Everything is ready for the market launch of the new 2012 Kia Rio, that after the German catwalk in Frankfurt, will arrive on the roads from September 17 at the Open House scheduled the Korean manufacturer.
Dynamic and engaging the car will certainly breach between the younger clientele, always hungry for technology, and is ready to contend for market share in direct competition in its segment. Ford Fiesta, Renault Clio and Fiat Grande Punto will have to pay attention to this Korean pepper, both in design and updated mechanical live up to its ambitions.
The fourth-generation sports sporty lines, enhanced by generous headlights, tail and sides of the tall grille evocative family feeling of the manufacturer. More spacious, thanks to the increase in length of 55 mm, width 25 and lower than 15 mm, for a truly sporty trim, the car offers a wider plank. On board we find a 3-spoke steering wheel with multifunction controls, seats and details of the profile wrapping premium vehicle.
The engine range is rich. Under the skin of the 5-door version, which will be joined later also the configuration of three, a throbbing 1.2-liter gasoline engine 85 hp power and 120 Nm of torque and the 1.1 diesel three-cylinder 70 bhp and 170 Nm of torque and more powerful 1.4 liter, 90 hp and 220 Nm of torque. The two units are offered in conjunction with the 6-speed transmission.
The catalog of engines in 2012 will add a second 1.4-liter gasoline engine with a power of 109 hp and 136 Nm of torque.
The equipment is full of interesting and unusual equipment, aiming to conquer the 5-star Euro NCAP rating on the security front. On board there are six airbags (front, side and curtain), electronic stability control, emergency brake assist, and Hill Start Assist for uphill and downhill maneuvers.
And more: four-disc brakes (front ones are ventilated), LED daytime running lights, trip computer, power steering, MP3 radio with steering wheel controls and aux and USB, manual air conditioning and electrically operated door mirrors.
More refined versions of the EX, which adds the front armrest, door handles and exterior mirrors in body color and chrome radiator grille. Conclude the pack the chrome trim in the cockpit, the 16-inch alloy wheels, steering wheel and shift knob in leather, fog lights and tinted rear glass.
Also competitive prices. Covered by manufacturer’s warranty for seven years or 150 thousand miles, the Kia Rio has list prices ranging from 11,790 euros needed to buy the petrol version and 15,950 euros in the construction of the LX version 1.4 Diesel EX Plus With the incentive of manufacturer amounted to 1,800 euros, the new Kia Rio is available in promotion from 9,990 euros.
Do not pay for the fact that he left behind in the first half of the year recording a nice +20% over the same period of 2010, the Kia tamp firmly on the accelerator and is about to jump out to conquer new market shares. At the turn of the year will end the heir of the cee’d, while a few months later, in the spring of 2012, the Korean house will take root in the segment D.
Uncirculated First, however, the spotlight on another new, very important for the Italian market: the Kia Rio 2012, which gives an output on the catwalk in Frankfurt, before ending up almost simultaneously, in the windows of dealers for The doors open on 17 and 18 September. Of its predecessor, the new generation retains the name right in practice, being built on a platform with a new and designed with a modern and sporty, light years away from that a little ‘austerity of the outgoing Rio.
Kia Rio 2012 captures the look, the family feeling affermatosi evolving since the style is passed under the guidance of Peter Schreyer. Then respond “Present!” appeal to the grille in the nose of the tiger (tiger nose, or, to put it into English), as well as the wide lower air intake that debuted last Picanto. The other distinguishing marks are the shoulder line and the wedge-shaped rib that marks the side creating an interplay of concave and convex surfaces. Round and round, however, the best profile of the Rio 2012 seems to back. Side B has as its protagonists large LED lights and a small rear window angle to the tail gives a look almost coupe, aided by the small spoiler that acts as a chorus on the entire range.
The 2012 Kia Rio is not only change of image but also puts a few centimeters. The length increases by 55 mm, 4,045 mm touching part, the width increases by 25 mm, for a total of 172 cm and the height is actually the only voice in decline, with a -15 mm to 1,455 mm brings the roof ground. The step is lengthened by 7 cm, helping to increase the living space, while moving forward of the windscreen pillars of 156 mm gives more light inside.
DO RE MI The bridge has been designed without many ideas in her head, with a more sober style. Here, too, is not missing an original touch, with four buttons (for air conditioning, heated rear window and activation / exclusion of air circulation) that have a very successful, by way ‘of the player piano. The assemblies are well kept, while some have plastic that looks like a ‘cheap, a defect that is becoming more common in a time when cost containment is a must. Overall, however, the degree of finish is more than satisfactory.
Beneath the skin lies a brand new platform, represents a novelty as well as the four-cylinder petrol 1,200 called to equip also the Picanto and likely best-seller in the range of Kia Rio 2012. Credited with 85 hp at 6,000 rpm and 120 Nm at 4,000 rpm, allowing you to take from 0 to 100 in 13.1 seconds and reach 172 km / h with an average declared a 20 km / liter round round. In terms of consumption the sample is, however, another debutant, the little three-cylinder turbo-diesel CRDi 1.1 75 bhp and 170 Nm (constant between 1,500 to 2,750 rpm), who is satisfied on the card of a liter every 27.8 km. The other key figures speak of a 0-100 in 16.1 seconds and 158 km / h top. The offer closes another CRDi turbo diesel, this time from 90 to 220 Nm 1,400, for that one speaks of 14.1 seconds, 172 km / h and 24.4 km / liter.
Three trim levels are also. That “base” is called LX, and not just a decoy, made especially to advertise, saying “starting …” and that no interest to anyone then, bare as a lime tree in January. Its budget is in fact already complete, since it includes air conditioning, 6 airbags, electronic stability control and stereo. The next step is the EX version (+510 million), which also offers a front center armrest, and various details in the body color. At the top there is also the EX Plus (+ additional 1,500 euros), which also boasts alloy wheels 16 “(standard ones are 15″ steel), steering wheel and leather shift knob, fog lights, electric windows on all the doors and rear windows tinted.
As to prices, in theory, you should start by 11,790 of 1,200 euros to 15,950 euros to get LX 1.4 CRDi EX Plus the practice is different, however, since Kia has decided to launch a bid with an unconditional discount launch of 1,800 euros, which brings the first price at only 9,900 euros and the entrance fee for 1,100 to 11,590 euros CRDi. And these figures, the 2012 Kia Rio deserves a little thought.
