Overview of Kia Rio 4th generation 2018: features, prices and equipment
All posts Review of Kia Rio 4th generation 2018: specifications, prices and equipment
The past generation of Kia Rio never managed to reach the hearts and wallets of buyers. Expensive, they say. A budget car should be budget not only in performance, but also in price. So it is true, but is it really that such a popular car in Korea and China will not be able to reach at least the TOP 20 in sales in Ukraine? So something is stopping him. Except the price.
Front and rear design. This is visible to the naked eye. And they have changed for the better. Both the sedan and the hatch have become brighter, more modern, and more stylish, thanks to the California design bureau Kia for this. Nevertheless, for a fierce struggle with European competitors, brightness alone is not enough. Here it would be time to think about the characteristics, and about the range of engines, the choice of boxes and 2018 kia rio trim levels. It turns out that in terms of technical equipment, a compact class B car has not moved a single step.
There was no diesel, and no, the platform remained the same, frankly the old 4-band automatic transmission looks ridiculous even compared to the budget Renault Logan. The interior design has been slightly revised, but there are no global changes in it. Yes, the velor is of high quality, the plastic is soft, the build quality does not cause any complaints. But paying almost $15,000 for all this somehow does not inspire optimism. In fact, not everything is so bad, and now we will direct a bright lamp into the facelift grille of the new Kia Rio and find out all the questions that interest us.
The target audience of the model is young drivers, perhaps without much experience, family, with minimal requirements for comfort. Since young people are at gunpoint, then the motor range should be appropriate to the appearance. Here the inconsistency comes out, since the new Rio declares its dynamics with all its appearance, but in reality everything is not quite so. A young driver will not agree to buy a dull vegetable for that kind of money. However, we will consider this issue, there are others.

Actually, the Hyundai / KIA Motor Manufacturing concern has a huge number of factories around the world. You should not expect that in Ukraine it will be possible to buy Rio of Korean or even Chinese assembly. All these cars go straight to the States, rare copies end up with us through gray dealers. Among them, there are quite rare configurations, diesel versions, and they differ from those cars that can be bought from official dealers.
83.
Indeed, the United States and China remain the priority markets for Koreans. Therefore, the most complete configurations and the latest modifications are delivered there. We get cars made for third world countries, hence the meager line of engines, old boxes and crazy prices. However, this year the differences between our Rio and “not ours” are not so striking. You can count them on the fingers:
Varto take a look: TOP 14 fastest hatchbacks
The starting price of a five-door hatchback is $13,500 or UAH 352,220 at the exchange rate for 2018. The most expensive Prestige equipment will cost 17.3 thousand dollars or 451,360 hryvnias. Without delving into the details and the composition of the configurations and technical specifications, the prices for competitor models make you think hard about the advisability of buying a Kia Rio. Here are some examples:
The base Volkswagen Polo will sell for $16,000, depending on the dealership, where the car was built, and body style. All hatches are more expensive because they are assembled in Europe.
The Ford Fiesta will be ours if we take $12,500 hard-earned to the dealer.
The Peugeot 208 will sell for $13,370 as standard.
