a vehicle is ideal for traveling with the family, in a large company, when you can put everything you need to the trunk for 500 liters.

This is a very economical car not only on fuel consumption, but also maintenancewhat is perfectly combined with budget value basic configuration. The car is highly equipped, so the buyer receives much more than the buyer than counting.

What would you like to note among the shortcomings

There are, of course, flaws in Kia Rio, but they are not significant, so do not be afraid that the car breaks your dreams. Disadvantages of kia Rio 2016 begins with noise insulation. Today she became an integral part of a comfortable ride, especially when it comes to megalopolis. In Kia Rio, this parameter is not ideal, but it is easy to fix if you make additional isolation.

The second drawback is plastic crankcase protection. If you constantly move on roads with an uneven relief, you can damage this defense and then do not avoid problems. The problem is also easily eliminated, as with noise insulation, just put metal lining. In any service will work in a couple of hours.

There were no serious problems in Kia Rio, only single cases of complaints about creaking wipers, dove headlights leading towards the steering wheel and crickets in the area. Not rare there are complaints on steering rack and rear shock absorbers and poorly closing driver's door, so do these three weak spots Kia Rio. However, it is worth noting that all the listed problems are unlikely to meet immediately on one car. A separate topic concerns a special requirement for the engine, very much Rio pickled - poor-quality oil immediately causes engine disease. But in general, we can say that for the middle class is an excellent option.

Body

• Very bad paintwork as on. Especially often chips arise on, hood and wings.
• Cars windshield.
• The driver's castle is badly triggered.
• After severe frosts, there is a doors seal (replacement is required).
• A loosely closing driver's door is already on the second thousand run.

Chassis

• In the first models there was a strong knock in the front suspension.
• Highly hard suspension (especially in winter, racks become tough and creaked).
• On the first thousand run, the steering wheel begins to pull a little right. Required
